Review for model:

I mainly used them as additional gloves under tactical gloves in severe frost. Yes, they do warm up a bit, but it is not a big difference. They are pleasant to the touch and you can pair them, but that's where their advantages end. I expected more from them.

I didn't expect them to keep me so warm at these temperatures; the size is appropriate, but I'm a bit disappointed because already after the first day of use in the field and while handling a weapon, the protrusions started to fall off, the material is pilling, and you can't operate a touchscreen with these gloves.

The Helikon Trekker gloves are made from high-quality material, perform very well in winter conditions and are extremely comfortable to wear. The material is sturdy, and the non-slip inserts on the outside are an excellent solution.

Soft on the inside, with anti-slip inserts on the outside. They do not work with the iPhone's touch screen. Everyone experiences the cold differently, but for me they are fine up to 0°C – even in the wind, below that temperature my fingers get very cold.

I bought these gloves as a replacement for my previous Mechanix ones, which had worn out. Their advantage is that, unlike those, they are made from flexible material and provide more warmth in lower temperatures. When wet, they dry faster than Mechanix gloves. The sizing is as described – I have slim hands and size L fits perfectly. Only the thumb seems a bit too wide compared to the other fingers. Thanks to the rubberisation on the underside, they grip the steering wheel well. However, they are not suitable for snow or very severe frost.

The gloves are very light and comfortable for spring, autumn or warmer winter days. Just like Mechanix gloves, size M turned out to be perfect. In my opinion, they are not suitable as work or shooting gloves, but are rather appropriate as additional insulation or for walks on colder days.

I've been using them for over half a year now, for everyday use and when cycling – I am very satisfied. They are lightweight, comfortable and keep warm. I highly recommend them.

The gloves indeed aren’t suitable for severe cold, but they work great on cold, windy days. Very comfortable and pleasant thanks to the fleece inside. The anti-slip elements make it easy to drive a car. Thanks to the connectors, you can clip them together, so they are easier not to lose. They are lightweight. I recommend them.

The gloves met my expectations – they are well made, comfortable to wear (even when driving), lightweight, soft and warm. However, you should be careful not to rub them against rough surfaces as they may get damaged. In summary: they are perfect.

They are not intended for very cold and windy days. Very well made, pleasant to the touch. The anti-slip finish works even when driving a car. I recommend them.

Great gloves – they are warm, look very good, fit well to the hands, and the subtle rubberisation on the top makes everyday tasks easier. I recommend buying them.

Nice to the touch. When the temperature drops below -4°C you need to move your fingers, otherwise it gets cold. The downside is the lack of the ability to operate a touch screen on your phone.

The gloves are good for not too frosty days, but for lower temperatures, another layer would be useful. They are comfortable and pleasant to the touch. Attractive price, recommend.

Weak. The gloves are only good for temperatures from 5°C to 10°C – even then, you can feel the cold. At 0°C, your hands are very cold. The name suggests they are autumn-winter, but they’re not suitable for winter. The only advantage is the thin material, which allows you to do precise tasks.

This is already the second pair, bought for my other half – now we both wear the same gloves and it looks good. You can wear them under other gloves for severe cold and they keep warm even at -15°C with wind. On their own, they work up to -5°C plus wind.
