I expected the felt lining of my Great Northern Choppers to be somewhat heavier, however, coupled with a pair of your wool liners they are quite comfortable. Although I usually wear a large, I took your fitting advise and purchased your medium size. They fit just right. Even with the liners they are comfortably roomy. Their material and construction present a quality product that I know will provide warm and dependable service for years to come.
I expect Daniel Greysolon du Lhut, the 16th century Quebec fur trader/coureur for whom your City of Duluth is named, would have delighted at the opportunity to trade you a few pelts for a fine pair of your Great Northern Choppers...let alone your whole catalogue of traditional high-quality outdoor adventure goods. From design to material and craftmanship, he would agree you folks do it right.
All the best from Ontario
I have large hands and poor circulation. I bought these gloves to bike to work in the winter and to work in the woods when it is cold. The extra large choppers give me more than enough room to use a variety liners with them. And the liners from Frost River (sold separately) are large and warm as well. Love them. Only warm hands biking to work with my Choppers. :)
It’s hard to understand just how great Frost River products are until you see them in person. Truly fantastic choppers that will last a long time. All my winter camping buddies are ordering a pair after they tried mine.
I do wish the leather came with some kind of water proofing. The leather just soaks water right up, so I recommend you order their leather cream.
I ordered the wrong size. Technicaly challenged I guess. Waiting for the exchanged ones to get here.
I bought my choppers for winter biking. Last week on a longer 20F morning ride, my hands were so toasty I had to take them off. Usually even with choppers, my hands start to get cold after 1.5hrs but I rode on for 3 plus without a problem. I've got enough room in there for some base layer gloves, but don't think I'll need them. Shifting and braking was no big deal, even with an larger than usual size. The extended cuff really kept the cold out. I'll see how they handle negative temps but am thoroughly satisfied. FYI Trust the sizing, my hands barely measured Large but thought the extra space was needed for the cold, so I got a XL. The sizing was spot on and went back to a large with an exchange (which they were great about).
