Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Youngstown's Waterproof Winter Plus is the winter glove you have been looking for: durable, dexterous, comfortable, and waterproof. Created in a unique triple layer design, it features a soft and insulating microfleece liner, a waterproof/windproof inner membrane, and a durable, form-fit outer shell. The terry cloth thumb is great for wiping sweat and debris or even your nose. The palm side is extensively reinforced with non-slip reinforcement to enhance grip while providing lasting durability. The supportive neoprene cuff with Velcro closure locks out the cold and snow. This highly functional winter glove is ideal for any number of winter activities--from heavy duty work like chopping wood or recreational activities like ice fishing this glove will cover your needs. With all winter gloves it is sometimes best to choose one size larger than normal as the extra trapped air can provide more warmth.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok, but there are better options, February 23, 2009

This review is from: Youngstown Glove 03-3450-80-L Waterproof Winter Plus Performance Glove, Large, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)

I work on board tug boats in the harbor of NY/NJ and wanted a waterproof cold weather glove to handle wet lines during the winter, or to wear in a cold rain where every other garment of mine is warm and waterproof.

This is a decent glove if you dont plan on actually getting it wet. (putting it under a faucet isn't really a good test). In actual use, I've found that the gloves are more water "resistant", not waterproof. They start out fine, but after 10 minutes of handling wet lines, the inside starts to get wet and cold real fast. I still wear them, but shelf them for PVC lobsterman gloves when I know they're really going to get wet.

On the flip side, if you're only going to get them wet occasionally, or accidentally, these will be fine. (chances are though, such people won't be shopping for a glove labeled "waterPROOF"). There could also be more insulation... in the future, I dont think I'll consider a glove with a thin fleece lining to be a "winter" glove.

On the good side, the dexterity is good, enough to operate a handheld VHF radio, (dont expect to send text messages with them) and after 3 months of constant abuse, they've held up great.

3 stars though for not living up to a major selling point.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not warm enough!, November 12, 2008

This review is from: Youngstown Glove 03-3450-80-L Waterproof Winter Plus Performance Glove, Large, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)

i bought these gloves because the reviews and the ad said they were warm, waterproof, and rugged. they are actually pretty tough and dont seem to wear out quickly. and they are close fitting enough you can grab things with them, and they even look pretty cool! but my complaint is that they are not warm enough! in 40f degree weather, riding my bicycle, my hands freeze! my hands would be better off in fists stuffed in my pockets without gloves! and they are not really waterproof, but more like water resistant. i expected more from these gloves and i was let down. if you are not in really cold weather and not in an area that it rains often, then these gloves will do you fine. but if you actually need WARM and WATERPROOF gloves, i recommend something else.

I love these gloves. They are very well made and fit great and are comfortable to wear. I work on the flightline at the 177th Fighter Wing in NJ and on the coldest days my hands stay warm and dry. I also have a pair of their non winter weight gloves which are also fantastic.
