Vallerret Markhof Pro 2.0 Winter Photography Glove

These fit me well and I can’t speak for the warmth yet as I haven’t tested them in the cold yet. They appear to be nice and when the finger caps are on, it is a comfortable glove.However, for the price, I was amazed how sloppy the finger openings were. They required some cleaning up and slight enlarging as it appears to cut open hastily with a box cutter. The index finger on one of them was barely cut open at all. Finger openings are still a bit tight, post cleanup, and doesn’t look like how an $80 glove should be.*Photos are after cleaning up the finger hole mess.

I bought these gloves per their sizing chart, which was incorrect. Tried to switch sizes and Vallerret wants me to be responsible for return shipping IN ADDITION to the shipping I already paid to get them. The seller Issued a refund, meaning that if I turned around and buy the correct size, I would have to pay shipping a 3rd time. Terrible experience, low quality glove for the high pricetag. Look elsewhere. These aren't anything I couldn't buy anywhere else for a fraction of the price, then cut fingerholes into them (which is essentially what Vallerret has done). Again, poor quality.

Order a size larger than you might expect to need. I used these in the Arctic for doing photography of the Northern Lights and, while, the open fingers are convenient for camera work, overall, the gloves are not that warm even at temperatures in the +20s F. Indeed, I found my old motorcycle gloves to be considerably warmer while, of course, lacking the convenience of the open fingers. So, a mixed review.

This glove is made to protect your hands in cold but not freezing (ie not below 32 Degrees F) temperatures. I have attached a photo of the Vallerret glove next to a glove that I find comfortable down to about 20 degrees F. (The Valleret glove is on top). As you can see it has much less insulation and is much thinner than the other glove. For reference, both gloves are XL size.The Vallerret glove is well made. I did not have sloppily cut openings as I saw in other ratings. It is what I expected and I will use it even in the colder temperatures by wearing my thicker gloves while not using my camera and then changing (maybe only one glove) to the Vallerrets since they are definitely better than an un-gloved hand.

Glad I had a discount coupon for these expensive gloves. They did not prove to be as good as I expected. The opening to expose your finger tips is too small and the gloves were not as warm as others I had. I ended up using chemical hand warmers in other gloves that I cut finger tip slits in myself. Hoped to use these in Antarctica but they weren't warm enough.

As a photographer in northern Michigan, I have always needed a good pair of Photography gloves for our frigid winters. I bought these at the tail end of winter in the transition to spring, so I don't yet have deep winter experience to include, but so far they've impressed me. The material seems very durable and they are warm enough. The top pockets looks just big enough to stick a hand warmer in, but haven't needed to try that yet.

These work great for all sorts of winter action. As mentioned, they fit slim so they work great for early morning driving and etc. without using the flip finger at all. For winter shot days, the flip fingers come in really handy (I've been using the full mitten to half glove style for years).I got the grey, and really dig the way they look. The pattern is hard to see in the amazon pics, but looks really sharp.

The Vallerret Markhof Pro 2.0 photography gloves met my expectations with their warm and ability to expose thumb and index finger for manipulating my camera.Sizing wise, according to their size guide, I was on the lower end of the Large size. I had hopes that I could, if needed, use the liners from my Vallerret mittens, as an additional layer should that be necessary. However, these gloves are actual very slightly smaller than the sizing guide!As such, if you measure your hand and are in a particular range (ex. I was in the Large range) and you want the extra room needed for the Vallerret liners, you will want to go up one size.

Quality is just “ok”. The price is in the design aspect of being able to reveal your fingertips.The sizing chart is terrible. Order 1 size up from the recommended size. They may meant to be “snug” but if you go by the sizing chart you will find the gap between your index finger and thumb will be too tight and you won’t be able to open your palm all the way. Also worth considering leaving that extra little bit of space for an inner liner because the slit in the fingers doesn’t seal very well when closed, allowing cold air to seep through.I am going through the returns process to get a size larger, but it’s a hassle as I need these gloves in 3 weeks which doesn’t allow much wiggle room for problems to occur.If there were alternative options that would give me access to my camera controls, I would consider them greatly over these gloves.Unfortunately these are the best in this very niche market.

I bought these gloves for my wife for Christmas who is an amateur photographer, but suffers from cold hands. She was very pleased with them as they are warm whilst still able to fiddle with the camera settings.Me. … well I don't have the same problem as I keep my hands in my pockets when its cold, its cheaper.

So far so good, the withers not been too harsh yet, these are designed for photographers and currently work extremely well in providing enough control of the camera whilst keeping your hands warm.

These gloves have been perfect for keeping my hands warm whilst taking photos in the cold weather. They are a brilliant design and very stylish (People have commented on them when I am wearing them). The flip over finger and thumb tips make using my camera a doddle without my hands freezing. I would really recommend them. Also the gloves grip is exceptional. Not only so I can hold my camera securely, but also for holding my keys, phone and other items you may not want to drop in the snow or puddles. If you haven't already got a pair, you should.

Extremely well made product and the flip over finger ends do exactly what they say on the tin and are excellent for photographers who need to operate in cold weather. Beware the sizing seems to be rather small !

These were a good buy overall. Having the removable finger and thumb-tips for camera operation is very useful. I didn't find them quite as warm as I had been expecting!

Great gloves with excellent design features. Delivery was really fast and customer service was superb.

Despite the high cost, these gloves are extremely warm & the fingers seal well around the access hole. Hope they last!

Ich persönlich kann diese Vallerret Markhof Pro Model 2.0 Fotografen Handschuhe nicht empfehlen!Das Erste was einem nach dem auspacken auffällt, ist die nicht saubere Verarbeitung.Die Finger sind bei bei beiden Handschuhen unterschiedlich genäht. Das deutet auf schnell gefertigte Massenwarehin.An den Daumen haben sich schon die ersten Fäden gebildet.Zieht man den Handschuh an, bemerkte ich an zwei Fingern innen, dass die Vernähung zu grob war. Diese schlechteVernähung spürt man die ganze Zeit an den Fingerkuppen, was das Tragegefühl sehr stark negativ beeinträchtigt.Wie man auf dem eingenähten Label sieht, darf man diese Handschuhe weder waschen noch chemisch reinigen.Dies ist ein K.O Kriterium, da jeder Handschuh nicht nur aussen, sondern auch durch eigenes Hautfett verschmutzt.Der Hersteller schreibt auf seiner Webseite, man dürfte diese waschen aber natürlich, und für mich auch verständlich,nicht in den Trockner legen. Bezüglich Gewährleistung muss ich mich nach dem Label richten. Zudem schreibt der Hersteller, dass er einmal ausgepackte und getragene Ware nicht zurück nimmt.Das macht für mich keinen Sinn als Verbraucher und entspricht auch nicht den gesetzlichen Vorgaben für Bestellungüber das Internet an die sich Verkäufer halten müssen.Bezüglich Wärme der Handschuhe: Ich bin hier einig mit dem Hersteller, dass das Wärmegefühl je nach Mensch unterschiedlich ist. Trotz alledem sind diese leider nicht warm genug und das schon bei +5 bis - 3 GradDickere Modelle würde ich wiederum nicht empfehlen, da dies in der Bedienung mit der Kamera schwierig werden könnte.Tut mir leid, aber für mich sind diese Handschuhe nicht brauchbar.

Great product but recommend a size bigger than you think you might need. Great service from seller in dealing with the exchange.

Das sind suuuper Handschuhe! Da ich sehr schnell kalte Finger in der Kälte und beim Fotografieren bekomme, waren die Handschuhe für mich das Beste! Bei -15 Grad im Schnee und am Wasserfall habe ich locker 2 Stunden verbringen können - ohne kalte Finger. Habe natürlich die Finger zum Einstellen der Kamera immer wieder herausgenommen aus den Fingerlingen und dann zwischendurch wieder reingesteckt. Absolute 1 A Qalität und Verarbeitung. Den Preis sind sie wert!!

Die Handschuhe sind sehr praktisch beim Fotografieren. Die umklappbaren Fingerkuppen an beiden Händen haben sich schon oft als sehr nützlich erwiesen. Ich werde mir dennoch die Merino Liner vom selben Hersteller besorgen, da die Wärme beim Öffnen der Fingerkuppen doch sehr schnell entweicht und man nach ein paar Mal die Hände nicht mehr warm bekommt. Bin meistens unterwegs gewesen bei Temperaturen um die 10 Grad.

Ausgezeichnetes Produkt, in der angegebenen Zeit angekommen, tadellose Verpackung,Wenn es einmal abgenutzt zu sein scheint, bleiben die Hände selbst bei sehr niedrigen Temperaturen, ausgezeichneter Empfindlichkeit und Griffigkeit am Körper lange warm.Die Möglichkeit, die Spitzen von Daumen und Zeigefinger zu entdecken, ist sehr nützlich.Alles, was sie kosten, ist es wert, empfohlen zu werden.

I was a bit skeptic about if they would be warm enough. I'm very pleased to have used them on our trip to Iceland during winter. Got my hands warmed and very easy to use the camera. Good grip.

Handschuh mit guter Passform. Umklappbarer Zeigerfinger und Daumen reichen vollkommen aus
