Our Verdict
These gloves are incredibly warm, lightweight, and packable, providing exceptional warmth on winter excursions. I would be comfortable using these gloves on some low-level hikes, winter hill walks, and as an everyday mitt in the "real world." However, when incorporated into a glove layering system, theParadox Waterproof Gloves truly shine; they would be excellent under a rugged, weatherproof shell.
Although these gloves are advertised as waterproof, I would err on the side of caution and classify them as water-resistant. They will repel light rain, sleet, and snow, but I would not rely on them to keep water out in extreme conditions. For this reason, I recommend using them as part of a layering system if you plan to summit during the winter.
With a great fit, these gloves provide instant warmth while being lightweight and unrestrictive. The outer glove is made of nylon that protects the PrimaLoft Gold insulation. The palm of the glove has minimal reinforcement, which I would like to see Extremities address by providing full palm coverage. The gloves have some touchscreen capabilities, which work well, I would be happy to use these to navigate.
