Here's a few things I like about these gloves:
- Compression. There's just a little bit of compression in these gloves, which may help with blood flow to keep your hands and fingers warmer. If nothing else, it feels good slipping these one.
- Not too hot. Unlike the Burton and Smartwool mittens, my fingers typically don't overheat in these gloves. I've ran all day starting with cool temperatures in the morning to moderate temperatures in the afternoon, and kept the gloves on the entire time to help navigate stuff like slippery rocks, sticker bushes, and branches on a trail run.
- Fast drying. The stretch-fleece material dries quickly, once they're out of the rain or you make it home.
- Stuff factor. If you find your hands and fingers are starting to overheat, these are easy to stuff in a pocket or pack.
