Versatile windproof gloves that combine warmth, breathability, and touchscreen compatibility—ideal for active outdoor enthusiasts.
Outdoor Research says:
The Backstop Sensor Wind Pro™ Gloves provide breathable and windproof warmth and dexterity for any activity where gusting winds are a part of the journey.
Lightweight yet incredibly warm, these gloves are a breathable, moisture-wicking barrier against the wind. Touchscreen-compatible fingertips allow smartphone and watch use without exposing hands to the cold, and an anti-slip silicone palm print delivers a firm grip. Radiant Fleece™ technology in the palms adds warmth without bulk. Useful features like the glove clip keep the gloves together when not in use, while the elasticized, tapered wrist provides a snug fit that keeps the elements out and locks in warmth.
Whether trekking through the backcountry or taking on a cold trail run, the Backstop Sensor Windpro Gloves are a go-to for windproof comfort and performance.
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.
