Deviator Pro Glove delivers breathable, insulated performance with low-bulk dexterity for cold-weather pursuits
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I use the Deviator Pro Gloves on fast-paced ski tours and winter trail runs. They’re super warm for how light they are, and the merino-lined palm feels awesome. The goat leather adds solid grip, and I don’t have to take them off to check my phone or GPS."
Whether we’re climbing through icy switchbacks or dropping into a chilly descent, the Outdoor Research Deviator Pro Gloves give us the warmth and dexterity we need without the bulk. Designed for high-output cold-weather adventures, these gloves use a strategic insulation package—XReflex™ at the back of the hand reflects heat, while Y-Warm compression insulation and merino wool fleece at the palm provide warmth where we need it most.
Built for breathability and movement, the softshell construction features bluesign® approved materials with stretch that mirrors every motion. A water-resistant goat leather palm reinforced with textured overlays ensures reliable grip and durability, even when handling poles or tools. Touchscreen compatibility, a secure hook-and-loop closure, and removable wrist leashes round out the performance-focused design. The Deviator Pro Gloves are the perfect choice when warmth, precision, and speed all matter.

Don't Expect Warmth From These Gloves
Very disappointed in these; below freezing hands get cold very quickly. I purchsed them expecting the best from OR; not so much. A couple of glove liner pairs necessary for them to function in cold, not just cool weather. I would return them if I could.

These gloves are well made but they don't keep my hands very warm. I also like my glove/mitten cuffs over my jacket sleeves and these cuffs aren't great for that.

Too small
I love OR Gear, but I returned these same gloves for the same reason as the other review. Too small, and I ordered an XL.

Small
Warm, but fit super small. I have large hands and am barely squeezingpast the wrists. Palms are small,fingers are narrow and short. Not buying these again.

Nice gloves but small-ish
These gloves run small, I guess. I normally fit a large just fine, but these are a bit tight across the palm. I find that gloves with leather palms tend to shrink over time (leather shrinks when it dries), so I definitely don't want them to start out small. Otherwise, they look like nice gloves.

Great lightweight warmth
I bought these as a backcountry ski, warm ski, cold weather running glove. They fit great and are low profile. They are also surprisingly warm for how thin they are. I've been a big fan of my limited use so far but definitely recommend them for anyone looking for some fast and light but warm gloves.

Not made for warmth
Honestly, I was disappointed in these gloves. I used them once while on a military exercise and had to switch them out for my leather, insulated pair. Despite their rating, I found that they weren't made for keeping hands warm at all, even if it was only -5 C. I just don't mess around when it's winter in Canada. Perhaps when you're constantly active they're better, but there are times when we're waiting around outside or more static. I also found the orange wrist leash annoying, but at least it's removeable.
