❄️ Columbia Whirlibird Compass X Large Gloves: Ultimate Winter Protection Review

. I bought these for ski season and after two days in the mountains I noticed that they were beginning to crumble around the edges and the seams on the edge of the cuff were unraveling. On the third day the tensioning thread broke when they were put back on. They were good for warmer days (25-30 degrees) but were useless when the temperature dropped to puberty. I have since had to buy new gloves after only having them for a week.

I like these. They kept my hands really warm and dry after hours of sledding and playing in the snow. The glove did a great job of keeping the snow off the sleeves and they have an easy-to-use drawcord that tightens them with one hand. They're ergonomically curved as if the hand were naturally resting, so there's no excess material left in your palm when you need to grab something. You are a bit small. I usually find mediums too small and larges too big. I ordered them a large size and they fit

They seem a bit small - I have "medium" hands and am medium height, they fit, just feel a little tight. They wear belts and mittens are their best part - snow no longer falls down your sleeve. Really nice for the price.

Used for 1 week skiing in France. The inside of the glove (which is used to hold the skis) was fine BUT the outside was broken. Will buy another pair for my next ski trip :( I also bought a Columbia ski jacket and skillets and they were fine.

, for one they don't keep fingers warm. Very disappointed. Second, the wrong size. All my other gloves are medium. When I ordered these medium, they were just too small. I sent them back and got size L. Better but still tight. Maybe that'll make my fingers cold. I'm sorry I spent the money. They'll just sit in a drawer and I'll go back to my old gloves. Do not worry.

I seem to have small hands. I ordered MEDIUM because it usually did the job. I could hardly put them on my hands! I gave them away to avoid the hassle of returning them. The company does a poor job of sizing and/or explaining the size. The reviews didn't help so I hope mine help anyone considering them. The appearance is cool and they "appear" warm. Stylish yes. Expensive, yes. If you are a man with normal sized hands, unless you can buy XL or XXL, forget about these gloves.

A normal big glove is fine for me, it's easy. Came onto the slopes and didn't fit, would and felt uncomfortable but I had no choice but to wear it. With wet hands this is even difficult due to the insulating fabric with inner lining. Must be adjusted before the ski trip.

I bought them in size XL. I usually wear a large size so after reading the reviews I went up a size. The left glove fits like a second skin. The right one wasn't properly seeded inside, so I couldn't even get my hands on it. I'll send them back and keep you posted. I just printed the return label and will ship it soon.

Columbia Omniheat Highly Recommended! We bought it in a set with the gray and white Columbia Whirlibird Interchange men's jacket.
