Customer Review: **REVIEW FOR MANUAL WHEELCHAIR USERS/ PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES**
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been postponing this review so that I could give the most detailed explanation of Youngstown Glove Co.'s Waterproof XT Gauntlets, to more fully benefit those who are in A similar situation. First, as the title dictates, I am a manual wheelchair user (10 years+). My disability is Spina Bifida, L4, with full use of abdomen muscles and up. I live in MN. I purchased these gloves in early January, in the middle of Minnesota's traditional bitter and biting winter.
I wanted a glove that would allow me to be pushing in moderate snow fall and drifting (6 inches, give or take) while keeping my hands dry, and thus, warmer. The week before I purchased these gloves, the windchill fell well below -30 F, so I thought these gloves would be good for staying moderately warm in said weather. I also wanted a glove that would allow me good hand and wrist dexterity for pushing and putting together my wheelchair and getting my chair in and out of my car. Not to mention keeping the gloves on to do any activity I'm engaged in at the time.
To more fully explain the four stars, let me start by saying that I did have quite high expectations for this product. My needs were great, and, luckily, were largely met. Right out of the box and into the month, the gloves held together with all padding, seams and fabric staying in place and whole. The rubberized sections are especially beneficial to grip of most any objects. The extended opening, for the most part, keeps snow out of the coat sleeves, the only trouble I had was tightening the drawstrings on the bottom of the openings (It should also be noted here that I DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE GLOVES FOR PEOPLE WITH CEREBRAL PALSY AND OTHER FINE-MOTOR RELATED DISABILITIES, more on this later).
In terms of warmth, these gloves work nicely in temperatures above minus 10 degrees (-10 F) for less than 2 hours. I have not tested them for longer times, but LOWER TEMPS do see a decrease in warmth time, even while staying active. I could have gone with slightly more insulation.
What I would call "moisture integrity" began to falter when approaching the two hour mark. It's also important to note that, when at less cold temperatures (say, +20 degrees F), the gloves were feeling slightly moist within an hour. Even so, I do admit it is less important to stay dry at higher temps.
One area that will be a struggle for some is the size of the gloves for what you think is the "proper size" for your hand. I do feel I could have gotten a XL pair and saved myself the trouble of "breaking-in" the gloves the first week or two, but the gloves do fit me well now. However, this is also the major reason I do not recommend these gloves to people with more severe disabilities. Even at larger sizes (and smaller hands) the gloves are hard to get on, and may end up being torn on the inside of the glove.
All in all, I am pleased with my purchase, and plan on having these gloves around for at least a couple years. Hopefully this review helps someone in deciding to purchase a high-quality,waterproof, winter-weather glove.
