Icebreaker

Sierra Glove

Please cover more of the palm & fingers w/better suede

I love the RealFleece inside. But When I buy gloves like this, supposedly with grippiness, I want gloves that actually DO have good gripping power in wet or dry conditions! I want to be able to grab a wet ski pole or a snowy cup and have it actually grip well. These don't have enough grip and the grip does not cover enough of the palm. The grip fabric also needs to *extend to fingers and thumb*!!! What's the point of putting any grip on the gloves if it doesn't work?!?!

Hoped to be warmer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hoping these gloves were going to keep my hand warm while biking during the winter, but they are more like liners to wear under another pair of gloves in case of really cold temperature. The fit is perfect and the quality as well.

great gloves

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] usually, even size XSl is too large for me. this one fits! like a "glove"

Thumb strangely long

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

The pair I ordered had a thumb which was as long as the longest fingers. The rest of my fingers fit but the thumb sleeve was absurdly long. I have normal shaped hands.

Pills and Rips Easily

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I didn't believe the reviews that indicated rips at seams and small holes appearing. Icebreaker makes the best wool stuff around. I use these gloves simply to keep my hands warm on outdoors runs. It's still cold here and I'm still wearing these gloves. Three months and a wash or two later, these things look like they are two years old: pilled everywhere and a hole between the fingers. Will be starting a warranty claim. Terrible use of good money.

Fragile indeed

I received these gloves three months ago. They aren?t warm enough for cold Colorado nights. But, I like that they are slim enough to function as liners under my ski gloves. I was shocked when I put them on today and discovered holes in two finger tips. As liners, they aren?t exposed to anything, and my nails are short, so I don?t know how two holes could have developed with such little use. Money wasted.

Really warm & thin, but fragile

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Great dexterity with these and perfect weight for cool weather biking, though the palms and fingers have only light grip. The only problem is that a hole tore along a seam near my palm only a month of using them. Maybe I put too much stress on them from stretching the fingers to reach the brakes on my drop bars.
