Versaliner Sensor Glove - Men's

Nice but not in cold conditions

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I got these as an option for hiking in temps ranging from 20-30 degrees, especially when a breeze can make things feel much colder. In the first use (22 degrees at trailhead) I swapped them out for a different glove 30 minutes in. They do well in mid 30's and up but below that, the fingers just get cold. Otherwise they are comfortable, the shell works well in wind (I've not tested in wet weather), and the grip palm is a useful feature.

Great cool weather/early winter glove

I like them, nice for the early winter or when it's not below -10c The Pertex® Shield™ shell fits nicely in the top of the glove for when you need it for precipitation or to block the wind. I also really like the palm grips!

Thinner than what I was expecting. It’s an inner and outer glove kit. Inner is the insulation and outer is the water proofing. I wear a large in gloves. Got this ones in large but run on the small side. Feels like a glove to be used in the mid 20 to mid 30 degree temp.

Really like the concept of these gloves. The liner on its own with the ability to use electronic devices while wearing the glove is great. Then to have the additional outer sleeve that is wind and waterproof and yet easy to store on yourself makes it a great combo for any cool or inclement weather outdoor activity.

Warm and thin

Easy to use with devices. Sometimes find liners to be difficult to use with my smart phone, but these are great!

Great light gloves.

Overall these are some really versatile gloves. First couple of times I wore them I did not use the outer wind/water covers. It was probably in the upper 30’s and they kept my hands warm. Not super toasty but definitely better than I expected due to how thin they are. I really like how grippy they are and they are very stretchy. It finally got cold enough, low 20’s to truly test them while walking the dogs. Definitely needed the wind/water “outer glove” which fit well over the others. Plus they really work! They did a great job blocking the wind and a light rain. Again, they kept my hands warm for a mile walk. Only downside is that the outer gloves are slick (not grippy) making it difficult to pick up some things. The fact that you can fold up and store the outer gloves in the inner gloves is super convenient and actually adds a bit more wind blocking and heat retention to the backs of your hands. Keep in mind these are “light duty” gloves - walking, driving, to and from work. Not sure I would use these to shovel snow or go skiing.

Great Gloves!

This glove performs great in snow and cold weather. This is my go-to glove in alpine climates.

Excellent

Excellent gloves and customer service by OR staff.

Great for transitioning Winter

I've recently added the Outdoor Research Men's Versaliner Sensor Gloves to my gear repertoire; folks, these gloves are like a Swiss Army knife for your hands. Designed for those brisk New England days-when it's just cold enough to remind you winter's always lurking-these gloves keep your digits toasty without going full Arctic expedition mode. One of the standout features of these gloves is their smartphone compatibility. No more struggling to use your phone with frozen fingers. These gloves fit snugly, allowing you to use your phone without removing them, a game-changer for modern hikers who need to snap a pic or check the map app on the go. The gloves also come with a waterproof cover, a lifesaver when the weather takes a turn for the worse. These covers can be easily slipped over the gloves or used on their own, ensuring your hands stay dry and comfortable even in the wettest conditions. If you're roaming the great outdoors and need a trusty companion for your hands that can multitask as well as you do, these Versaliner gloves are a solid bet. Thumbs up to Outdoor Research-a brand that has been around for awhile, and consistently delivers high-quality outdoor gear that gets us nature nuts.

Great glove

Love having the waterproof and warmth. These are great for the sunny days after it has snowed and I can shovel, hike or do whatever when it's not too cold but you want to keep your hands dry and dexterous while keeping them warm.
