Need a great glove for winter hikes and jogging? Then, Seirus Gloves
are for you.Need a great glove for cross country skiing, skijoring or other "winter exercise using your hands & grip"? Then, Seirus Gloves
are NOT for you.Had you asked me just 3 years ago, I would have given Seirus a 5-star, all thumbs up review as a great, durable glove for aerobic winter activities. At the time, my primary winter exercising consisted of hiking, jogging and trail running with my older/adult Siberian Huskies. As an extremely aerobic activity, Seirus Gloves
were wonderful in wicking the moisture away from my hands while keeping them warm.Then my life's husky mix changed: we got a Siberian Husky puppy. Having a puppy means you are doing a lot of "leash correction" and I learned that Seirus Gloves
are not nearly as durable as I thought when hiking/running with a husky under 2 years old - the gloves last less than one winter season when you need to grip the leash frequently... The gloves get a 1-star rating for "durability under extreme use."Then my life's activity mix changed: I started cross country skiing and eventually skijoring (cross country skiing while attached to my Siberian Huskies). Since cross country skiing is so aerobic, I originally believed that Seirus Gloves
would be an excellent choice for moisture wicking and warmth. Gong - I was wrong! With the constant gripping and driving of the ski poles, I found the thumb in these gloves to wear out in less than 6 uses! The gloves get a 1-star rating for "durability in cross country skiing."So, why am I still going with an overall rating of 3-star? Well, it is all in the averages... If your use is wintertime hiking/jogging without any use of your hands - 5 star. If your use is any aerobic activity using your hands for grip - 1 star. An average of 3 stars: great for some activities, terrible for others.
