Review

After enjoying the Gordini MTN Crew for very cold days, I was excited to try their slightly slimmer profile Camber glove. The 3-D knit provides some extra style and has some stretch to it, so these gloves provide great dexterity. I found the Camber glove to be slightly tighter than the MTN Crew, the Camber gloves are still true to size. I like my gloves to be a bit more snug when they are new. Over long periods of use they stretch out, these have proven to be true to size and have held up nicely after months of use mainly in the backcountry this spring. The goatskin is tough and will protect you when needed. I particularly enjoyed this while splitboarding and when moving my board from tour mode to ride mode. After a nice split up these gloves were easy to manipulate and allowed me to adjust my nose and tail clips without having to take them off! The other notable features of the gloves are the breathable membrane, spring/summer snow in the Rockies can be heavy and wet and I didn’t notice any water moving through to the liner. These glove breathe well, and I wore them in stormy to bluebird conditions from 15 degrees to 40 degrees Fahrenheit they release heat well but keep you warm all day.
