The Gordini Snow Ranger Glove offers a bare-bones approach with a simple yet effective design. The gloves have a minimalist aesthetic that looks and feels great, making them a stylish choice for cold weather activities.
Gordini Snow Ranger Warmth
The Gordini Snow Ranger gloves come with a removable fleece liner making the gloves warmer than I anticipated. I could wear these gloves on most days but I would recommend going to a larger glove on the especially cold days. I found the gloves were mobile and easy to use. A little extra dexterity can go a long way in the backcountry.
Waterproof
A common issue with leather gloves is the development of wet spots, but the Snow Ranger gloves seem to handle moisture well, keeping your hands dry in snowy or wet conditions.
Durability
There are some durability concerns with these gloves. After only a few wears, the outer layer on the middle finger began to peel, which is disappointing considering the quality of other Gordini items. I’ve worn other leather Gordini gloves all season and they still look brand new. I’m confident Gordini can fix this issue.
Gordini Snow Ranger Fit and Features
The Snow Rangers fit like a charm and just feel good to wear. They have an open cuff with an elastic wrist to ensure the fit snug. It’s worth noting that the Snow Ranger gloves do not come with leashes, which may be a downside for some users who prefer the added security of having their ski gloves attached to their wrists.

Pros:

Overall Impression
Overall, the Gordini Snow Ranger Glove ($119.95) is a solid choice for those looking for a simple and stylish glove that offers good warmth and protection. However, potential buyers should be aware of the durability issues when making their purchase decision.
