Mountain Hardwear Exposure Light Gore-Tex Gloves

FIT
is just right in Large. The gloves feel very soft and comfy inside.

FEATURES
The pull-on loops are large and very strong. The gloves have a “pre-curve” shape; they’re already in the shape of a hand and fit well from the get-go. The materials are first-rate: Primaloft insulation, Pittards leather, and Gore-Tex. They match the photo exactly.

BUILD QUALITY
seems very high. I have other Mountain Hardware gear, e.g., a shirt I bought over ten years ago that I liked it so much I bought a spare. I keep it in my regular rotation, and it still looks like the day I bought it. So I have high expectations for these gloves.

Labeled “Made in Vietnam.”

These are incredible gloves. They feature:

1) Pittards leather. Pittards lasts and lasts. I have gloves that are made of Pittards that are many years old and still work fine. Pittards makes its own gloves, but it also sells its leather to others for use in a variety of gloves where there’s a need for a supple, thin, long-lasting, abrasion-bearing leather. So I have cycling gloves by Pearl Izumi with Pittards leather in them, for instance. Just wash in soap and water for care.
2) Gore-tex lining. I got my first Gore-tex product years ago when Gore-tex first came out for apparel usage–it was in an incredibly expensive (for the time) parka from LL Bean. And I still wear that parka today forty years later. I don’t think any breathable fabric–and many have tried–beats Gore-tex for durability and just plain waterproofing ablity.
3) Primaloft Aerogel insulation. This is as thin and comfortable as insulation gets.

These are great gloves for back country sports and work. Just great. And they’re thin enough to wear comfortably with trekking or ski poles. I got these in unisex large, and though my hands aren’t big for a man, they just fit these gloves. I can’t imagine many men will take less than a large in these gloves. The mediums in the same gloves fit my wife well, but are tight on me.

Finally, Mountain Hardwear makes a variety of gloves under the “Exposure” brand. These are at the thinner and shorter end of that spectrum.

Gloves came with no new item tags. Labels in the glove were well worn they also have some usage stain.

Can speak to the quality of the glove since I’m not going to keep someone else’s used return!

These are amazing working outdoor gloves for days where it’s not arctic out — but still cold. Gore-tex is great for breathing, and they have enough insulation in them that work for most days — I use them snowplowing and I have full movement of my fingers without hardly any restriction — and those days usually hover right below freezing so it’s about the right temp.

Really like the leather construction — they seem to wear really well — and don’t always get that with cloth.
