Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Warmth
Estimate from maker's specs: insulated glove 7/10How warm they keep your hands at camp and on the move. 7: Better than most.
Estimate from maker's specs
Weight
From maker's figures 6/10How much they add to your pack. 6: A bit better than average.
110 g for the pair, Montane's figure (size not stated; Montane's US page agrees; Workwear Express repeats 110 g): the 110-179 g band, exactly at its lower edge (the band above starts under 110 g). Cotswold and Snow+Rock list 115 g for the older 'Duality Waterproof' glove (different product code and barcode), which is in the same band.
Waterproofing
From maker's figures 10/10How well they keep your hands dry and the wind out, from how they are made. 10: The best you can buy for this.
Montane lists a 'GORE-TEX glove insert, durably waterproof, windproof and breathable', and its materials table lists the waterproof insert as its own layer, under a softshell outer with a PFC/PFAS-free water-repellent finish. A named GORE-TEX membrane with no published mm figure is the top waterproofing band (a sealed insert from a named membrane maker). Montane doesn't use the words 'seam-sealed'; the score rests on the named GORE-TEX insert.
What reviewers say (out of 10)
Ratings marked * are from reviews and are not part of the trip score. They are reviewers' scores, not our own measurements. How we score
Dexterity*
Estimate: only 1 review about dexterity (fewer than the 3 we need, so never above 8) 8/10How easily you can work zips, buckles and a phone with them on.
1 review on dexterity, e.g. "the gloves still feel flexible and easy to use without compromising on dexterity".
Durability*
Estimate: only 1 review about durability (fewer than the 3 we need, so never above 8) 8/10How well the palms, seams and fingertips hold up over seasons of use.
1 review on durability, e.g. "The brushed tricot fabric is incredibly soft and durable".
