ManzellaMens Intrepid Polartec Windbloc Touchtip

Comfortable and works well as gloves in 30-40 degree weather. Touchscreen is OK, I wish it had more of the conductive material on the tips so it was easier to use the tip of your finger to be precise. I sort of have to use the area of my finger print to press the screen which proves very difficult unless you're on a tablet. I have been using them to walk my dog for months and they're very solid.

I have a long but not particularly wide hands and the large was long enough and very comfortable. I did notice that the thumb was really wide however. This could be so that when you curl your hands (on a ski pole for example) it doesn’t cut into you. Regardless, while a bit awkward looking, it is not obtrusive or bothersome. These are truly windproof and good for milder days when worn solo. The rating on the package was the medium one, called “Warmer” and was described as “for moderate activity levels or cold conditions”. This seems accurate so far. These also fit well over my thin wool liner gloves for extra warmth, but then I forfeit the touch screen capabilities. That isn’t a big deal when I am out on a warmish day snowshoeing or hiking, however, and it is good to have the option to layer up a bit. I wanted to also make sure to say that these gloves are really well made. I expect they are going to last a long time. I prefer having one or two pair of really nice, comfortable gloves than a pile of so-so ones and I can already tell these will be my main lighter pair this winter season.

Overall, I rated these gloves as four stars. They didn't seem to be that warm for Polartec gloves although they were rated as "warmer". They weren't that effective while trying to use my phone either. But they fit snug (I did order UP a size as I figured they'd run small), were relatively warm, were relatively durable, and made working on things fairly easy as they were flexible. I wore them multiple times while camping, working on my truck, etc. Temps got down to the mid 30's with a slight wind. I do like them and wouldn't recommend not buying them unless you are looking for gloves to wear while you are using your phone a lot. I think there may be better options overall if you are looking for a warm glove but I am satisfied with these gloves.

I wanted a pair of gloves for going uphill on ski tours - which meant a thinner, more breathable glove that was still windproof. I also needed a glove that was touchscreen compatible, as I use my phone for navigation purposes. These gloves made by Manzella satisfied those requirements well. They do have some insulation but are breathable, and they seem to work well with touchscreens. I measured my hand using the manufacturer's guide, which suggested a Large, and the gloves I got fit well. I'm typically a Medium/Large, so I would say these gloves fit as expected. I wouldn't use these gloves for downhill skiing as they wouldn't be warm enough, but they would be suitable for high-output winter activities, like yardwork, ski touring, snowshoeing, etc. - this depends on personal preference, of course.

The MANZILLA Polartec gloves make for a nice fashionable addition to a man's wardrobe. They are snug fitting, but not to the point of being uncomfortable. They come with Touchtip capability on the thumb and index finger, allowing you to work your cell phone or smart watch without having to take your gloves off. With some past gloves of this style, I have found that it is harder for it to work with a watch. This is not the case with this glove.A nice touch is the palm of the glove as well as the other fingers have a grippy, silicon pad helping to insure your phone won't slip from your hand while holding it.As to the glove keeping your hands warm, it seems to work best in temperatures above 32 degrees. In other words, I'm not wearing these while shoveling snow. Pricing seems to put the glove in the mid to upper range for this type of glove. They are well made and I certainly wouldn't feel cheated if I bought a pair.

I have an old pair of Manzella gloves in Medium that fit great and I also wear Medium Mechanix gloves, but for some reason this pair is a little too tight in the fingers. Also, the touch function does not work at all on my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra phone. You can get gloves without touch function for less so I wouldn't really recommend these.

I really like these Manzella Intrepid gloves for their tailoring and fit, as well as the choice of fabrics. They have a streamlined fit which looks great. However they do not allow for usage of my Samsung Note20 when worn. Which is kind of disappointing given that they are supposed to be optimized for such purposes. I am not sure if it may be how I have my phone set up that is causing the problem or the glove itelf, I will be looking in to the matter in the next few days and I will update this if I figure out a solution. Fit is true to size.

So, I wear these on cold or wet days, they allow me to use my phone with gloves on so keep my hands and fingers dry and warm all day at work while I am out delivering packages.I love this tech, the fact that they work with my [phone is great.I don't have to keep taking them ion and off all day, I can get through a whole shift without ever taking them off if I chose.A great value for such a good glove.
