Gordini Men's Men's Gore-tex Storm Trooper Ii Waterproof Insulated Gloves cold-weather-gloves (pack of 1)

Product Information

A stand-out difference between the Mercury Mitt and the rest is the puffy full mitten liner that is also removable. The Mercury's all-around awesome performance, both in the liner and its construction, wins it our top honors. Warmth: Gloves

The only place I’ve noticed any points of failure is the zippered handwarmer pouch. This was only after an entire day of skiing in the rain- but a point of failure nonetheless. For fair-weather riders or for those of us who don’t ski in the alpine equivalent of swamplands- the Storm Trooper II should be more than enough to keep you warm and dry most days of the season. Durability and Materials We’ve tried and tested quite a few budget gloves over the years. While each has its merits, they always seem to come with caveats that make them more niche options. I think that the Storm Trooper II is the most well-rounded out of all the gloves I’ve tested in its price range. Aside from warmth, waterproofness is the second major factor that can make or break your days on the slopes. And not only does your glove need to keep snow from entering, it needs to let perspiration out from the inside. Not that these gloves fell apart, but we found that these were among the least durable gloves we tested. This glove showed wear on the seams around the fingers, and we even discovered several small cuts on the insides of multiple fingers simply from handling ski edges. When compared to other similarly priced gloves in our review, the Titan offered decent durability but wasn't quite as tough. Should You Buy the Dakine Titan?The Storm Trooper II is a glove that does exactly what it sets out to do. It’s a budget option fully loaded with a plethora of non-budget traits. You get excellent comfort, tight seams, and reliable water resistance without breaking the bank. They are also durable enough to last for years without showing any wear or tear. If you haven’t heard, Gore-Tex is one of the outdoor industry’s favorite materials for balancing waterproofing with breathability. I’ve noticed that the inserts, in this case, make a big difference on wet and windy days.

It’s worth noting that relying on your hand circumference isn’t a foolproof process, as the sizing doesn’t account for finger length, so it’s always ideal to try them on before purchasing. But if you need to buy online or just prefer the convenience, following the manufacturer-specific fit guidelines (avoid generic charts) and buying from a reputable ski retailer with a good return policy is a smart way to go. It's best to try ski gloves on before buying if possible Additional Ski Glove Features This toasty mitt keeps fingers extremely warm and dry with a waterproof and breathable exterior and lofty insulated removable linerNylon and leather are a classic combination used in nearly every top-performing glove I’ve ever tested. The moisture-resistant properties of a nylon shell, along with its comparative resistance to tears and snags, make it an ideal textile choice for a harsh alpine environment. On Glisshop.co.uk, we have so many gloves available that if you don’t know exactly what you want, you will probably hesitate with several models. If you look for something light that you can use every day and that you will also use for your ski holidays when the weather is nice, a basic pair of gloves should make you happy. You won’t spend too much money and it will keep your hands warm enough.

You won’t find a more beautiful ski glove than the Hestra Fall Line 3-Finger. This all-leather, undercuff design with exposed stitching is a work of art. It’s a great tribute to Hestra’s long history of glove making, and in addition to skiing, the Fall Line 3-Finger and standard glove model are among our favorite options for everyday wear and work in the winter. It’s true that the Fall Line isn’t for everyone as warmth and water resistance fall noticeably short of the Oyuki Pep above (it’s best for mild days or those working up some heat), but you won’t find a better-made mitt. Period.

I’ve been hitting the slopes since I was a kid. I enjoy getting out in the snow and have hands-on experience with a wide range of different skiing items. I have spent ample time researching these gloves and know multiple skiers who have worn them. Detailed Review of Gordini GTX Storm Trooper II While we found the dexterity of the Prevail Heated Gore-Tex Gloves to be okay, they can't compete with some of the non-heated models when it comes time to use your fingers for certain tasks. As a unisex model, the fit may not be as dialed for the female hand, and we'd definitely recommend referencing the size chart before buying. Despite the fact that they are less expensive than other heated models, they are still far more expensive than non-heated options. That said, if you ski where it's super cold or have constantly cold hands, they could be the solution you've been looking for. For me, the stand out trait here is the Storm Trooper ii’s value. In today’s ski world, saving money is not that easy. Being able to get a pair of warm, reliable gloves at an affordable price is amazing. You don’t even need to be on a budget to appreciate these. They have many features that skiers of all levels will love. There are longer, more elastic leashes out there, but the Storm Trooper II is more than adequate for daily usage. I’ve never found a reason to take them off- but it’s nice to know that you can if the need should arise. Who’s it for? These technical gloves are equipped to handle the most severe weather without compromising dexterity
