The fit is good ok their own, good protection from weather. I think will make excellent liners for colder weather which I haven't been able to test out yet

Two of my climbing and scrambling friends have been using these in sloppy weather with great success. They work well on days when you are working hard enough to sweat, but the weather conditions are damp. They let the sweat out and keep the rain in. I love that they aren't bulky. I did teach ice ax arrest in them last weekend, and they aren't great submersed in wet snow, but pretty much all my gear gets soaked through on days like that.

These gloves are great. I can wear them from about 50 degrees until about 20 degrees. Now, I really only carry these along with the Alti mitts. When it gets really cold, I use these as the liner for the Altis.

These are my all-purpose gloves for everything short of extremely cold conditions. They have a lot of dexterity and keep my perpetually cold hands pretty warm. I use them on canoe camping trips in the fall and short xc skiing jaunts in the winter. Also they are great driving gloves because of the leather grip.

I am really excited about this glove. I use this glove for swinging ice tools. I have a warm pair for the belay and this pair is for the climbing. They fit really good and snug on my wrist. The zipper is a great feature on the wrist and the leather palm has a great grip even when wet. I am going to keep buying these gloves.

I have used the stormtrackers out around town, and also out hiking in old, windy conditions. I found them to be be comfortable. As a person with chronically cold hands, they did a good job of regulating my hand temperature while active, and kept my hands pretty comfortable. I'm looking forward to using them for ski touring.
Only thing I'm confused about: I thought the "sensor" part meant they worked with smartphones? This does not seem to be the case (I don't really care about this, just an observation).
Although my hands met the measurements for the medium, I found the MD's too tight around the base of the fingers and thought they'd limit my circulation. I sized up to the large and have found them to be perfect. They broke in and stretched just a bit, and have a perfect fit. Maybe I just have super muscle bound fingers?

I have small child hands, and these gloves in size small fit snugly and still allow plenty of dexterity for temperatures down to 20F and a light wind. These gloves have enough sensitivity for me to comfortably handle carabiners and manage rope work while climbing. The touch screen compatibility worked as expected. It was nice not having to take off gloves to use my phone for photos or GPS.
Highly recommended!

I wore these while hiking in Maryland. They kept the fingers warm but were a bit bulky. Warm fingers were the priority so it did the job.

I thought these would be a bit more insulated, but they did the trick for ice climbing with temps in the 30's. I have a large palm so they are a bit restrictive in the thumb. They are a large.

I love these gloves. They fit really well (I am normally a M and they fit true to size). I have used them in many sub 0 ski tours and for a weekend AST course in the rain. They held up really well in both, only getting saturated by mid day from rain. They are tough to get back on if your hands get moist - not a design flaw just a note. These are super awesome. Highly recommend.

Should be called the FairWeatherTracker glove.
Good quality & tailored fit, however these gloves offer little warmth in the alpine. Wore them on mountain in -2C and my hands were freezing.

I used these gloves in the snow, and they did a great job keeping my hands dry. The fit is perfect for me ( I followed the online guides and measured my hand width and length) which is one of the reasons I rated this glove so high! I will say that my hands typically run cold, so I needed to wear a lining or keep my hands moving to generate heat to stay warm.

I have poor circulation, so my hands get cold easily. They still get cold in these gloves, but I do love the durability of them. The leather on the palm is nice and soft, the gloves fit very well, and I like the zipper on the wrist. Overall, I'm happy with them, but I wish they were just a bit warmer!

According to the measurements on their size chart, I should wear a medium. The medium is too small. Other than that, they seem like very nice gloves.

I got these for wearing while touring around the backcountry in the PNW. They've been working great while going uphill and for quick downhill laps. if anything I'd say they're a bit warm for me on the uphill. great protection from the wind and snow. Smooth, soft leather on the palm. Easy to get on and off.

Slightly small fit, but good for dexterity. Will be my new go to. I have shorter fingers, and this glove fits my hands well. Like them!

I am disappointed that the clips are on the opposite side from each other and not mirrored. The clip on the right hand is in line with where your pole straps go for skiing. Bad call! They should both be in the location where it is on the Left hand glove. I will be cutting mine off because of this.

Bought a few hoping for dexterity and reasonably water proof. First, these had a really bad chemical smell. It sort of nauseated me. I wanted to love them since they gave me good dexterity. They are not water resistant at all. There is not place in my life where I want to pay so much and have a warm glove get wet. I cannot imagine why these would be for ice climbing. I wanted them for camp chores, backcountry skiing chores such as putting skins on and off and scraping ice off of skis. These will not stay dry even for those small uses. I returned them.

Bought these gloves as a replacement for some super old OR gloves (that I have long loved.) I wore them out and about on walks and they performed all right - standard gloves. But my issue came while out fat biking. As soon as my hands got a little sweaty the inside of the glove pulled out and made it hard to get back on. Fairly annoying. So I will just keep these for low intensity winter activity.

I returned and reordered these twice and they are still too small. Wasn't worth paying the shipping for a third time for a size that fit

I would only wear them on days it does not rain. I bought them for hiking in the Pacific NW in the winter in the rain. I thought because they said good for snow sports, ice climbing and mountaineering and were gore-tex they would be waterproof. I wore them on a rainy day hiking in the woods and my hands were freezing and wet! They were dripping wet. They are the most expensive gloves I have ever bought and am very disappointed. I usually really like OR products.

Great gloves, but way too tight. I took the right measurement and I was in the middle of M range. I could feel my blood flow and the thumb is weirdly small. It happend the same to a friend the same week. I finally bought M for men instead...
