Great gear, great service

Both styles of gloves are exactly as described. They work very well.
Service was tops too. I'd ordered the wrong size, exchanging them was really easy - thankyou.

Glove review

Gloves are great for photography when the wind chill is uncomfortable.

XT-850 Premium Photography Gloves

I bought these a couple of months ago but wanted to provide my thoughts after I had actually used them in the field. Exceptionally well thought out design and construction. I didn't think I would use the third flip up tip, but I'm finding it gives more feel on the zoom ring. I love that they are waterproof after sitting in the rain for hours. I have only had water resistance before, so it's a game-changer for me. Do they actually keep your hands warm? Absolutely!!! With a wind chill of around 5-6oC, I shot for hours and my hands were warm (not hot). I suffer from Raynaud's syndrome and for the first time in years I did not have numb, painful fingers!!!! The inclusion of a pocket for hand warmers is SUCH a good feature that most gloves do not provide. I tried them out with cheap handwarmers, just to see how much difference they would make ... and I was VERY impressed! The zip closure is a good idea. I can't imagine any conditions, that I shoot in, where my hands will not be comfortable. I have now bought the Optex hand warmers for the really cold, wet and windy days. The fact that they last for a whole days shooting is great.
Some observations that might help: at first I found the gloves a bit bulky and stiff ... BUT I would suggest wearing them and opening/closing your hands BEFORE your first shoot in the field. They have become much more pliable so that I can wrap my hands around the camera mush more easily/comfortably with the "bulky/stiff" feel gone. I found that, for me, sometimes I felt like I wanted slightly more finger exposed to "feel" the camera a bit more. So I now pull done the finger material just a little and I'm happy with that. Because my hands are now warm, I didn't really feel that my finger tips suffered at all which is SUCH a relief after years of pain and numbness.
If you are looking for superior photo gloves, I would highly recommend these. Warm, comfortable (after initial stiffness), waterproof and the bonus of having a pocket for handwarmers when the temperature really drops (Australia). I was looking at gloves made overseas until I came across OTEX ... an Australian company. Support has been brilliant. Informative and personalised which, sadly, is not always the case with other businesses I have dealt with.

G'day Ace, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and positive review of our XT-850 Premium Photography Gloves. We are thrilled to hear that they have been a game-changer for you, especially in helping with your Raynaud's syndrome. We are also glad that you have found the third flip up tip and pocket for hand warmers to be useful features. We appreciate your suggestion of wearing them and moving your fingers before shooting to help with the initial stiffness. Thank you again for your recommendation and we hope our gloves continue to provide warmth and comfort for all your future shoots. Happy photography! Best regards, Mark
