GordiniMen's Gore-tex Storm Trooper Ii Waterproof Insulated Gloves

I’ve been searching for warm winter gloves for a few weeks. I bought a new two-stage, battery-operated snow blower this year, and my older, cheap gloves just weren’t working to keep my hands warm while using it. I need gloves, rather than mitts, in order to work the hand controls of the machine effectively and safely. And, I’m only doing online shopping at the moment due to COVID concerns. I really did my research, and I narrowed down the possibilities for gloves to three brands. I had to eliminate one brand when I discovered that the inner lining was wool…my skin gets a rash and itches when in contact with wool. Another pair cost over $200 CAN plus 15% tax here in Canada, and there were a very limited number of online stores that offered them. I contacted the manufacturer, but the gloves weren’t going to be available again until March 2022. Not much use for me and my snow blowing this year! Plus, I was really unsure about the sizing for that brand. That left the Gordini GTX Storm Trooper II gloves as my final choice. I’m really, really very happy with my purchase! I usually wear a Women’s Medium in most gloves and mittens, but sometimes a small. From the size chart for gloves on the Gordini website, I’d need between a Women’s Medium and Large, or a Men’s Small. I measure 7.25-inches in finger length, and 7.5 inches in circumference. Okay…for the great price on Amazon, I went for the Men’s Small. Fantastic choice!!! Although the finger length is a smidgen long for me [maybe 1/4-inch], the circumference fits snugly. More snuggly than what I expected for the sizing chart. I don’t think a women’s Medium would have fit me. I must say that I often opt for a Men’s Small in athletic and outdoor clothing due to my body type, and these gloves were no exception. The gloves seem to be well made, with goatskin leather trim. The gauntlets on the gloves fit easily over the cuff of my down coat to keep the cold air out. I removed the wrist strap attachment [easy to do], but I could see why it would come in handy for a lot of people. The zipper pockets for the hand warmer packs are a nice feature. There is a warning on a tag inside the gloves to be careful about removing the gloves, as you need to grasp each finger individually in order to prevent the inner lining from pulling out. The gloves lack optimum dexterity, as the fingers are packed with insulation. I won’t be using my cell phone with these gloves, but I’m okay with that. However, I can operate the controls on the snow blower without problems. The fingers look short in the photos, but they really aren't. The gloves are certainly warmer than I had expected. Today, the temperature here was 19F/-8F, with a wind chill making it feel like 14F/-10C. After taking a walk outside for almost 1 hour, my hands were toasty. I’ll have to see how the gloves do in colder weather, but so far, these gloves are keepers!!

Finally invested in a great pair of gloves for skiing season! These kept my hands super warm and dry all day even in the worst conditions. Happy with this purchase and would recommend them to a friend. I got a Mens size small to fit my medium size women hands

I didn't know how much I would appreciate the wrist straps until I used these. Being able to take the gloves off without worrying about dropping them was great! I could easily use my phone and adjust things while going down the mountain and on the chairlift. Other than that I'd echo the other good reviews on the glove quality. Wasn't able to put it through a whole season of use but it seemed to be very durable and was fully waterproof.

Gloves were bought for son. He said gloves Gloves are warm enough. They were a little tight fitting. He did measurements and followed sizing on chart.He is now putting baseball in gloves to loosen them. Good buy. Might go ups size if you are considering purchasing gloves.

This are nicely constructed gloves, but they are extremely bulky and not great for colder weather days. The one thing I like is the wrist attachment however, as it makes it easy to not misplace them when you need to take the gloves off.
