Outdoor Research Men's PL Sensor Gloves

Edit: After a couple days use, these broke in and stretched, making them fit much more loosely. I would say they run a size larger than most other gloves. Men who usually wear medium may need small to ensure the finger tips are snug for proper touch use. Mine are too loose now, and an air gap in the finger tips makes touching difficult to impossible without first bunching it at the knuckle to snug the tip.These are a thinner pair of gloves but not the most lightweight from this manufacturer. The PL Base is much thinner, as it is missing the fleece liner that these have. These are easy to apply with stretchy cuff and cuff shield. The sparse but useful silicone on the palm allows good grip. The "MotionWrap" feature is actually quite noticeable and there are less seams, and the product fits well without any break in period. The fit allowed for good range of motion when reaching for the touch screen. Out of the group I reviewed, theses were my favorite for automobile driving use.This product is very similar to the Seirus Hyperlite. I have been purchasing those for years and will most likely switch to Outdoor Research to take advantage of the lifetime warranty.Photos of brand new item being worn: http://imgur.com/a/IFuRs

Extremely comfortable. Touch-screen compatibility works very well. Sticky grip surfaces are inconvenient when driving, but great for outdoors activities. Temperature rating is a little optimistic: my hands started to get cold after only a few minutes with temperatures around 30 degrees. Folds up compact to slip into a jacket pocket and the snap connector to keep the gloves with their pair is a nice touch.

I've been using them for a few months, hiking and cycling to work. They are fine when I wear them in 10˚c+ condition but too cold below. I use my iPhone while wearing them but I find it works better using my right hand than my left.I forgot one glove in a hut and bought a second pair.

Bought these for my husband to wear running. His phone has the lifeproof case and they do not work at all. So I tried it on our ipad to see if they were totally defective. They do technically work, but you have to press pretty hard for it to work. I have women's touchscreen gloves made by HEAD and they work much better.

I bought these as a gift for my husband. He has to haul musical gear and needed something that was flexible in order to do this. The grips on the gloves are an extra bonus. While they are not the warmest gloves in the world, we live on the coast so it isn't terribly cold anyway. The slim fit allows them to be worn under heavier gloves if needed. The size is also great. We have trouble finding gloves for him because his hands are so large. Usually the XL are too small. These fit perfectly.

The sensor portion of the gloves is just barely sensitive and accurate enough to type my entry passphrase. I suppose it's better than nothing, but it is very imprecise.

Perhaps if you bought a size too smile, they might actually function. However, having bought a properly fitting size, they function terribly poorly. In fact, I have non-touchscreen compatible full finger Fox cycling gloves that actually operate a touch screen MUCH better than these do. The only way I could get them to work at all was apply so much pressure that my iPhone screen was actually discoloring.

good wind breakers and driving gloves. like that I can use my smart phone with. the silicon when dirty obviously loses some of its grippiness (is that a word?)
