[Review] Wrangell Gloves by Gordini

Between the Wrangell Gloves and the Wrangell 3-Fingers, I have all I need for my hands. If it’s a warmer day, I opt for the gloves. If it’s a cold day, I go for the three fingers. You really can’t go wrong with either and with the amazing materials and design of the Wrangells, if you have one, you’ll want the other.

Between the soft and easy to wear goatskin leather, the moisture wicking liner, and reinforcement with bison leather where you need it, these gloves are going to withstand whatever abuse you throw at them.

The Primaloft insulation provides you with an extremely warm layer between your skin and the elements. It’s just the right amount of insulation for me as my hands tend to be pretty warm. I have noticed that, while I appreciate the soft and cozy liner, when my hands are sweating it is really easy to pull the liner out when taking the gloves off and it is just kind of annoying and frustrating. If your hands don’t really sweat, you won’t have this problem at all.

 
One of my favorite features of the Wrangell Gloves is the removable leashes. Cally is super jealous of the leashes as when you’re on the chair or hiking up to your favorite spot to drop in, you don’t have to worry about carrying/holding your gloves. I also love the low profile cuff of the gloves. It’s a neoprene material that isn’t overly bulky or cumbersome and fits easily under the sleeve of my jacket. It does have some adjustability with a Velcro tab so you can loosen or tighten to your liking.

I like the padding that is placed where you need it and not where you don’t. I’ve found myself doing quite a bit of tree skiing as of late and it is really helpful to be able to hit branches out of the way of my face but not hurt my hand.

Overall, if you’re looking for warm, comfortable, and extremely easy to wear gloves, I would highly recommend the Wrangells by Gordini. The goatskin leather is so soft and comforting but the bison leather ensures durability where you need it. Eliminate your break-in period and throw on the Wrangells for your next adventure on snow.
