Columbia Men's Bugaboo Interchange Gloves

I really wanted to love these, I don't. They're just gloves. According to Columbia's size chart I should order a medium. I've never ordered medium gloves in my life so I chose large - can't even get them on my hands. Thankfully amazon prime rocks so a quick exchange landed me with an XL. The XL gloves fit only just so. The liners fit and feel great, the shell is ok but I can't wear both together - it doesn't fit. The gloves themselves had a a huge seam at the thumb and if you're thinking about gripping a snow shovel, ski pole or bike handlebar it is very obvious and not comfortable on the thumb muscle in your palm. During the recent cold snap I spend an afternoon in the gloves while it was 18-20f with about 5mph wind, my fingers were cold, not frozen or day ending but certainly not comfortable. The gauntlets are only just enough to get over your coat cuffs. Overall these don't hold a candle to my Kombi lobster claw gauntlets. Those fit right, have comfortable liners, come way up my forearm and are warm down to 0F. They cost twice as much and are 5x better.

Pros- Nice and warm. Also very waterproof.- Comes with a nice fitting liner for colder conditions and when you need to perform more delicate tasks- Lanyard ensures the gloves don't fall off on the lift- Pull string to tighten is much easier than a velcro- Gloves are still comfortable without the linerCons- After 4 days of snowboarding, I'm starting to see rips and threading on the fiber- The touchscreen compatible liner simply has a little bit of material on 2 fingers. It's very inaccurate and awkward when using them to work a phone. Forget attempting to type

5' 7", 180 lbs. I wear a size Lg glove, ordered the XL after reading the other Amazon reviews and I'm glad I did. I debated giving the gloves 4 stars due to this but I'm happy so I went with the 5. Great gloves! I went skiing last weekend with wind chill at -12'F and I was doing fine without hand warmers. I've really only owned gloved in the $20-30 bracket prior to these but they are by far the best and don't feel they are overpriced.

These gloves work incredibly well, when you are being active. I don't mean running a marathon, but just moving around is enough. However, because Omni-Heat is meant to reflect your body heat, using the inner layer kind of defeats the purpose. While wearing both pairs in 10 degree F weather, my fingers got very cold. I took off the inner layer and my hands warmed right up.I purchased these for motorcycle riding and working in snow. These ARE NOT better than any other water resistance glove I have used in the past for motorcycle riding. The problem is, when riding a motorcycle, you are not moving, so your body doesn't produce enough heat for the gloves to work. If you want these for motorcycle riding in weather under 30 degrees F, I recommend electric heated gloves. Especially ones with a self contained rechargeable batteries.For working in the snow/Skiing/Sledding, these gloves work great!The water resistance works great, I ran mine under the faucet and the water just beaded up and rolled off.

First, I purchased the large. After determining those were too small I ordered the X-Large. The inner glove fits.....like a glove. However, the outer glove is very tight and kind of uncomfortable.I was headed to Colorado and didn't have time to try my order again. I had to use the gloves. I've been using the inner gloves almost every day. I like the material that allows me to use my iPhone with the gloves. I haven't used the outer gloves since Colorado.

Just too small. I'm a large men's glove and I have an old pair of Columbia gloves with liners that I've worn for years. These were too narrow and too short in the fingers for my hands. My wife, who is a women's medium, thought that they were just a tad big for her, but she wouldn't have wanted smaller.Too bad because I like Columbia a lot and I like the idea of the reflective material and touch-sensitive inner. I'm not even going to try the x-l, sadly.

They're okay until you get into the single digits then your hands get a bit chilly. The sizing is weird. The internal gloves were too big and the outter glove was a tad small. If they can hold up well in 30 degree rain/sleet come football season, I'll be happy with them. Will try to update.

Oh my, do I ever love these gloves. The ability to wear them with or without the included liners, or even just the liners themselves, reminds me so much of the options I have with my Columbia Bugaboo jacket with the removable liner/inner jacket. My one minor issue is that there doesn't seem to be a way to tether the liners to the gloves so they don't get separated in our glove drawer, but I guess it works almost as well just to put the liners back in the gloves for storage.
