Helikon Impact Duty Winter Mk2 Gloves - Black

This is my first experience with Helikon gloves. I like products from both Helikon and Mechanix, so I decided to see how these gloves would perform. First of all, I do not recommend relying on the size chart from militaria.pl, because it is inadequate – I chose my size using the Helikon website and advise you to do the same before purchasing. Regarding complaints about water resistance – if someone expects the gloves to be completely waterproof, it’s better to opt for rubber or latex ones, as fabric gloves cannot guarantee that. The workmanship quality positively surprised me, the gloves have a neat appearance and the size matches the manufacturer's information. The inside of the hand and fingertips have a pleasant texture, which makes it easy to grip items – trekking pole, phone, or dog leash. The grip in these gloves is really secure, which is a big advantage. The thermal insulation is rather for transitional seasons – the thin layer of 3M Thinsulate will work well around zero degrees, not for heavy frosts like -5°C and below. Thanks to this, you can maintain good dexterity and comfortably use your phone or zip zippers. Of course – less insulation means more flexibility. In my opinion, for this price, it’s a very successful product, and I also plan to try other Helikon models, including summer ones. The company did a good job here – I recommend it!

The gloves provide a good grip and average thermal insulation. They will work in milder winters (around 0 degrees), but for tougher frosts it’s better to look for something warmer.

Excellent gloves, fit the hand perfectly, do not restrict movement, and thanks to the rubberized elements, you can comfortably use your phone with them. Ideal for temperatures around zero, but they may be too thin for colder weather. Typical Helikon quality – they deserve 5 stars!

I've been using these gloves for a long time and can confidently recommend them – they're very warm, well-fitted, and carefully made. The handy clip lets you fasten them together. The ability to use touchscreens is also an advantage. Highly recommend!

I was undecided before purchase, but after trying them on, I knew they would stay with me. As for warmth – it’s average, but they make up for it with flexibility and comfortable grip.

Great gloves for working with weapons - the right size is key for comfort at the shooting range. They fit well, the material doesn't bunch up or snag on the weapon. I recommend them!

The gloves are average – they insulate a bit from cold, but nothing special. Good for around 0 degrees. After three months of light use, wear is already visible. I would choose different ones next time.

Very warm gloves, with excellent material on the inside that ensures a good grip on poles and helps when supporting yourself. They fit well and effectively protect against strong winds.

I tested them during light frost and they performed well. They are comfortable and fit the hand well; items do not slip out as with leather gloves. An extra plus for the convenient closure that allows quick removal and hanging.

My opinion concerns the product. The store shipped the order quickly and professionally, and the customer service was exemplary. As for the gloves – they are not suitable for our Central European climate. They will only work in very dry conditions up to around 0°C, they are comfortable and have a good cut. Unfortunately, they quickly absorb moisture from the environment: rain, snow, or even a damp bench can cause them to lose their insulating properties and start cooling the hands. Below zero, they get damp immediately and cool down a lot, and once wet, the gloves become useless. They are only good for very dry, cold days. The lack of special profiling on the index finger makes it difficult to precisely operate the trigger at the shooting range. They do not support touchscreens – every time you need to put them on and take them off. You could get a similar effect by buying cheap gloves at a market.

For current conditions, the gloves are a bit too warm, especially at around 0°C, but that’s actually a plus. The glove length is just right, but they are a little tight in the circumference, which takes some getting used to. As for the workmanship – no complaints.

I have been using these gloves for quite some time and can confidently recommend them. They are very warm, perfectly fitted, and solidly made. A practical addition is the clip connecting the gloves. The ability to use a touchscreen is also important.

The workmanship of the gloves is very good, finished with attention to detail. They are not recommended for -10°C, but in the range of 0–10°C they work great when biking to work. Sizing is fine, no complaints. I recommend them.

Gloves very solidly made, size matches the chart on the website. Seams are durable, they are warm and hold well in hand. Durable – they don’t wear out quickly like products from other brands. Highly recommend!

Looking for cycling gloves for cold, early morning temperatures, I tested them during bad weather and rain. At 10°C, they are a bit too warm, but they provide excellent insulation. Comfortable, size L was just right, so the sizing chart is accurate. Really a great purchase, I recommend them with a clear conscience.
