The Backstop Gloves™ by Outdoor Research are a technical liner designed for high-energy activities offering wind protection (WINDSTOPPER® lining on the back of the hand) and breathability (on the palm).
Lightweight and simple, these gloves are great for chilly (nothing more) days when you want to keep your hands warm. A handy snap-clip keeps the gloves together when not in use.
- If soaked, they do take a while to dry out.
- The “grippy sticky” tracks aren’t terribly durable
- Not good around fire, sparks, flames…
