My Under Armor gloves have about crapped out on me. I need to upgrade. The pair I have now they don't make any more. I'd describe them some sort of soft shell material with fleece on the inside and a very grippy palm. They're about the size of the insulated Mechenix Wear gloves. I'd like something similar in size.


These 2 have caught my eye, any one have experience with them? Any other good ones to look at? Looking to spend 30ish to 60ish.

They both come in Black and Tan, so thanks for the input . The lower rated one is what I think I'm going to get. All the bad reviews were because people don't know how measure their hand.........

OR gloves tent to run a little tight, so if your hand measurement is getting close to the upper limit for a given size bracket, go up one size.  I followed OR's method of measuring both hands.  Oddly enough, some folks' hands are slightly different in size.
Both of the gloves will benefit greatly if worn underneath some sort of windproof/waterproof shell.

DO make an effort to shop around.

I always do.  I just like using the manufacturers website for research. With points I can get them for 45 bucks through Tactical Distributors.

How cold, and what do you want them to do? Shooting gloves?

I live in Alaska, do a fair amount of shooting outdoors down to about 0 degrees.

I have the Coldshot gloves. They really shine in 30-50 degree weather, depending on how warm your hands are (mine tend to stay pretty warm). Yes it says good down to 20, but not a chance, they don't really have any insulation in them. For above 50, I run OR Overlords.

From 0 - 30 I run their Super Coulior Liner. They aren't waterproof, but it really doesn't matter at those temperatures. Great glove, great dexterity, works great pistol and rifle. Now, below about 15 degrees, these gloves still aren't warm enough for full time use, but they will work great to run a few strings of fire. Below about 15 I run the OR Firebrand, but switch to the Coulior to shoot, or take off the shell and use the liner.

Thanks for this. Our winter temps usually go from the teens to the 30's in a day. Every now and then it'll hit single digits, but not too often. I like the thinner profile gloves for conceal carry and being able to shoot if need be. I shoot mostly indoors during the winter, but I'll still shoot with these gloves on to get used to them. I'm not outdoors too much during the winter, and if they're insulated like my last pair (not very much at all) I think I'll be just fine.

I have the Sensor gloves OP linked to... I don't use them for anything weapons related because they do not have the tactile feel necessary. The combo of the liner and pile insulation is too thick. Fat fingers too for a pistol trigger guard. YMMV.

I do use the OR Stormtrackers - https://www.outdoorresearch.com/en/mens-stormtracker-sensor-gloves.html
I can feel Glock trigger reset most of the time and works great with AR sized trigger guards. I am wearing these tonight for negative 5 Fahrenheit driving around town. They are not snow shoveling gloves below 25 degrees as really limited insulation, but solid wind blockers and moderate heat holding. Not waterproof but shed water in rain and snow. Leather palms give really good grip.

Totally agree with your plan to do some shooting in them. Absolutely necessary to be prepared. And OR is the right brand to be looking at...

I saw the stormtrackers and they looked way too big to use shooting. They do look a lot warmer though. I may see if a local place has them to try.

I saw these and didn't know Camelbak even made gloves so I thought they were fake. They weren't rated very high either, so I skipped over them. I may look around and grab a pair to try out.

Well, the Coldshot's came in today and on first impressions I absolutely love them! They are A LOT warmer than my old Under Armor Gloves. Simple tasks, opening a knife, mag release slide manipulation etc are super easy and will get easier when they break in a bit. Thanks for the info yall! I may still get a pair of the Camelbak gloves to try and have an extra pair, and look into the heavier duty gloves as well.
