In my opinion, Outdoor Research is a vastly underrated company. Over time, I’ve found myself purchasing more and more of their gear. I own one of their Balaclavas and I ordered a Ferrosi Hooded Jacket last week. One of my biggest frustrations however has been finding a pair of everyday winter gloves. I’ve worn Arc’teryx Delta midweight fleece gloves the past couple of seasons, but I wasn’t completely happy with them. Especially after they changed the cuff design. For super cold temperatures, my Outdoor Research Revolutions are the warmest gloves I’ve ever owned. Given my experience with them, I decided to try the Outdoor Research Flurry Sensor Gloves.
Outdoor Research Flurry Sensor Gloves
The Flurry Sensor Gloves feature OR’s Alpin-Wool™ Plus fabric, which is a combination of wool and nylon. The palm and fingers of the gloves feature strategically placed silicon pads to improve grip.
The gloves are also touch screen capable for smartphone use.
However, what really sets the Outdoor Research Flurry Sensor Gloves apart is they feature a fleece interior lining. The combination of the wool and fleece make these gloves warmer than most gloves in this class.
I usually avoid sensor gloves because they aren’t much warmer than most liner gloves that isn’t the case with these. They’re probably not the best sensor glove due to their thickness, but I’ve used the touch feature during my commute and it’s worked fine. That said, if that’s your priority over warmth then I’d look elsewhere.
And yes, they aren’t water-resistant, but I’ve used them in snow and they have to get pretty saturated before I feel any hint of moisture due to the dual layer construction.
The Outdoor Research Flurry Sensor Gloves retail for $40 but you can usually catch them on sale for less. They are available from a number of popular online outdoor retailers.
