So, let me start by saying that i was really looking for a waterproof glove. And when it comes to that, Stoic delivers for sure. The glove has some great features, like 2 cinch cords (one for the wrist, and one for the gauntlet), the extra long gauntlet is really nice. They look really cool... and they have removable liners.

The liners: The liners are very thick, and seem very warm, but i've never had to use them, because the shell with a much smaller liner was just fine for all of this season. The liners are also sort of scratchy, not too great, but its ok, because any other liner will work with it. One thing i do have to say is that if the weather gets warm, and you dont have a liner on, the fabric on the inside of the shell (while comfy) makes it hard to get a sweaty hand in and out. To combat this i wore thin wicking linings, and it made everything better.

The Interior: As mentioned above the shell interior has some kind of fabric... i guess micro fleece? it's pretty comfy, but in the mit part, theres this really thin piece of fabric separating the fingers... it's sort of unnecessary and annoying, but not that big of a deal., i suppose if it really bothered you, you could cut it out? ... maybe thats not a good idea though.

Functionality: Well this mis is definitely warm and waterproof (i ran my hand under the faucet for a while). The freed index finger obviously allows for more movement, but the way the index finger is stitched up is sort of funky, its stitched down the middle, so you are left with some extra fabric, and a pointy finger, its hard to explain, but it doesn't really allow for all the articulation a well designed glove would. It's not terrible though, i was able to do simple tasks i.e. zipper my jacket, adjust my helmet, get out my phone.. but you might have a hard time doing smaller things like... i don't know, picking up a nail? I suppose i should also mention the gauntlet has this neat little plastic thing in it that helps the gauntlet stay straight, really a great idea. The gauntlets are also nice and long to keep the snow out.

Other things: Man, do these gloves look B.A. definitely the coolest looking gloves I've had. One thing though, you know those straps that go on you're wrist to stop you from dropping the gloves when you take them off? they aren't present on these mits... and i just don't understand why... I suppose you could attach a loop to the cinch lines... but they should have just included one. Also, the two cinch cords arent distinguishable, i found that a little annoying, but thats easily fixed.

Bottom Line: a great glove, that wont disappoint, but for over $100, i expect every detail to be attended to, and it wasn't.
