I bought these gloves with bike riding in mind for colder, sometimes rainy days (in light frost). On a daily basis, I cover routes in the city for several kilometers. The gloves work great – they’re warm, comfortable, and don’t get soaked during autumn or winter drizzle or light rain. The quality of the product itself seems solid to me.
Mil-Tec Softshell Thinsulate Winter Gloves - Phantomleaf WASP I Z3A
Winter gloves featuring Phantomleaf WASP I Z3A camouflage are crafted from premium softshell, a blend of polyester and elastane. The outer layer is lightweight, flexible, and offers excellent moisture resistance while promoting air circulation. The interior boasts a fleece lining and an inner layer of Thinsulate insulation from 3M, ensuring robust protection against cold weather.
softshell, fleece lining, thinsulate, reinforced gripping area
The design incorporates softshell material, composed of a blend of polyester and elastane. This fabric offers a combination of abrasion resistance and flexibility, making it ideal for challenging weather conditions and rigorous use.
The interior features a soft fleece lining, enhancing thermal comfort. Simultaneously, the 3M Thinsulate insulation preserves heat efficiently and expels excess moisture, thus maintaining a dry and comfortable internal environment.
The grip area is fortified with a polyurethane layer that possesses anti-slip characteristics. This enhances grip reliability — even in wet conditions — and boosts durability in high-wear zones.
touchscreen
The thumb, index, and middle fingers have a TouchScreen-compatible insert, enabling touchscreen use without needing to remove the gloves.
elastic cuffs, plastic buckles
Elastic cuffs guarantee a tight fit around the wrists, enhancing comfort and blocking cold air from penetrating. These gloves also feature plastic buckles that allow them to be clipped together, making storage and transport more convenient.
Phantomleaf WASP I Z3A camouflage
WASP I represents a groundbreaking collection of Phantomleaf Civ-Tec camouflage designs crafted exclusively for Mil-Tec. These Phantomleaf patterns are developed using sophisticated digital analysis of the terrain where each variant aims to offer effective concealment. The integrated algorithm also considers movement and other variables, enhancing the patterns' adaptability across diverse conditions. Simultaneously, Phantomleaf camouflages are distinct enough to ensure efficient “friend or foe” recognition among soldiers on the battlefield or during an ASG game.
The WASP I Z3A variant excels in regions with dense green vegetation, including deciduous and coniferous forests and tropical jungles. It also retains effective camouflage capabilities in suburban and rural locales where green agricultural fields, scrublands, and grassy areas prevail. This provides an innovative alternative to US Woodland or PenCott Wildwood camouflage.

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

The gloves are well made and match the description. I wore them today in minus 5 degrees and was surprised how warm they kept me. I didn’t expect that. How long they will last remains to be seen. My dog's leash is a tough opponent. As always, delivery was very fast.
-
These gloves finally met my expectations, which positively 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 none of them allowed me to comfortably type on my phone – only these “military” ones made such an impression on me. I definitely recommend them to people serving in the military, especially in the field or on the training ground. For a woman’s hand I chose size S – it fits perfectly.
-
Great, exceptionally warm gloves. Nowadays, city winters are milder, so these gloves are absolutely suitable. I think it's a very successful 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 work great on cold days. They fit the hand well and do not restrict movement.
-
The gloves were bought with winter mountain trips in mind (without extreme conditions). They're comfortable, warm, and work well with trekking poles. After one season there are no signs of wear.
-
The gloves are quite comfortable, although despite fitting the hand circumference, they turned out a bit too big. Despite this, so far they are doing their job and are being used. They are rather suitable for colder days – today during some light climbing in 4°C, they started warming my hands toward the end of use.
-
These are the best winter gloves I have had so far! They are very warm, effectively protect against wind, cold, and moisture. At the same time, they're comfortable, and doing different activities in them is not difficult. I use them for cycling in the winter, and they work perfectly.
-
The gloves fulfill their function well. The combination of wind protection and insulation provides pleasant warmth on cold days. Fortunately, they are not too large, so they are 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. It's hard to find a better choice at this price. They work perfectly for everyday use.
-
At temperatures below -12, you don't feel 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 comfort. Compared to sports gloves, these perform much better. I recommend them.
-
Mil-Tec Softshell Thinsulate winter gloves keep your hands warm even on windy, cold days. They are solid, comfortable, and fit well. The anti-slip material on the palm improves grip. There is material on three fingers of each glove that allows you to operate touchscreens. Highly recommended.
-
The gloves insulate heat well, fit comfortably on the hands, and perform well in winter conditions. The winter camouflage works very well. I recommend carefully checking the size chart – I pick Mechanix in size L, but Mil-Tec was better in M.
-
Very good gloves – comfortable, well-fitted to the hands, and warm. They effectively insulate from the cold. They seem durable and well-made; only time will tell how long they last. Overall, I recommend them.
