Outdoor Research says:
The Stormtracker Sensor Windbloc Gloves offer classic mid-weight multi-purpose mountain versatility with 3-layer Polartec® Windbloc™ fabric and a leather palm.
Our Verdict
The Outdoor Research Backstop Sensor Windpro Gloves provide warmth and dexterity, making them a reliable choice for cold, windy conditions.Weighing just 52g for the medium pair, they deliver impressive windproof performance in a sleek design that breathes well during high-output activities.
The touchscreen-compatible fingertips function as you would exspect, allowing quick access to phones and GPS devices without exposing your hands to the cold. The Radiant Fleece palms add warmth, while the anti-slip silicone print ensures a secure grip on poles or gear. I particularly appreciated the tapered, elasticated wrists that create a snug seal, keeping the cold out and warmth in.
These gloves excel in less extreme conditions like hill walks and low-level routes. They also work well as part of a layering system, fitting comfortably under a shell glove for added protection in harsher weather.
