Nice and comfy
Good gloves for hiking
These were sold to us under a completely different name and purpose: Riding a bike. But think about it creatively and you might see why we've dubbed them "combat" gloves...
Austrians excel at making unassuming yet fantastic implements and this certainly falls in that category. A comfortable, protected glove with a hard wearing fabric for mobility, and leather for durability. They come padded on the palm & knuckles, which comes in handy for a boatload of different outdoor activities if you catch our drift (we like to pretend we're Ryan Gosling and wear them while driving, too). Given their leather construction, they'll hold up a lot better than a pair of Mechanix too.
A nice touch on the wrist is the hook and loop strap for refining the fit and a clip for keeping the gloves together when you're not wearing them.
Notes: As these are surplus, the leather might have some patina. A quick once-over with your favorite leather cleaner and conditioner can really bring it back to being supple & flexible.
Condition
Gloves have seen use, but remain in great condition. Minor scuffs, marks, or signs of wear present. No holes, tears, or cuts.

Really nice gloves, I usually wear large size gloves for US gloves and ordered a 2XL size and they fit perfectly. They're much more durable and higher quality than the Mechanix gloves I have. The left glove is a little bit more worn than the right but it's really no problem. Haven't taken these out to the range yet but, I highly recommend these gloves. Thank you!
Great fitting gloves, if you go up a size. Very breathable on the back, but the leather feels solid and thick. Can't wait for it to warm up, these just may be my new motorcycle gloves.
I have long skinny fingers, mediums fit well. I'd say a fairly normal fit. A couple of the fingers on one of the gloves were melty or something, chemical exposure? I put them on a hot wash cycle and stuffed chopsticks in the fingers and they are wearable, still look a little funky. They don't feel particularly high quality, but I trust them not to fall apart. Velcro is a little worn. Better than whatever you'd get off Amazon.
