Extremities says: 

Designed with both performance and functionality in mind, the Commuter Gloves are fully waterproof and insulated, ensuring your hands stay warm and dry no matter the weather. Crafted without harmful PFCs, they’re an eco-friendly choice that don’t compromise on performance.

Our Verdict

The Extremities Commuter Gloves are excellent for wet and chilly commutes. The PrimaLoft Gold Eco insulation delivers impressive warmth without adding bulk, earning bonus points for its eco-friendly credentials. Weighing just 117g for a medium pair, these gloves are lightweight, waterproof and robust, with a reinforced palm that provides added durability for everyday wear.

The touchscreen-compatible fingertips work as intended, making it easy to scroll through apps or switch podcasts without exposing your hands to the cold. Adjustable cuffs ensure a snug fit, keeping draughts firmly at bay, while the reflective panel adds a layer of safety during dark winter evenings. While they shine in urban settings and casual outings like strolls or dog walks, these gloves might not meet the demands of extreme weather or technical hikes.

Overall, the Commuter Gloves balance style, functionality, and comfort, making them an ideal choice for navigating urban winters.
