Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Vigor Heavyweight Sensor Gloves

I'm only giving it 4 stars because the "sensors" don't work to access my phone. However I use these on my motorcycle on cold days and they get the job done for sure.

I have this style of glove in Medium-weight. They are excellent gloves. I ordered these heavyweight ones in the exact same size as the medium-weight ones and they don't fit. It is almost as if the same pattern is used for sizing, but it doesn't take into account the thicker fabric. Frustrating as it isn't worth shipping back for return.

I bought these gloves primarily as commuting gloves and as inserts into a large pair of mittens I have. I have enjoyed how warm these gloves are; however, I find that the insulation is somewhat separated from the fabric at the tips of the fingers rendering the touch screen portion of these gloves unusable. After going to a local retailer to see if I've purchased the wrong size, I confirmed that in either size, all the heavyweight gloves are the same. The room for the insulation prevents me from being able to answer a call on my phone or from doing fine tasks like easily picking a key of off my key chain.

Great for winter running, but the fingers are a little long for me. I would buy again but try going down a size.

These gloves are wonderful except one very important thing... If you have a wide or large hand you won't be able to get them on. I ordered an XL for my husband and he can't get them on. Wish the wrist had some stretch because he won't obviously wear them. Wish return process was easier with a free shipping label. Maybe I'll gift to someone that has a slender hand.

Good fit and I like how they connect together so I don't lose one. However, I wouldn't mind if I lost both of them. I needed something warmer than some liner gloves for running and wanted a fingertip compatible with a phone and watch unlike all my other warm gloves. These weren't good for either of those and are quite bulky on top of that. I left a handful of four and five star reviews for other OR gear, but these don't do anything as advertised. They are no warmer than the liner gloves they replaced, the fingertip does nothing on my phone and there's not enough grip on them to open dog bags when walking the dogs. My fingertips get oddly cold wearing these. I cannot fathom how little warmth they have for that much bulk.

Got this pair of gloves for walking/jogging in the chilly New England temperatures. Look sharp- Fit is good once you jam your hand through the tight wrist area. I wore them out today for the first time- in fairness it is 30 degrees- went out for an hour and a half- I realized my hands were not warm- especially the index finger with the different fabric due to being able to use your phone- that finger was much colder. I actually did second half of the walk with glove on one hand and other barehanded- crazy but my hand without glove was warmer than the one with the glove- Couldn't recommend these gloves

Bought these gloves for work as I need to maintain touch screen capabilities. The gloves are great, fit well, warm, ect BUT the sensor doesn't work. I spent a whole day trying to use devices and ended up having to take the gloves off. Plus side: warranty has been amazing and they have already sent me a new pair. Hoping the first ones were just a dud and I can update the review in a couple weeks.

For the first time I am not impressed with an OR product. I found the cuff on the left glove was very tight and difficult to put on. For a "heavy weight" glove they are pretty light weight (not very warm). The sensor finger was not reliable and I had to pull the glove off at times.

As an everyday glove, the old-style Vigor sensor gloves were a great choice. The new version however is not "heavyweight" by any description. The sensor pads are smaller, the silicone grip area is meager and the fabric is thinner and not near as warm. DO NOT BUY THESE VERSION TWO GLOVES.

Do not buy these. I owned a pair of older OR Sensor gloves and they were phenomenal. I just got these as did my wife and we tested on iphone and Pixel with and without screen on protector and the sensors are awful. It doesn't work at all. I'm returning them immediately and I'm livid because OR doesn't have free returns.

Salesperson claimed that this was their warmest glove for casual use, which was not true. My hands were freezing on this morning's walk (35 degrees out). Since you can't actually put the gloves on without removing the sales tags, I can no longer return them.

XL Vigor Midweight Sensor gloves, fit. XL Carbide Sensor gloves, fit. XL Flurry Sensor gloves, fit. XL Vigor Heavyweight Sensor glove, NOT EVEN CLOSE! The cuff is so small I could not get my hand in them. Come on, OR! Tell your manufacturer to add a little more material to these gloves so an XL will actually be an XL!

Ordered these gloves to use for bike commuting in the cold. I based my size selection on the sizing guide provided, measured my hand and order according to their recommendation. The gloves came and are too small. When I called regarding an exchange I learned that you cannot exchange items for free. Even though the sizing was based on their recommendation, I am stuck paying for return shipping. The customer service agent claimed the company "isn't set up for return shipping," which just means they don't want to pay it. Stay away unless you want to be stuck with extra costs.

Been wearing out a pair a year for quite a while. They changed the fit and now the XL is hard to pull on and so tight my hands tingle. I don't have sausage fingers or frying pan hands. Other XL's fit fine. Hopefully OR can get the fit back to true size.

Small for "extra large", snug fit compared to OR extra large gloves I've bought in the past. And not very warm. Even in the 20's I'm noticing they don't keep my hands warm, though that may be in part du to snug fit. Also, slow to dry.
