Burton AK Tech Gloves True Black Mens

I was looking for an warmer, more waterproof/water resistant, windproof glove than usual standard glove liners (wind goes right through them and they are not waterproof), but I also didn't want something super bulky. These Burton AK Tech Gloves are working perfectly and exactly what I needed.Fit: I tried on both a medium and a large in a retail store prior to purchasing on Amazon. Surprisingly, the fit was almost identical. I think the only real difference was in the palm width, but the large was only a hair larger. The finger lengths seemed to be the same. I ended up ordering the large and the fit is perfect for me without being constrictive. My hand circumference at the knuckles is about 8 1/4" and the length of my hands are about 7 1/2" from the base of my palm to the tip of my middle finger.Usage: I use them mainly for driving, walking around town, shoveling, clearing snow off the car, etc and they've been warm enough in the 20's. If it's below 20 degrees and you're not active, these are probably not going to be warm enough. I might end up using these as my ski gloves for spring skiing or above freezing.Under cuff: These fit under the cuffs of my ski jacket and heavier jackets very easily. These do not slide very easily under the cuffs of my Eddie Bauer downlight jacket, however I can pull the cuffs over the gloves and they stay put reasonably well.Zipper: slides easily and stays in place.Dexterity: These are not as dexterous as liner gloves, but these are still very dexterous. It is very easy to open zippers, grab a phone out of your pocket, and do some navigating on your phone (although I think it would be hard to text).Touch screen: They seems to work pretty well on both my phone and car's touch screen. They are not perfect, but good enough for basic navigating on a phone.Water resistance: I have not had any moisture get through the gloves when taking snowy gloves into warmer temps, but I haven't tested them in wet snow or rainy conditions. They clearly state 5k/5k waterproof/breath-ability, so I do not expect them to be fully waterproof.Wind resistance: So far these have been completely wind proof.Price: At about $50, I think these are a bit expensive for what they are, especially when you can get full gore-tex Burton mittens with liners for about $50. However, these are serving the exact purpose that I needed, so I'm ok with the price. Note, it looks like they are currently $70, which I'm not sure would be worth it at that price.I also considered the Outdoor Research Storm Tracker gloves. They are very similar in sizing and offer very similar features. I checked out these Burton's and the Outdoor Research Storm Trackers side by side in the retail store, and these Burton's seem to be a little thicker and heavier, so I went for the Burton's. The Outdoor Research ones were nice though.

Fantastic gloves for when you need weather protection and still be able to have good dexterity handling a rifle or bow or any other task.

They look good, very minimal not as bulky on the hand. You can also wear a thicker glove liner underneath to make these warmer (used in 20F weather). You definitely can't fit a wrist guard under these.

One of the best gloves I ve ever own!! Used them outside and didn’t need liners at all, kept me warm through my day on the slopes. Weather was around 20-25 degrees

Runs a little big. I got a small and usually wear small gloves but this runs a little big but great quality gloves really warm here in Colorado in the winter. I should of gotten a xsmall for a tighter fit but leaves room for a glove inside if you wana do that.

Favorite glove so far. So comfy when they break in. I have used in 20° F and was fine. Easy to handle zippers and use with the touch screen phone. Looks cool too.

I love this gloves, they properly keep my hands warm, on top of that I don’t have to remove the gloves from my hands to use my phone. Definitely great!

Gloves are warm, but it makes me nervous that they are not from a burton factory because there is Chinese writing all over the tags. Also, some strap fell off during like there second use. I wish I got the leather ones also.

The material feels to be very breathable as well. Can't wait to use them when the weather gets colder.I will mainly use them for day-to-day during winter, or snowboarding during spring/warm winter days.
