REVIEW: Outdoor Research Halberd Gloves

Already on the market for a while, they have always intrigued us. The Outdoor Research Halberd Gloves. We treated ourselves to a pair and are presenting it to you today in a short review. At a glance: front and back of the gloves. The outside features breathable mesh with Spandex, allowing the glove to move with ease. A large Velcro closure ensures a secure fit. The knuckles and back of the hand are additionally protected by rubber applications.This protection is also found on the thumb.Now to the inside. Here, several interesting features of the glove are hidden.For example, perforated synthetic leather for better cooling. The major contact points when the hand is closed are further reinforced by an additional layer. Silicone dots provide extra grip. What must not be missing in a modern glove is touchscreen compatibility. Smartphones can be operated with the index finger and thumb. So you can swipe in the field too.

We had to test it, and it works perfectly. It's not Tinder, but SPARTANAT Instagram is also a lot of fun. Check it out!

The fingertip is adorned with the "Sensor" marking. The glove also has a large opening at the wrist to attach a carabiner. Under the large hole, you can see the sun shining through the ventilation holes on the palm. The gloves are designed for warm weather. The glove turned inside out. Left the back of the hand. Right the palm. For our model, we chose size M. Previously, the Ironsight glove was worn in size Small and it was a bit tight. The Halberd Gloves in M are now a good fit. Clearly made in China.

CONCLUSION: Lightweight, breathable gloves with all the features you would expect in a modern glove. The back of the hand is not as wind-permeable as desired, so it can get very warm above 30°C during activities. Otherwise, the OR quality speaks for itself, leaving nothing to criticize and more to admire. Agile, flexible gloves with a great feel.

Available in various stores in Black and Coyote colors, like HERE at Armamat for 54.90 euros.
