I bought these gloves with cycling in mind for cooler, sometimes rainy days (including light frosts). I commute in the city on routes up to a dozen or so kilometres. The gloves work great – they are warm, comfortable, and don’t soak through during autumn or winter drizzle or light rain. The product itself seems well-made to me.
Mil-Tec Softshell Thinsulate Winter Gloves - Phantomleaf WASP I Z1B
Winter gloves in Phantomleaf WASP I Z1B camouflage, made of high-quality softshell, a combination of polyester and elastane. The outer fabric is lightweight, flexible, and provides good protection against moisture while allowing air circulation. The interior is lined with a fleece lining and an inner Thinsulate insulation layer from 3M, ensuring effective protection against the cold.
softshell, fleece lining, thinsulate, reinforced gripping area
The construction is based on softshell material, a blend of polyester and elastane. This fabric combines abrasion resistance with flexibility, making the gloves suitable for demanding weather conditions and intensive use.
The interior is lined with soft fleece, which improves thermal comfort, while the 3M Thinsulate insulation effectively retains heat and wicks away excess moisture, keeping the inner layer dry and comfortable.
The gripping area is reinforced with a polyurethane layer with anti-slip properties. This solution improves grip confidence – even in wet environments – and increases durability in high-wear areas.
touchscreen
The thumb, index, and middle fingers feature a TouchScreen-compatible insert, allowing touchscreen operation without removing the gloves.
elastic cuffs, plastic buckles
Elastic cuffs ensure a snug fit around the wrists, increasing comfort and preventing cold air from entering. Additionally, the gloves are equipped with plastic buckles that allow them to be clipped together – for easy storage and transport.
Phantomleaf WASP I Z1B camouflage
WASP I is an innovative line of Phantomleaf Civ-Tec camouflage patterns, designed specifically for Mil-Tec. Phantomleaf camouflage patterns are created through advanced digital image analysis of the terrain in which the variant is designed to provide camouflage. The algorithm used also takes into account movement and other variables, so the patterns have good adaptability over a wide range of conditions. At the same time, Phamtomleaf camouflages are distinctive enough to guarantee good “friend or foe” identification within a group of soldiers on the battlefield or during an ASG game.
WASP I Z1B variant will work best in rocky areas with low vegetation cover, such as tundra or parts of mountains above the tree line. It will also find use in those cities and industrial sites where concrete and steel structures predominate. It also retains its effectiveness when the area is partially covered with snow.

The gloves seem very thin and almost cardboard-like, as they practically have no padding and are flat (if you've ever had winter ski gloves, you know what I mean :). Nevertheless, they do provide a little warmth, although it's hard to say exactly how, and they are quite comfortable to wear. I chose size 'L' according to the chart and they are perfect, although I have slim hands and expected them to be bigger – you can fit thin fleece gloves underneath. Unfortunately, leather gloves don’t perform well in severe frost, as the leather cools down quickly and your fingers become icy. I hope these will work well as an outer layer in severe frosts or solo at around zero degrees.

The gloves are solidly made and match the description. I wore them today at minus 5 degrees and was surprised at how warm they keep my hands. I didn't expect that. We'll see how long they last. The dog's leash is a tough opponent. Delivery was, as always, very fast.

These gloves have finally met my requirements, which pleasantly surprised me. Thanks to them, I can use my phone without having to take them off. I've already tried ski gloves and elegant gloves, but with none of them could I type on my phone comfortably – only these “military” ones made such an impression on me. I definitely recommend them also to people serving in the military, especially in the field or at the training ground. For a woman's hand, I chose size S – it fits perfectly.
-
Great, exceptionally warm gloves. Nowadays, winters in the city are milder, so these gloves are perfectly adequate. I consider this a very good purchase!
-
Mil-Tec winter gloves provide warmth, comfort, and effectively protect against wind and cold. They are made from softshell material and filled with Thinsulate insulation, so they perform excellently on chilly days. They fit well to the hand and do not restrict movement.
-
Gloves bought with winter mountain trips in mind (without extreme conditions). They are comfortable, warm and work well with trekking poles. After one season there are no visible signs of wear.
-
The gloves are quite comfortable, although despite fitting the hand circumference, they turned out to be a bit too big. Still, so far they are doing their job and are in use. They are rather suitable for cooler days – today with a gentle climb at 4°C they started warming my hands at the end of use.
-
These are the best winter gloves I’ve had so far! They are very warm, effectively protect against wind, cold, and moisture. They are comfortable and it’s easy to perform various activities while wearing them. I use them for cycling in winter and they work perfectly.
-
The gloves perform their function well. The combination of wind protection and insulation provides pleasant warmth on cold days. Fortunately, they’re not too big, so they’re comfortable to wear. It’s a successful compromise between warmth and freedom of hand movement.
-
The gloves are very well made and very comfortable to wear. At this price, it is hard to find a better choice. They work perfectly for everyday use.
-
At temperatures below -12, you don't feel the cold. I took them off for about 5 minutes and immediately felt the chill, but after putting them back on, my hands quickly returned to a comfortable warmth. Compared to sports gloves, these are much better. I recommend them.
-
The Mil-Tec Softshell Thinsulate winter gloves keep your hands warm even on windy, chilly days. They are sturdy, comfortable and fit well. The anti-slip material on the palm improves grip. On three fingers of each glove there is a material that enables operation of touchscreens. Highly recommended.
-
The gloves insulate warmth well, sit comfortably on the hands, and perform well in winter conditions. The winter camouflage works very well. I advise checking the size chart carefully – I choose Mechanix in L, but Mil-Tec was better in M.
-
Very good gloves – comfortable, fit the hand well and are warm. They effectively insulate against the cold. They seem durable and well made; time will tell how long they last. Overall, I recommend them.
