Heritage Gloves Extreme Winter Glove

Nice winter gloves
Lets get this out of the way, I have never ridden a horse. So if you are looking for opinions about using these gloves for their intended purpose of horseback riding then skip to the next review.I was looking for some nice warm winter gloves that still left me with the dexterity to say, put my cell phone in my pocket without taking the gloves off. These gloves fit the bill. They are very warm but still flexible enough to be able to use my fingers pretty well. They also seem to be extremely durable as I imagine they would have to be to use them horseback riding.I think the stretchy warm cuff of the glove that snugly fits your wrist has a lot to do with the warmth of these gloves as it seems to be pretty effective at trapping the heat in there.They seem to be pretty water resistant. As a test I put them under my kitchen faucet and the water mostly just beaded off the glove.Pros:-Warm-Good dexterity for the size of glove-Kind of nice and a little high tech looking-Pretty water resistantCons:-A little pricey-Don't have that nifty feature where you can use a cell phone touch screen with them on (not that I would fault them for not having that being that as far as I know horses aren't generally equipped with touch screen displays). I'm thinking of ordering some of that conductive thread and sewing it in to the fingers to make these touch screen compatible.Side note: There is an older version of this glove out there with the same name and description. You can tell it's the older version based on the photos of the glove (they look somewhat different). The reviews that I read for the older one were fairly bad and they don't look as nice aesthetically so if you order the gloves somewhere just make sure the photo shows the new ones. You can see the new ones for reference on the manufacturers website.

Best gloves I've ever purchased, and I've bought many before
Exactly what the description says. It's water proof and fits perfectly. I am 6'4" tall and skinny with long fingers and most gloves are either not long enough or too wide, but this one fits perfect in between fingers and in the wrist. It does come with a zipper on top in the event you want to buy hand warmers and insert them in. I personally never had to. The fingers are all very cozy and warm inside no matter how cold it is outside. Also, if I left the gloves in the car overnight in freezing temperatures, I could still wear them and they only take a couple of mins to warm up. Most other gloves make your hand colder after leaving them in the cold overnight, but these gloves are just perfect. Also, I carry musical instruments around and I also moved to another state during the winter and these gloves proved to be heavy-duty indeed. They never broke or scratched, they helped me carry everything just perfect. Best gloves I've ever purchased and I would totally buy them again. I wish I had known of these gloves sooner. Highly recommended.

hoping for the best. In terms of size and fit
A lot has already been said, so I'll just try to add what I can.These gloves utilize Thinsulate technology to keep your hands warm... which is basically run of the mill - they do not provide much extra warmth from any other common winter glove.I bought these basically for their available sizes. There's a lot of feedback regarding sizing up or down; however, I think a lot of people might not know what to expect in terms of proper fit of gloves. I found these to be true to size.I'm male with small hands - size 8 when it comes to properly fitting leather gloves. That is tight enough to let the leather stretch a bit to form fit the hands and fingers after a few uses; not so tight that I'm not able to get all my fingers in. I bought these Heritage gloves also in size 8, hoping for the best. In terms of size and fit, I got the best. They were tight the first time I put them on. Now, after wearing them for a couple of weeks, they've stretched enough that I don't have a problem slipping them on.They feel secure on my hands and I have good mobility with them. Department store gloves come only in Small, Medium, Large and maybe Extra Large. On the rare occurrence that I can find a small pair, the fingers may still not fit as well as I would like. These gloves wrap the fingers well. With most other gloves I've owned in the past, there's some space in the fingers and that's enough to either make them a little less maneuverable or a little less warm. Your mileage may vary because hands are not all proportionally the same.It's been fairly cold in the teens these past few weeks in Boston. These have kept my hands warm for the 15-20 minutes I'm outside waiting for the commuter rail or walking home. After 20 minutes, I feel my hands grow a bit colder... but definitely not freezing cold. I wear a suit to work and I used to think I needed fashionable black leather gloves to go with my top coat. A bit older and wiser, I now opt for function over form. These are definitely warmer than leather gloves. They also don't look like bulky winter gloves that Columbia or Northface make.I also used these when operating the snow blower and shoveling during the 2015 Juno blizzard. I never noticed the cold in my hands despite being outside for 3 hours. This is probably largely due to being on the move and building up enough body heat to stay warm. They did not get wet from the outside, but rather got wet from the sweat my hands built up - this is not uncommon with any pair of gloves. I did notice that they take a while to dry out. I actually did put them on wet before going out a couple of occasions, but they were otherwise pretty comfortable.Would I buy these again? Probably not... would like to try something else. I don't regret buying these at all. I'd just like to see what else is out there. I don't think it will be very soon, though.

Nice water resistant winter gloves
The gloves I ordered from Amazon were sized incorrectly, and I had to return them. However, I have an old pair of these gloves and I love them. They are thick and bulky, so I used them more for barn chores than for riding, and they kept my hands warm and dry. They lasted a long time, and I'm still using them, even though they are now holey and not waterproof. That's why I wanted to replace them. I was really bummed when they were too tight. I didn't use the touch screen fingertips because when I'm working, I'm not using phone much, and I automatically take a glove off if I do need to touch a screen. If you can get your correct size, you'll like these gloves!

Excellent
I know some have said they're not great in very cold weather but we've had 0 degrees and my wife has 'complained' her hands are too hot on a 1 hour long dog walk! She loves them, comfortable and sturdy - the gloves not my wife!

Love these - they are very warm but nice and ...
Love these - they are very warm but nice and thin - they look great and they feel great. They have great flexibility allowing for really decent dexterity for gloves of this kind.Touch screen part doesn't work on mine but I'd find it annoying to text in thicker gloves anyway. The size chart allowed me to pick the perfect fit. I would get these again for sure. Not sure about longevity but they look solidly made. They don't look exactly like the pic when I'm wearing them but in terms of gloves I think these are the closest to the picture I have seen yet.
