Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Lost Coast Fingerless Mitts

I have used them extensively the past four months. Like them very much. Wife wants a WOMANS version. Issue: magnet moves after some time and does not line up with fold over mitten top and flops around.

I got this for super cold weather after seeing my husband's but the quality has gone downhill. I'm not even sure it'll be as warm as before... The mitten portion used to be white sherpa but is now made of some blue plasticy feeling rough curly fleece which isn't as soft or warm as sherpa as advertised (yes sherpa is fleece but not all fleece is sherpa). It's also a bit tighter around the mitten pocket compared to before. The label and description says it's part suede but the palm part that was suede in the past is now replaced with some thin slightly fuzzy polyester made to look like suede. It doesn't look like suede, smell or feel like suede. You can even see the woven fibers making up the faux suede. The price hasn't gone down despite the degradation of this product and the labels lie about the materials. If you look at the materials list itself, you'll see there's no mention of suede/leather. The thin material probably won't last as long as actual leather. A serious disappointment in this long standing highly rated company. If you are fully knowledgeable about what you are actually receiving vs what is marketed, then buy these gloves. They are probably still warm based off others reviews though I don't know when the product changed, and the thin fleece inside the glove keeps you warm. The wool (probably still real) knit is also thicker than others of similar convertible glove/mitten types. The length down the wrist has also gotten longer than before. It's not all bad, I'm just disappointed in their misleading marketing and lower quality product when they're supposed to be a company known for quality products and it has made me lose a lot of trust in them.

If you're just trying to keep your hands warm these gloves will do the trick... but they're kinda thick which makes doing things awkward or impossible... I bought them to wear while I walk my dog... but it's hard to securely hold the leash or pick up after her...honestly if it were easier to return them I would have

I really like the style on these. They have a magnet that held the mitten portion back when you weren't using them. The grey and brown fit nicely with casual wear or a more dressed up look. Ultimately I'm returning them based on the fit. The seams would tug and become tight on my hand anytime I made a fist or gripped something. The style was great, though.

These glove are not built for my hand, L gloves do not fit me, only XL and XXL. The fingers are very tight, however, my pinky finger barely emerges from the glove, giving no fingerless benefit. The closeover flap is also super narrow, so your fingers get a bit compressed. I've spent quite a bit of time stretching the width of the finger and flap just to get it fit a little better. I think if you had pencil stick fingers (very long and super skinny) they would work better. This is really too bad, because the construction is really good, the fit is just poor. I can't help but feel they just scaled up a M glove without finding a real person to see if they would work.

The pull-over mitten part is much narrower than the fingers and will cut off your circulation.

These gloves were great for two hunting seasons, but the thumbs wore through till only the lining was left. Not happy for the price I paid for them. I thought I was buying a quality mitten.

Let me start by saying that I own a ton of OR gear and most, if not all of it has served me well. I am, however, extremely disappointed with these "gloves". I was super excited to get a modern upgrade to the old school ragg wool gloves that I had years ago. These fell far short. Fit: I ordered a large, since I wear large in all other mitts and gloves, OR or other brands. The fit on these is extremely weird. All the fingers are the same length, including the pinkie. Which means that the pinkie is completely covered. The thumb on the other hand, the internal lining is about 3/4" shorter than the exterior, which meant, no matter how hard I tried, that the fabric just dangles in the way. The interior fabric is also separate from the external fabric, so when you take the gloves off, they bunch up and are difficult to get back on. As bad or as weird as the fit is, the "Flap" has to be the worst designed part of any gear I have seen in recent years! It is narrower, by about an inch, than the rest of the glove. So if you want to use it, your fingers are crushed and it cuts the circulation off to them.
