I really like these gloves and recently ordered my third pair. OK, so the name "Summit" is not a good name. It conjures up thoughts of extra warmth that simply won't be there in otherwise extreme conditions. The gloves are medium weight at best. HOWEVER, I find this weight to be ideal for many active uses - cold weather running, X-country skiing, long walks with the dog, general outdoor work, etc. Not too hot, not too cold when you are actively engaged. I have even used these on Mt. Rainier up to 11,500 feet (i.e. not the summit) as they provided the right combination of warmth, coverage, flexibility and dexterity that was critical for a late summer/early fall ascent. I slipped a properly sized Gore-tex shell over the Ironclads to provide additional wind protection and insulation for the final leg up to 14,500 and then stowed the shells on the way down. So, these are my "Get You Close to the Summit" gloves. I would echo the sizing difficulty. The medium fits me just right even though I normally wear a large in other brands.

Right and left glove fit differently on finger width as well as palm width.
If both were like the left glove I would like them. Back they go!

This review is from: Ironclad SMB-01-XS Summit Gloves, Extra Small (Tools & Home Improvement)

One would expect that a glove that uses the word "Summit" in the title would be at the very least, moderately warm. Guess again... I read a lot of reviews for Ironclad gloves (none for this particular style however), and hoped for the best when ordering. I have failed to find any gloves that can keep my hands warm in single-digit weather while working in the barn on a horse farm, even the "warmest" gloves out there either are far too bulky (ski gloves), removing any semblance of dexterity, or they simply are not warm enough.

These gloves are not nearly as soft as they look in the picture, for one thing. The inside is so harsh on my skin, that it was raw by the time I removed them after a few hours of working. The area across the palm and first set of knuckles is too tight, but the fingers are too long, so finding a proper fit? Not likely. And when the fingers of a glove are too long, trying to do fine tasks like fastening buckles is exceedingly frustrating. These gloves are also not remotely waterproof, as I unpleasantly discovered when filling water buckets in 12 degree weather. About the only thing I liked was the velcro tab at the wrist, as opposed to the normal "flared wrist" style of gloves. But, even so, these did not keep the chill of the wind out, it just whipped through as though I was wearing those $3.99 cloth gloves one can buy at a supermarket. Additionally, even though I used these gloves for only 4-6 hours, the tip of one of the fingers was fraying by the time I got back into the house. So much for "durability"...

Despite all the claims in the promotional text the manufacturer shows on the page for these, I found that not a single one of the claims was true. Perhaps someone who doesn't actually need their fingers when working, and works in weather that is above freezing (and has very long fingers and skinny hands) may find these gloves effective... but I'm still on the hunt for a decent pair of gloves.
