5/ 5
The glove woked well for 'spring' skiing here in New England. Temps used ranged from 35-50 F. The only complaint is that the glove is not water resistant. Otherwise a very good product.
I would recommend this product.

Gloves are generally disappointing. They are good for taking the chill off your finger on a cold day but do not keep your fingers and hands warm. If the wind is blowing you can feel it on the tops of your hands/gloves which I was shocked for being a MH product, I guess I expected more. The final straw for these gloves is that the stitching started coming apart on one of the fingers I have only had the gloves for a month and just use them for waking to and from my car going to work. I hate to guess how long they will last when I start using them out in the field. These gloves should not be listed in the Alpine category and should be listed in the lightweight section. Not worth the $50!

These gloves have just the right amount of insolation to keep my hand warm and protected. they seem to be very durable and well made. I highly recommend this Torsion glove.

Great fit! I bought this glove because it is a great mid-weight glove that is wind-proof and water resistant.

Fit was just right. Snug but not tight. Love that I can "feel" to pick small things up or easily grab zipper pulls / hood cord locks. Leather palm and index should be much more durable than past fleece gloves. Sheds wind and light rain with no problem. Wear these every day.

These gloves are sick!! I used these on a recent ice climbing trip in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and they performed amazingly well. They are surprisingly warm for how thin they are, have excellent grip and shed water like a champ (not waterproof). All in all these are great gloves.

I used these for skiing in mid-30 degree temps and they were warm and comfy. The material is light but strong and provides excellent dexterity.

a very nice form fitting glove. Great feel with ice tools and axes, ropes and biners. warm as long as your active, they are not insulated to any degree. durable enough for rock and rappels, good stuff!

I bought this glove for snow hiking but have used it for many different things. Cold weather mountain biking, backcountry and resort skiing, backpacking, even trail work. The palm does not bunch up when holding a tool / pole grip / handlebar which I really like and the softshell on the back does a great job blocking wind and rain. Great glove for any cool weather activity that requires good grip.
