Traverse Gloves Reviews

They're not the best but

They're not the best but waaaaay better than many others I've tried. I have poor circulation in my hands and I live in CO so you can imagine how shitty my hands feel much of the time. I try to tough it out but it gets to be to much at times. Plus part of the key to success to anything is to have good gear. These were thinner than I thought so that's a good thing and the touch through the gloves works really well. I was surprised by this in a good way. I'm a little disappointed that they are made in Cambodia and not the USA. They work well for me and what I use them for.

I used these gloves on

I used these gloves on a recent early season archery hunt for elk. They worked perfectly to keep my hands warm as I glassed for elk early in the day. While the XL fit me fine, I was surprised to find the fit was a bit different between gloves sporting the Optifade Subalpine fabric verse those with Optifade Open Country. I tired on several pair of both camo pattern at the Sitka store in Bozeman to confirm there wasn't a problem with one pair.....nope, the gloves with Optifade Subalpine were slightly smaller. While all my other Sitka gear is Optifade Subalpine, I am not the owner of a pair of these gloves in Open Country. I guess that would be considered a fasion faux pas anywhere else besides elk camp!

These gloves do not live

These gloves do not live up to expectations as they do not provide much warmth or wind protection (should be a 1 for both of these). Also the outside surface is very slick and did not work well for bow hunting.

I really think this glove

I really think this glove should be marketed as a layering glove.. I don't find them to be very warm at all.. The grip on them is minimal. Zero wind protection. Zero water protection. Don't know why they have 2 stars for those sections.. The dexterity is good.. I think the place these gloves would perform would be in 50-60 degree temps for people who are ultra sensitive to cold..

Love these gloves. Lightweight and

Love these gloves. Lightweight and easy to feel everything. Used them in Montana for a late season Elk hunt. Great for active hunting. Not meant for sitting for long periods.

Great Gloves.. light weight and

Great Gloves.. light weight and warm. Could use a few more grips on the palm.

Took these on a week

Took these on a week long trip to Midwest deer hunting. Hands got cold so put these on and they are not warm in any fashion or wind proof. Total waste of money. Very disappointed for this to be sitka.

My 20 year old son

My 20 year old son wanted me to order these for his birthday. He told me this brand was top of the line. The gloves run a little small. They are not very warm. Good dexterity, though. He couldn't wait to get them for hunting season, and was really disappointed. A whole lot of hype about this brand and expensive. Will not purchase anything again. He bought himself a pair of gloves that are way warmer, same look, and dexterity.

Great and amazing gloves.

I only gave them 2

I only gave them 2 stars because I love the fit and ability to use electronics without removing. Third time out the seam on shooting hand split 2 inches.

So I wish SITKA would

So I wish SITKA would make everything else this good. Not waterproof as advertised but can get a little wet before soaking to skin. Not completely wind proof as advertised. However the fit is incredible and for super thin gloves they are beastly warm for their intended environment which I don't think is below 40ish degrees if exposed to elements for long time. I use these for the duck blind in frigid temps to shoot and call but they are in my kangaroo pouch with hand warmers. Great glove.

I would give these a

I would give these a five star for fit, dexterity, and warmth. They are very comfortable. I'm giving a 4 just because of durability. Some seams are already stretching and the material snags in spots after just one season of use.

I have an original pair

I have an original pair of these gloves from almost 15 years ago. I've mearly worn holes in the fingers. Easily the best lightweight pair of gloves I've ever owned and I have dozens and dozens of gloves.

Awesome value. I bought these

Awesome value. I bought these for bow hunting in Maine. Going to absolutely get a second pair for early season ducks, grouse, and woodcock. Great for shotgunning. Hands and fingers don't feel too restricted when hitting the safety off on a quickly flushing bird.

Great gloves! Perfectly sit on

Great gloves! Perfectly sit on the hand, warm well. I have all the colors of these gloves. From autumn to spring I wear them with pleasure. Elevated gloves are finally here, thanks Sitka!
