Perfect adaptation
Good product
Very good product
the gloves are comfortable and light
Good value for money
Very good product
Excellent, right size, correct fit, nice to look at, you can use the phone without taking them off with an excellent response, the only problem is that they heat less than other cheaper gloves and are colder
Gloves are purchased for cold 0 or less 0, the seller said they were for extreme cold and they were not useful for winter in NY, it seems they were not for intense cold
Ras
Used for walking and riding a motorcycle.
Top gloves, good quality, allows smartphone unlocking
I like these gloves (already had a pair) protect from the cold just enough. But only in terms of sewing it is not that, on 1 month of use already sewn 2 seams on the fingers and now today I have to redo two others. (same problem on my old pair) So sewing to be reviewed!

Additional Product Information
Composition
Main fabric: 87.0% Polyester, 13.0% Elastane ; Back of the hand: 100.0% Polyester ; Yoke: 100.0% Polyamide ; Coating: 100.0% Polyurethane
How is usage temperature measured?
All our gloves are laboratory tested on a thermal hand. The minimum temperatures for use (recommended and limit) are the result of a study carried out with a test panel of 23 walkers exposed to temperatures ranging from 5°C to -20°C and 10 km/h winds. These temperatures are only valid in walking conditions. MT500 gloves are rated for warmth at 1 out of 5. Recommended temperature: 8°C | Limit temperature: 3°C
How to properly protect your hands from the cold
In the same way you wear several layers of clothing when trekking, you can wear liner gloves under your gloves, which will act as a thermal base layer. This multi-layer system lets several layers of air to form around your hands, efficiently insulating them from the cold! Remember to wear large enough gloves to keep your fingers from being constricted. Compression reduces blood circulation in the fingers.
How to keep your hands warm with the right clothing
When active, the body generates heat which is preserved thanks to the thermal insulation of your clothing. If the clothing is inadequate, your body cools and the blood flow to the hands and feet drops in order to keep your upper body warm. Your clothing can therefore play a role in keeping your hands warm.
What is the dexterity of a glove?
The dexterity of a glove is its ability to handle objects. Our Trek 500 gloves have been rated in a laboratory. The closer the glove's dexterity is to 5, the more the glove can handle objects in the same way as the bare hand. For example, we have tested the ability to put on and open a jacket, to handle objects in bivouac, to eat and drink wearing the Trek 500 gloves. The Trek 500 gloves are given a warmth rating of 4 out of 5.
Are these gloves windproof?
MT500 Stretch gloves are not windproof.Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder? With an outdoor temperature of 0°C and a 20 km/h wind, the perceived temperature will be -10°C The windproof components reduce the wind chill resulting from the cooling effect of the wind or apparent wind generated by the sporting activity.We advise you to complete your purchase with our MT500 waterproof and windproof overgloves
Got your liner gloves caught in the rain?
If this happens then dry them in a dry place but avoid placing them on a heat source. This could damage the fibre and they could lose their shape!
