Instigator 3-Fingermitts - Adult

Great fit for my son. A good balance between warmth and control.

The gloves arrived with an obvious rip in one of the seams. I returned them this weekend and bought another brand.

Bought XLs, the left glove fits well and the right glove is way smaller, can barely fit my hand in, rendering the gloves totally uncomfortable and pretty much useless. And I know my hands are not completely different sizes.

I ordered two different pairs of gloves from Auclair, thinking they would be good quality. The other pair is off too. Clearly Auclair has some pretty glaring quality control issues in their factories, wherever they are being made now.

Based on this experience, I would not recommend this brand to anyone.

They were warm, and felt durable. Likely this is a good product as I have had similar items from Auclair in the past and they are a reputable brand. However, this glove fell apart in about a month for me. The pads on the back came out and then the rest is history. It only happened on one glove making me believe that maybe I just had a faulty glove (the other glove seems to be going strong). I am a ski coach and I rely on having good clothing that functions well, and this did not meet my expectation given my experience with Auclair in the past.

First time out with the instigators a boarder bailed into me. The end of the board smashed into my hand and the EVA padded protection took the entire blow saving me from what easily could have been a broken hand and the end of a ski trip.
In the end not even a sore hand just a bent pole and a good video. (Contact me for a copy)
