The gloves are comfortable and provide thermal comfort up to around 0°C. On the plus side, they offer a secure grip – the material on the inside is very solid. However, there is no response with touch screens.
Tactical gloves featuring advanced thermal insulation, tailored for operation in cold environments. They deliver effective protection from low temperatures while also safeguarding hands from abrasions and cuts. A secure fit ensures optimal grip control without compromising dexterity for precise tasks.
The specialized surface on the palm side minimizes slipping on wet surfaces. Polyester panels offer reliable ventilation. An insulating layer crafted from 3M Thinsulate material efficiently traps body heat, guaranteeing warmth in frigid conditions. Wide velcro-fastened cuffs enable an adjustable fit.

The gloves positively surprised me, they fulfill their role. They passed the test during an intensive winter tactical training. You can operate weapons with them without any problem.
-
The gloves fit well on the hands and are comfortable, but they are mainly suitable for temperatures close to zero degrees. They do not provide protection against wind, but they allow you to perform various tasks freely.
-
The gloves are well made, but they are not suitable for frost, rather for chilly weather slightly above zero. The material covering the inside of the hand does not provide any grip.
-
You can't do anything in these gloves, you have to take them off. You can't attach them to a carabiner, they don't have any loop. Good grip, nice appearance, warm. Up to -5 degrees is fine.
-
I am positively surprised. I expected worse thermal properties. We'll see about durability, but they fit me better than products from a well-known American brand.
-
A big disappointment. Poor at keeping warmth and heating up a cold hand. Additionally, terrible performance on touch screens. The only plus is the quality of workmanship and the sizing, which fits slim hands.

My first experience with Helikon gloves. Since I’m a Helikon fan, but also of Mechanix, I decided to check how good these Helikon gloves are. First and most important thing – don’t rely on the size chart on the militaria.pl website as it’s incorrect. I chose my size based on the Helikon website – I recommend checking before buying. I saw a comment here that these gloves get wet. With all due respect – if you’re looking for waterproof gloves, I suggest rubber or latex ones. You can’t expect waterproofness from this material. As for the gloves themselves and my impressions (I’ve tried many Mechanix glove models). Very positive impression at first glance. The gloves are neatly made, and the sizes match those provided by the manufacturer. Very nice texture on the inside and fingertips – makes everything stick to them, whether it’s a trekking pole, phone, or dog leash. The grip in these gloves is definitely secure, and that’s a big plus. Regarding thermal insulation – unfortunately, there’s no frost now and it’s unclear when it’ll come, so I can’t check, but I can say something based on the thickness of this insulating layer. Since it’s Thinsulate from 3M, I know it from my Mechanix gloves. It’s not a thick layer, so these definitely aren’t gloves for severe cold like -5°C or lower. This insulation at this thickness will ensure thermal comfort around zero, so more for transitional seasons. Thanks to the insulation not being too thick, you can still feel things in the gloves and operate a phone or unzip pockets quite comfortably. As always – it’s a trade-off (less insulation = better glove flexibility). I believe that for this price these are very good gloves, and I’ll definitely buy some other Helikon models, including summer ones. In this regard, Helikon did a good job. I recommend them!

The gloves provide a decent grip and not bad thermal insulation. They'll do in a milder winter (temperatures around 0°C), but for lower temperatures, I'd suggest something warmer.
-
Great gloves, well fitted, do not restrain hand movement, and it's easy to operate the phone through the rubberized elements imitating touch. For temperatures around zero, they work excellently, but below that they may be a bit too thin. As with Helikon products, mega mega mega, 5 stars!
-
I've been using the gloves for a long time and can confidently recommend them; they are very warm and well-fitted, solid workmanship, and a cool addition is the clip that connects the gloves together. Another cool feature is the ability to operate touchscreens. I recommend!
-
I was unsure about buying, but after putting them on I knew they had to stay with me. As for warmth - it's average, but that's the trade-off for good flexibility and grip sensitivity.
-
Good gloves for working with firearms. Choosing the right size is crucial for the gloves to perform well at the range. They fit the hand, don't cause the material to bunch up, and don't snag on weapon parts. I recommend the product.
-
The gloves are average. There is thermal insulation, but it's not very effective. Good for around 0°C. With not very intensive use, signs of wear appeared after just 3 months. I would choose something else next time.
-
Warm gloves, very nice grip material preventing poles from slipping, and helpful when grabbing or leaning on something with your hand. They fit well, and you can't feel strong wind.
