Mountain MadeCold Weather Genesis Gloves for Men and Women

First, I will say I am slightly disappointed that the gloves I purchased are made in China. (from what I found after some research) But I completely understand why - as the labor cost overseas, even when considering the additional cost of freight to the US are far less than overhead and labor costs required to manufacturer in the US - so the reasoning isn't lost on me.I'll start with the few negative observations, again based on real usage multiple times daily.- Sizing, the size chart is slightly off based on my measurements vs the particular pair of gloves I received, a size larger would have been better but a snug glove is fine with me.- Warmth; they start to lose some effectiveness as temperatures go lower than 35°F or 40°f with a breeze. They just aren't suitable for long exposure to temperatures (+wind) much lower that that.- Grip: they could use a more aggressive palm/finger texture in my humble opinion.- Capacitance; while they do work on my devices, the capacitive fabric is stiff, maybe due to being new, but it currently requires an unnatural finger position to get proper contact.- Insulation; there is a very noticeable lack of it between the fingers at the webbing of the hand. A small breeze can be felt easily at any temp and I suspect that has a lot to do with the lack of heat retention at lower temps.Those points aside I am very happy with them:They are stylish (though color choices would be nice).They are very comfortable.They are lightweight and warm for their weight.They do very well in light rain.They have the best in brand zippers.They are agile, tactile and dexterous enough to handle small items without having to remove them.Even though above I mentioned one issue is warmth, it should be noted that because they are not bulky and form to your hands nicely, they allow you to easily put your hands in coat pockets and the gloves warm up quickly.There are no perfect gloves to use for every occasion or every task, but these gloves are suitable for most moderately cool/cold weather activities, they are my go-to pair for just about everything outdoors.In fact, I may purchase a pair two sizes larger to use with glove liners for those colder days outdoors and our family's nightly walks.For me, these are almost perfect.

Wow you got me good. Researched a bunch of different gloves and I was excited to find a pair that were made in USA.Yeah they do work fine but I was super disappointed to find the made in china tag especially after watching the video of the guy making is sound like there made in the mountains of Colorado. Im not sure what loophole they had to jump through but it just another example of misleading the consumer.

They're warm and the nonskid grips the steering wheel well

Just received my Cold Weather Genesis gloves from Mountain Made and I'm a little blown away. Great quality and perfect weight for my late Winter/early Spring riding. Keeps dexterity with my fingers while being cozy and warm...wish I would've ordered these sooner!

Design and Material Ok, but still not warm enough. -10°C doesn't help at all, hand cold as ice. Isn't supposed to be made for mountain? Or maybe not for cold mountain.

I bought these for cycling in about 40 degree weather, but they've ended up going pretty much everywhere with me.Pros:I have long, skinny female hands, I'd usually avoid women's sizes and wear a mens medium in Tool Handz brand and the medium in these fit....like a glove. No, seriously, they may as well have been custom made for me.There is enough air flow to allow excess heat to radiate away (and I suffer from "stink glove") so it's really important my hands aren't stewing in their own sweat. Somehow, moisture doesn't stick around in these, they air dried nicely after a rain shower.They're wind resistant enough that the wind chill while cycling doesn't bother me.They are very grippy for the dog's leash, my handlebars, water bottle, phone etc. The work just fine with touchscreen phones, though that's not a selling point for me.A HUGE pro for these gloves is the fact the zippers are large so one may unzip themselves from the glove without fumbling for an itty bitty zipper. And the zippers are pretty heavy duty. AND there's a flag of breathable material under the zipper opening to increase air flow when I overheat.They allow a surprising range of movement even though they don't feel super flexible: I can comfortably write while wearing the gloves with no change to my handwriting.They are not for extensive hard wear--like, I'm not going to dig a hole for 6 hours wearing them, use your work gloves for that. They are perfect for general use when you need dexterity, range of movement, comfort, and protection form elements. The knuckles and joints are not reinforced, that's why they're so light, so I do take a little extra care of these versus my crummy motorcycle gloves.Not overbranded. There is a tiny rubber logo tag on either side of the zipper, and a subtle (but very nice) logo on the wrist of the left glove.Cons:I haven't found any yet--except they attract dog hair like no-one's business, the dogs love getting petted by the grippy material.
