@@tommieboi707 I live in the UK and wish US brands have more accessible pricing in the UK. A lot of them double their prices for the UK market, like Nemo and Sea to Summit, granted Sea to Summit is Aussie. Vango is alright but can't compare to Nemo, S2S or even Big Agnes. It used to be good - home-grown Scottish brand but nowadays has fallen far behind in terms of innovation. Products tend to be heavy and bulky, though still good quality.
I love Gore-Tex everything! Lightweight, waterproof and super expensive! I've got a hand me down Gore-Tex Jacket Shell I wear over wool sweaters, or alone and love it. I'm hunting now for these gloves! Thanks for the Video
been subscribed for a while now. when you say you have no agenda, I really believe it. I am semi handicapped so when I shovel snow here in the suburban NYC area, the cold hits my hands first. It takes me a while to shovel even 100 feet of my sidewalk. Thanks for the honest reviews. guess I need better gloves!!!
I just bought a pair of these OR U.S military goretex gloves brand new in od green/black with the liner gloves from ebay for $60...Im happy I watch all of the outdoor gear review videos...thanks for the advice
I bought the outdoor research military mittens that are these gloves brother in size large about 6 years ago for like $22 brand new from what I remember. Didn't realize how expensive they were until I saw what they go for on eBay. Anyways great deal you got, and thanks for sharing 🙂
I simply love my homemade wool mitten! Have several for different temperatures. Keep my hands hot event when wet. Cost , 5-7$ for a pair! ( Labor done by step-mother😉)
I always try and buy the best high quality gear. I don't mind paying through the nose if it lasts and works the way I need it too. I'm a smaller guy like you and sometimes that can be a difficult thing to do. That being said as long as it's genuine finding a screaming deal like that is hard to do these days! Thanks man!
Awesome review! My biggest thumbs down with ANY glove is when there is a inner thats not fastened. So when you are moist in the hands, pull the glove off and the inner follows out. It the worst feeling in the world (not really) when you gotto insert your hand and like poke the inner into the outer.. Hate it.
Lucked out here. I was issued a full system. Base Liner, Work, Midweight, Liner and Shell trigger mitten while stationed at Fort Drum, NY. We were given them to “field test” with no return.
It looked like you had a wonderful trip in the woods. Im a little bit jealous that you have bare ground, here in northern Sweden we have a full winter. Ha a great weekend you and susie / Elisabeth - Naturliv
Got a pair of Rip Curl snow boarding Gortex gloves at a clearance sale a bit like the ones you're showing - best cold/wet weather gloves I've ever had.
OR Firebrand Gloves and Mittens. Lots of them on Ebay at the moment. I have the OR Firebrand Gloves coming in the mail. Were supposed to be here yesterday.
I got some OR gloves (liner+gore shell) like ten years ago and they are still going strong. Use them for water monitoring field work and routinely dunk my hands in the river and I am shocked that they are still waterproof. No idea if today's products are still this quality though....
I had some great waterproof gloves when I was in college: I wore some of those rubber monster hands from the halloween store over a 99-cent pair of acrylic stretch gloves. Kept my hands warm and dry, never leaked, and best of all, the total cost was $6. Also, the 6 year old who lived next door thought I was just about the coolest adult he'd ever met. :D
I use a pair of MTP goretex mittens - military surplus, they go for around 5 to 10 British pounds in the UK. They're outers, to go over normal gloves - I haven't tested to see if they're water proof, but boy are they wind proof, which is why I bought them. Like a lot of british military surplus, they're described as goretex, but whether they really are, I don't know. They go quite a long way up the arm, possibly look a bit silly, but I like them.
At the cheaper price not bad . I bought a pair of waterproof and windproof gloves from Heat Holders. They are awesome. Worn them outside at 28 Below zero and was very warm. Also rode my motorcycle at -4 wind-chill at 45mph and was comfortable.
I have these in both the gloves and mittens , and they rock . You should do a video on the "US Happy suit" , I use mine in conjunction with it . These are very expensive
I made an offer for a new pair in large in cameo from EBay seller who was asking $65 and got them including shipping for $50.I went to Ebay as soon I saw the video yesterday and the seller had 32 pairs and made an offer. All gone now due to the magic of Luke. seal of approval ,
OR make some really good stuff. Bought some GT mittens 25!!! years ago and they are still working well. Had to repair the rubber palm with McNett glue a few years ago but they are still water proof
Outdoor resource meteor mits are loose enough in the shell that you still have good dexterity and come with finger less liners. Much cheaper but still best gloves I have.
Cool review. I have been going crazy trying to find a waterproof “Mechanix” style work gloves with high dexterity and durability. Let me know when you find them. Thanks
At the price there should be a rope to run through the jacket to connect both gloves. But no matter what I would setup a rope system to hook both gloves together also it would be nice to just pull them off and not have to worry about where they are or trying to stuff them in a pocket.
you can save a ton of money by using bread bags...they cost about 4 bucks and come with a free loaf of bread. The stars of my last soak test (along with my tyvek rain skirt/ground sheet) for backpacking of course - not much else
Hi Luke. My hubby is looking for a good pair of heated gloves. Do you have any recommendations. He is a diabetic and his hands get cold fast. Thanks for sharing all your good info. Julie.
Note! You may want to double check the sizing. From what i have found, the tag #38 is size XL. I noticed that your pair were marked 37. I am thinking that you may have a bigger size that Small, that you mentioned in the video. I could be wrong of course.
My problem with gloves is that, for regular gloves sizing, my palm measures for a medium, but my fingers measure for a large. So I have never found a pair of gloves that really fit well. I settle for a medium, but it always feels too tight on my fingers and they're resisting the gloves. Thus, my first impression upon seeing these gloves is that its got such stubby fingers relative to the sack-like palm. Did you notice any issues with that?
I completely understand the notion that the price is egregious and that they might have been going for military pricing but I the MGS was designed specifically for SOCOM to complement their PCU line up, and that itself is the SOCOM equivalent to the ECWCS. Yes there are much more economically sound options out there that will get the job done and you can definitely save money by hunting for deals but as outrageous as the pricing was, these were purpose designed for professional users. Also It wasn't until about a week ago that these products were available for purchase directly from outdoor research, it used to be restricted.
Hi Luke, I just saw your Freezing Rain Overnight II video from 8 years ago where you told the story of your broken back. Do you still have pain? How is it holding up? Btw, thanks for the videos, I’ve been enjoying them here in South Korea.
Insane price, I dunno what some ppl are thinking and how the people that buy stuff like these find and get their money, but this is insane. You can definitely get better gloves for that price.
Will stick with my Arcteryx Alpha AR(goretex) gloves or my Hestra Fält Guides or Ergo Grip Actives. For what else is available on the market you have to be high on bat guana to pay $270 for those. Also have the MH Absolute Zero mitts(goretex) for when things get really spicy up high.
The glove fingers look shorter than your fingers, is this a thing? I wear med sized gloves and could use something like this. Never knew they made this. In the past I've used gloves and covered with leather mittens.
I can hear Gunny now, "You lost your $270 glove covers? You're going to pay Supply back AND you're getting office hours". Also Gunny: "Why don't you yahoos have your shells on in this mess?" Marines: "We're not paying two-hundred for some lost gloves and getting restriction. We'd rather our fingers fell off."
Poor man's solution: a pair of nitrile industrial gloves with a cloth lining for about two bucks on Amazon. I put them on over my smartwool and I am good in any rain from 45 degrees on down. I have worn these for multiple trips and stayed warm and dry. I have tried multiple gloves and have either been too cold or they got me wet. For me, it has been the best solution, which is kind of silly, since I have about 1.5K on my back and in that pack.
For the military i think they make sense i could see them charging 120 bucks , down to zero degrees is pretty good , it beats wearing mutant gloves and having no dexterity and having your gloves possibly get wet . I think i would pay 50 bucks for these , 70 dollars is getting towards the point of hesitation
I got a pair of Hestra winter mittens for 110€, then I bought winter mittens from a military store for 5€. The latter have longer sleeve, that stops snow, so you could argue they're better. It's comedy.
They misplaced the decimal point in that $270, ehh? Plus, they are so big and clumsy that you can’t do anything with them on. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
A cheap alternative for people based in UK/EU are MTP ECW Gore-Tex shell mittens. ~121g for size small, breathable and waterproof, usually around $20.

UK has so many options for camping. I just ordered a vango tent that is only sold in the UK. I wish outwell and vango sold tents in the states.

$135 a glove? Funk that
Love lukes reviews. Tested them to the hilt always no matter if its tents bags or gloves
Great Find Luke! Ill have to see if I can get some. Perfect for shoulder season and for when you really need a light weight glove.
Dude, good find. Now looking for myself. Thanks brah!
Thank you Luke for all your reviews,, I am always watching,, I may not always comment..

I bet you are getting excited for your upcoming weather!! Hope you get some good snow camping in!!!❄❄❄ from Cripple Creek Co.
Excellent insight and great video
Thanks for including celsius!🥰
Outdoor Research has some cool stuff, just never lasts
Thank you Luke😺
OR also makes goretex mittens for USMC. You can find them on ebay for the same price too!

So you walked around with Halloween rubber monster hand on. I'd rather wet hands I think
@@itanamullik Why do you hate fun...
The retail price is ridiculous, hats off to ebay you made a great choice Luke. They look well made and should last a while.
These just made my list a couple weeks ago when ordering OR Firebrand gloves.
Good to now Steve T. Keep up the good work.
Good find Luke. Unfortunately EBAY doesn't list them any more! Bummer!
Awesome find

I found a deal on the same style by OR but mittens. Looking forward to testing them out
Love these videos
A few years ago, I bought a pair of insulated Gore Tex gloves at Cabela's for under $40.
They look pretty nice, love goretex
I have these in both the gloves and mittens , and they rock . You should do a video on the "US Happy suit" , I use mine in conjunction with it . These are very expensive

Browning used to make an awesome gore-tex glove. Completely waterproof and thin. I own a pair and will have trouble finding a replacement pair 😐
OR make some really good stuff. Bought some GT mittens 25!!! years ago and they are still working well. Had to repair the rubber palm with McNett glue a few years ago but they are still water proof
i would recommend sealskinz waterproof/breathable gloves too to try out sometime - most comfortable i have used
Big fan of the Usgi Masley Goretex gloves. Only like $20-$30
i have some Gore-Tex OR research over mitt shells. They work well.
Outdoor resource meteor mits are loose enough in the shell that you still have good dexterity and come with finger less liners. Much cheaper but still best gloves I have.

Your jacket looks amazing. Would appreciate if you can direct to the website you bought from ? Cheers.
I like my military surplus wool gloves & or structural firefighting gloves for outdoors if i need to gp heavier
Just seen these on eBay for £40 I was tempted
A cheap pair of rubber kitchen gloves will keep me just as dry, and cost about $2.70, not $270.00!
270$ No Way it’s not gonna happen but 30$ sure.
Awesome video as usual 🤘🏻
holy crap, even motorcycle specific gore-tex gloves can be had for less money than the original asking price for these
Dear lord, I lost all air in my body when you said $270, I was thinking maybe 130 > 150? But almost 300???? Mama mia!
Idk I'll stick to my Black Diamond Legends (2015 model with EVA protection and kevlar stitching, Goretex and Primaloft) - and Kinco 901.
Luke have you ever tried any of those neoprene gloves for wet cold weather? What would be your thoughts about them?
Good review, bu NO thank you!
Just go with mechanic cold weather gloves, best $30 I have spent, waterproof and warm
Now - after this post - the supply will shrink and prices will skyrocket. I have a different model of OG gloves and LOVE them...

Btw, thanks for the videos, I’ve been enjoying them here in South Korea.
Good afternoon, greetings from Spain, could you tell me what model are the Outdoor gloves that you are wearing in the video?
Thanks for your videos
$270.00 retail price is very telling as to
the GREED of the Outdoor Research co.
Insane price, I dunno what some ppl are thinking and how the people that buy stuff like these find and get their money, but this is insane. You can definitely get better gloves for that price.
Will stick with my Arcteryx Alpha AR(goretex) gloves or my Hestra Fält Guides or Ergo Grip Actives.

Also have the MH Absolute Zero mitts(goretex) for when things get really spicy up high.
Thats up there with the $500 toilet seats I heard about in the 80s. .gov pricing at its best. Nice US made gloves though.
The glove fingers look shorter than your fingers, is this a thing? I wear med sized gloves and could use something like this. Never knew they made this. In the past I've used gloves and covered with leather mittens.
Sold out in most places.
You need to get the rest of the system. Those r just one component of the military cold weather glove system. .
Just get a pair of Hestra Fält glovesfor 120$ and you have a all season fireproof glove with removable wool linning.
What kind of camera do you use for doing your videos GoPro which model or is it something else
Are these all oversized since they are shells intended to fit over liners? Should we size down?
So uhh.. Hey that's cool.. anyways, uh can i see your gloves for a second.. brb i swear 😂
Great review but I'm too cheap for those.
I can hear Gunny now, "You lost your $270 glove covers? You're going to pay Supply back AND you're getting office hours".
Also Gunny: "Why don't you yahoos have your shells on in this mess?"
Marines: "We're not paying two-hundred for some lost gloves and getting restriction. We'd rather our fingers fell off."
How do you protect yourself from buying stolen property?. Be well and stay safe.
