    Thanks for the heads-up. FYI, the prices vary with sizing -- small is showing up at $13 currently.

    Crazy price. I'd spend a minute reading the comments about finger length and thumb placement (also some @ backcountry.com). Looks like this may not be OR's best effort.

    For $19 (w/ tax), and free return shipping if they don't fit or otherwise suck... I bought a pair.

    yeah, i mean, they definitely don't sound like premium gloves.

    but hey, for $19, might as well try 'em out. also gloves are one of those products where no matter what, people are going to complain. can't fit everyone perfect.

    Totally. A low risk proposition for the price of a pizza.

    For those who bought a pair -- check your emails from Amazon. I got an email with "Claim your reward" in it -- Amazon sent a $5 off $10 discount. I assume part of the Prime Day promos, expires in 30 days, valid on items sold by Amazon, etc...

    I got no such email but I did get a pair of M and L gloves and they are fine. There is a very stupid index finger tip thing that pulls back for a bare fingertip. While this might be great for nose-picking or tapping a screen or even twiddling the bean, it does get bunched up in the glove but not that bad. I see it as a got a pair of fleece gloves and a pair of shell gloves for less than twenny bux. the thumb is in the right spot.

    I bought two pair last year for backcountry snowmobiling. First thing I did was chuck those crappy fleece liners. The finger openings are all sorts of wrong, and the fleece is actually too thick to be comfortable. Use some lightweight sensor style gloves and they are great together.
