Did you order the same size as the Gen1?
Thanks for the comparison pics. The fingers look less bulky on the AL so increasing the dexterity.

Yep, same size.
One sizing side note. I run medium in glove but sized up for mitt. Not sure if that is standard but im happy with my choice.
I wonder what the idea behind making the full leather gloves were, as the main ethos of the brand seems to be the importance of breathability. Would love to hear a bit more about it.
He man, how are the AL gloves working out?Quote:

I like the MX glove, but it needs booger wiper soft fabric on the back of the thumb.

You have to sno seal them first, or they won't work.Quote:

My FTP gauntlet s are kicking ass on this bitter cold weather.
what did you have? I have a pair of L original short cuffs I could pass on.Quote:

Will come back and give proper props and review but after 4 days, i'm really digging my FTP spring gloves. Time will tell but as someone who has yet to have a pair of hestras make it longer than 2.5 seasons (with multiple pairs in rotation too) these seem to have >90% of the dexterity and >2x the durability.
Size L fits perfect. Im a very snug 9, sometimes 10 in Hestra fwiw.
I know this is their "Spring" glove but we rarely get real cold out here in PNWet and i run warm, hands included so these are plenty warm for vast majority of days for me and certainly warmer than the Hestra Ski Cross they are replacing.
@ $45/pair without any sort of a discount these are a Helluva deal.
FTP FTMFW!

So stoked... My FTP mitts with removable liners have been my all time favorite to date and had to get a pair of their spring gloves... The quality is the same, but the overall fit and finish has def improved over the years...Quote:

when you fill out the form during check out, just say that you heard about them on TGR in the appropriate field. They automatically gave me a small discount.Quote:

Loving the FTP Spring Glove, just the right amount of insulation for those warmer days.
I also have the FTP Long Cuff Glove (non removable liner) for colder days.
Perfect glove combination for a great price!
I haven't used my spring glove yet, but it seems like a good one. The mtn bike glove was very good in the right temp. It was a little too hot above 75 or so for me compared to a thinner more breathable synthetic in the EC sweat box.
It will be interesting to see where FTP goes from here. I think pigskin is a better material for dexterity, breathability and handles moisture better. I believe it is cheaper as well. And of course...bacon.
These are super awesome, I could not be more stoked on the mitts and gloves. Ordered both in a short cuff as that is more my style.
Quality seems great and I am actually a huge fan of the insulated short cuff. They keep my hands warm like nothing else I have worn.
Note on sizing:
I wear a 9 in hestras, but always feel a bit short length wise in the mitts.
Ordered both mitts and gloves in both a L and M to try and ended up keeping the mitts in a L due to more length and the M in the gloves for great snug fit and dexterity.
Free the powder!

as far as durability,i have close to 150 long days on my FTP gloves, they are still going strong,they still keep my hands toasty till around o degrees.i rarely use my FTP mittens,but this last cold spill in the NE had temps as low as -30 degrees and my mittens keep my hands toasty for hours at a time.
What are people doing to treat the leather? SnoSeal, FTP cream, Hestra cream, mink oil, nothing???
I do snoseal
(Don’t do mink oil)
The FTP cream works pretty well for a simple/no heat solution, but I don't use my FTP's on warm enough days to see much water so take that FWIW.
I snow seal the leather. I'm sure FTP cream is better but I've got snoseal, it works, and it's cheap.Quote:

I've been using the FTP cream too with good results, even in the wet pnw.Quote:

Do, they do not... Before getting turned onto FTP I wore Swany mitts with the individual fingers inside that I liked, but they did not keep my hands as warm as the FTP... My hands breath better in the FTP and I never owned a mitt with the removable liner and can say I never will own a mitt that does not have a removable liner again... The past couple of weeks I have been skiing in temps ranging anywhere from 5 degrees to -10 degrees and my mitts always kept my hands warm... When I would go in for a break I would take the liners out and put them near a heater an in about 10 min they were toast warm...Quote:

Still rocking the first editons and they are solid. Re-snoseal them every year and they are dry and good down to 0F, although you could take them a little lower.

What's that vehicle setup you got going there?Quote:

I had amazingly good results last year wearing the mittens with glove liners. I sized up one size and carried two sets of liners, wearing one or both depending on conditions. I was in chemo last year and extremely sensitive to temps going too low or sweating, so I was really focused on it. Paying attention and adjusting early was key, but doing that I never had a problem staying warm enough. Only issue I had was overheating with chemical hand warmers. I don't remember temps, but I got out on a few really good/light days so I'm sure this saw single digits. The breathability of this setup is hudgely important, too.
Anyone have the spring gloves? What do you think of them? I'm looking at replacing some Oakley park gloves that tend to get wet from my sweaty hands, they stay damp for too long after.
Great gloves. They're Thicker and warmer then Rossi spring gloves.Quote:

I agree with the above, they are a little thicker than most spring gloves, but they breathe so well that I dont get sweaty. Fit is a bit tighter than the other gloves, but dexterous as fuck.
Make sure to remove the mittens while in the potty.Quote:
