Helikon Impact Duty Winter Mk2 Gloves - Olive Green/Black

This is my first experience with Helikon gloves. I like both Helikon and Mechanix products, so I decided to check out how these gloves perform. Firstly, I do not recommend using the size chart from militaria.pl, as it is inaccurate – I chose the size via the Helikon website and advise you to do the same before purchase. Regarding the complaints about water resistance – if someone expects the gloves to be completely waterproof, it’s better to go for rubber or latex ones, as fabric gloves will not provide that. The workmanship quality pleasantly surprised me; the gloves look neat and the size is as stated by the manufacturer. The inner part of the hand and fingertips have a pleasant texture, which makes it easy to grip objects – a trekking pole, phone or dog leash. The grip in these gloves is really secure, which is a big plus. Thermal insulation is rather suitable for the transitional season – the thin 3M Thinsulate layer works well around zero degrees, but not for severe frosts like -5°C and below. Thanks to this, you can maintain good dexterity and comfortably use your phone or fasten zippers. Obviously – less insulation means greater flexibility of the gloves. In my opinion, at this price point, it’s a very successful product and I also intend to try other Helikon models, including summer ones. The company did a good job here – I recommend it!

The gloves offer a good grip and average thermal insulation. They will work well in milder winters (around 0 degrees), but for more severe frosts it's worth looking for something warmer.

Fantastic gloves, they fit the hand perfectly, do not restrict movement, and you can conveniently operate a phone thanks to rubberised elements. Ideal for temperatures around zero, but may be too thin for more severe frost. Typical Helikon quality – they deserve 5 stars!

I have been using these gloves for a long time and can confidently recommend them – they are very warm, fit well, and are carefully made. The handy clip allows you to fasten them together. The ability to use touch screens is also an advantage. Highly recommend!

I was undecided before buying, but after trying them on I knew they’d stay with me. When it comes to warmth – it’s average, but they make up for it with flexibility and grip comfort.

Excellent gloves for working with firearms – choosing the right size is the key to comfortable use at the shooting range. They fit well, the material does not bunch up or get caught on the gun. I recommend them!

The gloves are average – they provide some insulation from the cold, but nothing special. Good for around 0 degrees. After three months of light use, you can already see wear. I would choose a different pair next time.

Very warm gloves, the excellent material on the inner side provides a good grip on poles and aids while supporting yourself. They fit well and provide effective protection against strong wind.

I tested them during light frosts and they worked well. They are comfortable and fit the hand well, objects don't slip out like with leather gloves. An additional plus for the convenient fastening that allows for quick removal and hanging.

My opinion concerns the product. The shop shipped the order quickly and professionally, customer service was exemplary. As for the gloves – they are not suitable for our Central European climate. They only work in very dry conditions, up to about 0°C; they are comfortable and have a good cut. Unfortunately, they quickly absorb moisture from the surroundings: rain, snow, or even a damp bench can make them lose their insulating properties and start to cool your hands. Below zero they quickly get damp and become very cold, and once wet, the gloves are useless. They are only suitable for very dry, cool days. The lack of special shaping on the index finger makes it difficult to operate the trigger precisely at the shooting range. They don't support touchscreens – you have to take them on and off each time. You can get a similar effect by buying cheap market gloves.

In the current conditions the gloves are a bit too warm, especially at around 0°C, but that's more of an advantage. The glove length is right, but they're a bit tight around the circumference, which requires some getting used to. As for workmanship—no complaints.

I have been using these gloves for quite some time and can confidently recommend them. They are very warm, fit excellently, and are solidly made. A practical addition is the clip connecting the gloves. Being able to operate a touchscreen is also important.

The craftsmanship of the gloves is very good, finished with attention to detail. They are not suitable for -10°C, but within the 0–10°C range, they are great for cycling to work. The sizing is fine, no comments. I recommend them.

Gloves very solidly made, size matches the chart on the website. The seams are durable, they are warm and fit well in the hand. Durable – they don’t wear out quickly like products from other brands. I honestly recommend them!

Looking for cycling gloves for cold morning temperatures, I tested them in bad weather and rain. At 10°C they are a bit too warm, but they provide excellent insulation. Comfortable, size L turned out just right, so the sizing is as described. A really good purchase, I can honestly recommend them.
