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: fleece or softshell glove 3/10How warm they keep your hands at camp and on the move. 3: Below average. Fine for some trips, not others.
Estimate from maker's specs
Weight
From maker's figures 9/10How much they add to your pack. 9: Among the best you can buy for this.
45 g for the pair, Montane's figure (size not stated; Montane's US page agrees): the under-60 g band. John Lewis lists 42.8 g for a size M pair, in the same band.
Waterproofing
From maker's figures 2/10How well they keep your hands dry and the wind out, from how they are made. 2: A weak point.
A Thermo Grid brushed-back fleece glove. Montane makes no windproof, water-repellent or waterproof claim: the 'no claim' band for fleece and liners.
In short
Good for
- Cool, dry walks and cold mornings when you want a very light glove
- A liner under a shell or insulated mitt, which Montane suggests
- A spare pair at 45 g for the pack
- Using a phone with the gloves on
Strengths
- 45 g for the pair
- Thermo Grid fleece with a brushed back for warmth next to the skin and a stretch fit
- Pre-curved box-wall fingers, elasticated wrist and touchscreen-compatible tips
- Montane's lifetime guarantee against faults in workmanship and materials
Weaknesses
- No windproof, water-repellent or waterproof claim, and no insulation beyond the fleece: for mild cold or as a liner
- No grip print on the palm (Montane's Fury XT adds one)
- No independent review found, so our warmth, dexterity and durability scores are blank
