Review on 🧤 Castle X Epic-G1 Men's Snowmobile Gloves - Gray, Large by Richard Basque

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Insulation mass confusion

The Epic glove just arrived today. I haven't had a chance to wear them yet. They look great with big long cuffs that I can wear over my jacket sleeve. Slightly lighter and thinner than I expected. It's 35 degrees here now and this morning it was 19. I'll use them every day during the cold season when I ride my motorbike to work. The description of the gloves states that they have 200 grams of Thinsulate on the upper arm and 150 grams on the palm. But the 3M tag that came with them says they weigh between 60 and 140 grams. So what is it? I'm only giving two stars at the moment until I see how warm they are and then guess which label is telling the truth. See photos. I will update the review after wearing it to work on Monday when temperatures are expected to be 14 degrees. I wore them on the bike in 22 degree weather and didn't feel cold at all. I had my bike glove pads under my gloves but I haven't worn them with any other gloves this cold season so I'm happy and WARM with the Epic gloves. and control lever. The large alligators fit snugly over my leather cuffs and don't let air through.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • There are nuances
