Bogmar Polish Army Winter gloves - black

Opinion after a year: unfortunately the gloves did not withstand intensive use – the seams at the fingers gave way in two places. This may be due to frequent cycling and putting them on over thin fleece gloves. At temperatures around 0°C, hands still freeze without extra protection. The material itself does not wear through, only the seams are problematic.

Good cotton gloves, a nice alternative to synthetic materials. They may not be enough on very frosty days, but are suitable for the Polish winter. They work well on walks with the dog, a bit stiff at first, but later they adjust to the hand.

The gloves are well made, I use them every day for gardening and outdoor work. They are suitable down to about -10°C, provided you're active; when still, your hands start to get cold. They don’t get dirty quickly, and after washing they shrink a bit, but quickly return to shape.

This is definitely a cheaper solution. The gloves are warm and quite good for the price, but the comfort of wearing leaves much to be desired. The material at the wrist is very wide—almost like a lampshade, and there’s quite little space for the fingers, which are short. You can tell it’s a budget product.

Unfortunately, this glove purchase was a miss, but at least cheap. I wasn’t able to put them on because they’re very narrow and elongated – more suitable for a long, narrow (probably women’s) hand. I haven’t tested them in practice; the thickness of the material does not suggest good protection from the cold.

The gloves fit better for people with larger hands – for those with slim hands they will be too loose, which is a problem for precise tasks.

I tested them on a bike (40 minutes) at around 3-4°C – they're effective. They don’t have extra insulation, so keep that in mind. I have medium-sized, rather slim hands – size M is tight in the fingers and too loose in the palm. You could put a box of matches in there. For 25 PLN it’s still worth it, and if you lose them, it's no big deal. The material seems solid and there is no chemical smell.

Sturdy, warm well and are very comfortable. In Polish conditions they work brilliantly, only in the harshest frosts did I feel slight cold. Compared to popular fabric gloves, they are much better, and the price is attractive.

If someone needs gloves for temperatures from +10 to 0°C, they’ll do the job. At -4°C, after being outside for over an hour, my hands got very cold. Interestingly, after a few minutes without gloves my hand was warmer than with the glove – even keeping my hands in my pockets didn’t help.

Well-made gloves, I use them every day in the garden and outside, and they're good down to -10°C when active. They don't get dirty too quickly, after washing they shrink a bit, but soon return to the correct size.

Quality is at a good level, but the gloves have a style with very long fingers and I had to exchange them several times to find the right size for myself.

Pleasant gloves, nice material and they keep you warm, but below zero degrees they lose their properties. Still, their quality matches the price, so I recommend them.

They heat well in moderate conditions, but at around -10/-12 degrees they don’t quite manage. They’re fine for everyday use. Sturdy and well-made. I take off one star because after washing they shrank a little, but after two days they almost returned to their original size.

The gloves are quite warm and pleasant to the touch. In the chosen size, the fingers are rather long and the gloves themselves fairly narrow. People with wide hands may have trouble using them.

The gloves are well-made and that’s their main advantage. They don’t keep your hands very warm; they only warm my hands around zero degrees. At -3°C after 30 minutes, my fingers were already cold. Sizing leaves a bit to be desired – in my case, size XL was more like L. The largest size seems small; I had to really stretch them onto my hands. Overall, nothing special, but if someone really wants, they might consider them.
