Review on 🧤 Warmth and Style Combined: Introducing Heritage Gloves Extreme Winter Black by Liz Walker

Revainrating 4 out of 5

hope for the best. In terms of size and fit

A lot has already been said so I'm just trying to add what I can. These gloves feature Thinsulate technology to keep hands warm. that's mostly run-of-the-mill - they don't offer much extra warmth compared to other regular winter gloves. I bought them mainly because of their available sizes. There are many reports of increasing or decreasing the size; However, I think many people may not know what to expect in terms of the gloves fitting properly. I have found that they are true to size. I'm a small handed man - size 8 when it comes to well fitting leather gloves. It's snug enough to allow skin to stretch a bit after a few uses to conform to hands and fingers; not so tight that I can't get all my fingers through. I also bought these heritage gloves in a size 8 hoping for the best. Size and fit worked for me. They were tight when I first put them on. Now after wearing them for a few weeks they have stretched enough that I can put them on with ease. They feel safe in my arms and I have good mobility with them. Department store gloves only come in small, medium, large, and possibly extra large. On the rare occasions that I can find a small pair, the fingers still might not fit as well as I would like. These gloves enclose the fingers well. Most other gloves I've had in the past have had room in the fingers and that's enough to make them a little less dexterous or a little less warm. Your mileage may vary as the arms are not all proportionally the same. It's been pretty cold for teenagers in Boston for the past few weeks. They keep my hands warm for 15-20 minutes while waiting outside for the train or walking home. After 20 minutes I feel like my hands are getting a little cold. but certainly not cold. I wear a suit to work and used to think I needed some trendy black leather gloves to match my coat. A little older and wiser, I now prefer function to form. They are definitely warmer than leather gloves. They also don't look like the bulky Columbia or Northface winter gloves. I also used them while working with a snow blower and shoveling during the 2015 Juno blizzard. I never noticed coldness in my hands despite being outside for 3 hours. That probably has a lot to do with you being out and building up enough heat to stay warm. They didn't get wet on the outside, but rather soaked from the sweat on my hands - not unusual for a pair of gloves. I noticed that they need time to dry. I actually wore them wet a couple of times before going out but other than that they were pretty comfortable. Would I buy them again? Probably no. I would like to try something different. I don't regret buying them at all. I would just like to see what else is out there. Although I don't think it will be very soon.

Pros
  • Cold weather gloves
Cons
  • There are nuances
