The gloves work very well on colder days. Thanks to the Thinsulate insulation, they hold heat well and at the same time are not overly thick. The softshell material protects well against wind and light moisture. The gloves fit comfortably on the hand and provide a secure grip. The wz.93 Pantera camouflage looks really good and matches the rest of the gear nicely. For this price, a very successful and practical model.

Thinsulate is a high-tech insulating material from 3M with a special construction based on synthetic microfibers that provide high thermal insulation at a low weight. Its lightweight, elasticity, and ability to retain heat even in humid conditions make it widely used in clothing and footwear. Thinsulate fibers are durable and abrasion-resistant, resulting in long-lasting durability.
TouchScreen technology enables precise use of device touch screens without removing gloves. It uses special conductive materials embedded in the fingertips. TouchScreen provides the comfort and functionality of gloves without sacrificing hand protection.

Very good gloves. They withstand low temperatures, deal well with moisture, and don't get soaked for a long time. In addition, they don't get damaged. You can confidently recommend them for a winter hike.

Great gloves for cooler days. They keep you warm, yet do not restrict grip or precision. The material is pleasant, and the sizing matches the description. Very good value for money.

I have to say that I am really disappointed. After reading many reviews, I expected solid gloves, but unfortunately, that's not the case. I felt cold air seeping in while using them. At a temperature of around 6°C, and with a perceived temperature as low as -13°C, my hands froze almost immediately after stepping outside. Honestly, I felt just as "warm" in thin, elegant leather gloves with a light wool layer, meant for mild spring weather, which I had used previously. For a product advertised as winter gloves, this is simply disappointing. In the meantime, before these arrived, I bought another pair of alpine gloves at a similar price, also with 3M Thinsulate, because I didn't want to freeze on dog walks again. Those perform much better even at lower temperatures, and aren't noticeably thicker. It seems the problem is not with Thinsulate itself but with how it was used here. The touchscreen capability sounds interesting, but in practice, it's useless – you can barely swipe to answer a call, but forget about entering a PIN or doing anything else. In summary, these gloves don't keep you warm at all, which is crucial for me when it comes to winter gloves. I don't recommend them for going out in frost or wind – maybe they'd work for running or other activities, but I don't know.

Nice, light, and warm gloves. So far I've tested them at least down to -10°C while clearing snow from the car, and they work great! Comfortable and well-fitted, the size is accurate. A big plus for the waterproof layer on the inside of the gloves! As for the super ultra fast shipping from militaria.pl, I don’t even know if it makes sense to mention it—it's already standard! 😉 Gloves worth recommending—especially at this price.

Warm up to 0°C, but after that, your fingers freeze. I was looking for gloves that aren't too thick, for milder frosts, and ones that could be used with touch screens without taking them off. Below 0°C, I wore thin inner wool gloves, and they were adequately warm, and I still had sensation in them. However, even with that, at -10°C, they're too weak. The big 3M label, like on work gloves, is annoying—easy to remove though.

Disappointment. The gloves look warmer than they actually are. As someone else wrote, they are like cardboard, apart from a thin fleece lining they have absolutely nothing inside, no insulation or filling. Even though I’m not particularly sensitive to cold, after just 5 minutes in a light frost (-6°C) on a windless day, my hands start getting cold. Only at around 0°C do they provide some degree of thermal comfort. In my opinion, they shouldn’t be called winter gloves at all. It’s a pity, because they are comfortable and really nice due to the good non-slip layer inside and their build quality. The thumb is too long. I returned them. P.S. MFH gloves look identical, but (as I checked in person) have at least some filling and are definitely warmer. I’m just waiting for my size to be available.

The gloves performed very well at -10 degrees; sometimes they were a little cold, but they did not let any moisture through, which was my main concern. It was possible to handle weapons in them without any problem, although I miss a bigger loop for attaching, for example, to a carabiner.

Bought as emergency gear for the car because winter came and I had to clear the snow. They work, meaning I didn't get cold while clearing the snow and scraping. They didn't get wet. They're also fine for short walks to the store—last night it was -10°C with a very unpleasant wind. My hands didn't freeze during the fifteen-minute trip. I think they would be fine for longer trips too.

Comfortable and warm gloves even in several degrees of frost. For higher temperatures, you can use something thinner underneath. They served me well during this period, but after 2 years, the material on the gripping side of the gloves started to tear and come apart. I think this is due to tasks that require hand movement, like driving a vehicle. Overall, a good option for winter with a lower rating for the grip material of the gloves. I bought the gloves in December 2023.

I bought the gloves in black, I wasn't sure if they would be good but I wasn't disappointed. They're great for cold days, the size fits perfectly with no problems, and I'm even considering buying a second pair for work purposes.

Hm, I was looking for work gloves for the forest. I wanted freedom of movement, warmth, and the ability to wear them out without losing functionality. I used them for two trips to the forest at night in winter. I felt like I could do most things with them, but the warmth is a bit lacking. I'll add some thin liners underneath and it should be fine.
-
Very well-made gloves, tools are easy to hold in them while working in the forest, and when combined with thinner gloves, they provide perfect warmth even at very low temperatures.
-
I bought the gloves for cycling on cold (at most mildly below zero) and often rainy days. I ride daily around the city for distances up to a dozen kilometers. The gloves work excellently. They are warm enough, comfortable, and do not soak through during autumn-winter drizzle or light rain. The workmanship itself is very decent.
-
They give a very flimsy impression, because you wonder where the filling is, since they are completely flat (if you've skied before, you know what winter gloves should look like :)) and a bit cardboard-like. However, they do provide some warmth, although honestly, I have no idea how, and they are quite comfortable. In terms of size, looking at the chart, I chose an 'L' and thought they would be quite a bit bigger since I have small bones and hands, but they fit just right—I’d say thin fleece gloves could be squeezed inside. Unfortunately, leather gloves don’t work well in the freeze because the leather gets really cold, and your fingertips turn into icicles. I hope these will work as outer gloves in severe cold and on their own at around 0°C.
