The zipper works best with you mouth as you typically have the other hand holding your camera. For how thin they are, they are amazingly warm.

So far, so good. These gloves feel great, although very snug. The real test comes in three weeks when I head to Iceland and Greenland. Will report back with an update!

I measured my hand following the size guide instruction and i got the right size, considering that my hands are huge i must say that the reviews considering the gloves too small are wrong.

Great product, perfect for cold weather photographers

This is the type of company I want to support. The thumb on one of my gloves wore too quickly and they just sent me a new pair no questions asked. 👍👍👍

It’s fantastic for winter photography. So happy I have a pair now.

Ipsoot Photography Glove

I am posting this from my vacation in Iceland, where temperatures have varied from 0-12C. The gloves were amazing to use on the colder days, especially with the wind chill. The finger and thumb openings are very quick and easy to use, making all the difference for changing settings on the camera. Living in Canada, after many years of cold hands, these gloves will be a welcome addition. The quality of the gloves is very high, and the synthetic grip on the palms is very good.

Used these gloves for a photoshoot at 8000ft in elevation with temps near 18 degrees. Hands were nice and toasty. These gloves don't fit my hands perfectly (no ones hands are the same) but they worked amazingly.

Haven't had an occasion to use them yet, but they look and feel great!

A qualidade das luvas é impressionante. Muito boas.

Vale cada centavo.

O atendimento ao consumidor é perfeito!

I recently purchased a pair of Markhof Pro 2.0 gloves (with Primaloft liners), and my wife purchased the Women's Nordic, for a trip to Iceland. We visited in late March and the weather was mid 20's to mid 30's F, wicked winds, rain, and driving snow. I have to say that these gloves were worth every penny! I am an amateur photographer (meaning i make zero bucks from my pics) so i was reluctant to spend a chunk of cash on photography gloves. However, after a week in varying weather conditions in Iceland, i am very happy that I invested in these gloves. They made my time outdoors very comfortable and the gloves were more useful than i originally anticipated. That is, not only were they great for keeping my hands warm while photographing, but they were also great for being able to pop my finger tips out to access zippers, credit cards, etc. Our coldest night was photographing the northern lights, so i used the gloves, liners, and inserted a small chemical hand warmer in the zippered pouch on the back of the gloves. That combination kept my hands very warm - i realized how warm when i would pull my finger tips out to take pics and handle my gear - it was very cold outside. I would not have enjoyed the experience nearly as much without the gloves. During the daytime, i just used my gloves and they were more than adequate. We got soaked by rain and waves a couple of times, and the gloves were waterproof as advertised. Regarding size, we both ordered two sizes of each, picked the best fitting pair, then returned the others for a small return shipping fee; spending this much on gloves, i wanted to be sure i had the best fit possible. Lastly, Vallerret's customer service was top notch to deal with regarding sizing and returns. If you are on the fence, i say go for it. I am very happy i spent the money on these high quality gloves and i know i will get many years of use from them.

Ordered these in February, didn't really have a chance to try them out until March. When I tried them on, the Left glove didn't fit right (the index finger was pinched). Vallerret sent out new replacements immediately, before I had even returned the defective ones! New ones fit great, and really keep my hands warm while I'm out on open fields shooting sports like LAX and Track & Field. Love these!

I had a milder Wisconsin winter day to take these gloves out for the first time. They seem like they will work well for my needs. They are comfortable to wear and don't feel balky like some others I've tried.

They are exactly what I was looking for and I am looking forward to seeing how they work for me in Iceland!! The gloves came super quick too I ordered them at night mid week and they were delivered by Friday of that week! Also emailed the company for help about choosing which glove to purchase and they really helped me narrow it down to these! I will add to this post once I return from Iceland 😊

Markhof Pro 2.0 Photography Glove

These gloves have exceeded my expectations. I wish I would have gotten them sooner. They fit great and keep my hands warm. I just need to get used to keeping them on as I have always taken my gloves on and off on the past.

I had tried two other less expensive brands of photography gloves and found both to be lacking, either inflexible or not warm. This pair from Vallerret are both flexible and warm. They're great!

Over the last 10 years, as a landscape photographer, I have been using a popular brand "-30F mitten" for my backcountry treks during winter months. Once on-location, I have been shifting to a wind-resistant glove to provide more dexterity with camera controls.

My wife has another brand of mittens with 'touch sensitive' liners that, quite frankly...suck! So, my mission has been to try out the Vallerret photography mittens with touch sensitive liners both for my own benefit, but also for her.

I am supremely happy with these mittens. They are very warm (temps were 0F -> 14F on day of 1st test trek), the ability to unzip the upper portion of the mitten to expose the liner for camera control was fairly easy and the liner, the touch sensitive liner is, by far, the BEST liner I have ever used with my smartphone.

I would give these a 10 star rating if I could and will be happy to purchase a pair of these mittens for my wife, in the near future.

The gloves fit well when I tried them on upon receiving them and I'm pretty tickled about the tripod key. :) Sadly, spring is upon us so I didn't have a chance to truly try them out. I look forward to that day.

Fantastic gloves love how well they fit

I have had my eye on the Markhof Pro gloves for a couple years now and I was always put off by the price.
This year we had a massive long cold snap for an extended period with a great amount of snow which made for some awesome shooting and my previous gloves just did not live up to the amount of time I was spending outside. So I decided to give myself a late Christmas gift and pull the trigger on purchasing these expensive gloves. Immediately out of the box I was pleased to see that the gloves are made with the highest quality. Just the touch and feel of these gloves seems luxurious.
The real test was the -25C weather I used them for the first time for several hours and they did not disappoint. The fit is exact according to their size chart. The sticky grip is excellent and the travel pouch is also a nice touch.
My only regret is that I didn’t buy these earlier.

I have wanted these gloves for over a year. I’ve researched warm photography gloves for months. I live in Colorado and photograph the Milky Way beginning in March and I’ve tried several gloves but none have kept can’t my hands warm. was so excited to finally buy these because my first shoot of the year is next weekend. Today I go out to shovel 6 inches of snow in 3 degree F temperature and my fingers are completely frozen after only 10 minutes of being outside, no
exaggeration. I’m so disappointed. I thought I had finally found what I needed. The nice things are they fit and feel great and the detachable fingertips work great. I love the gloves but they are not warm.

I just received these gloves and had the chance to try them out over the weekend in the fresh mountain snow and 5 degree cold. They worked great with the ability to expose my thumb and forefinger for camera adjustments without having to "fight" the slippery fingers on my previous gloves (having to take them off and on multiple times for 1 image . .) is a GREAT advantage! The textured coating on the palm and fingers are great for added grip and camera handling, something I haven't seen on any other product.
My hands now stay much warmer, and the finger openings are easy to open and close with the magnet hold opens allowing me to make adjustments to my camera so much easier than before. I also enjoyed the ability to insert a hand warmer packet in the zipper closed pockets on the back of the gloves . . added a nice touch when extended cold time outside started to get to my "core" . . amazing how warm hands can help you feel warmer all over! (these pockets can be used to store any small flat object like keys, flat tools, etc., not just hand warmer packets . .)
The only concern is the gloves run slightly small in the size charts . . mine are the "medium" size (normally a little large in the regular gloves) and these are somewhat "snug" . . I know it helps with camera handling, and it is a change that I need to adjust to. The "finger holes" that open to expose the first finger and the thumb are a little small and need to be "enlarged" a little to allow more flexibility in finger movement without cutting off circulation. SO, if your size is on the upper limits, order the larger size . . .

Overall, I think these gloves are a great addition and improve my ability to get out "in the weather", good or bad, and get the shot I am looking for, without suffering the "hostilities" of the winter climates! GLAD I ordered these!!!

These are by far the warmest, most comfortable photography gloves I have EVER owned! Five stars ALL DAY LONG!

I wouldn't use these for extreme cold but around 30 degrees F they're a big help. Being able to expose your fingertips makes it much easier to operate a camera, but it also means the gloves don't completely insulate your hands.

A note on fit, my hands measured out to be on the high end of the small size, but they ended up being way too tight. Fortunately the customer service and exchange process was awesome, and they cross shipped a pair of medium gloves for me.

I bought these for my husband who is an avid photographer. He wore them for the first time last weekend, and loved them. He especially loved the thumb and finger openings and the magnet that holds them in place. Very pleased with these gloves..

I really love these gloves. I have used them already for photograph and they work great. An added bonus is that they work great for the car, since I need finger skin to touch the button to unlock the car.

Great

Often times when we upgrade gear we immediately think camera and lens. But what about the gear that keeps you shooting longer and better environments? That’s where Vallerret comes in. These gloves are awesome. Hands stay warm, shooting is comfortable with the snug fit gloves and extra grippy texture. When you need to access touch screen or hard to reach buttons you have instant access with the finger cut outs. Seriously, if you shoot cold weather and you think “oh if only I had a new lens, I could get that shot” think to yourself, maybe it is not a new lens but a new adventure. Stay out longer, and stay warmer with Vallerret!

I bought XXL which is my usual size for gloves. Even at XXL most gloves are still a little short in the fingers for my hands but these ones fit the length of my fingers perfectly. I would like to have had another 1/2” length in the palm as the cuff sits just short of my wrist, otherwise they are great. The insulation is thick enough to keep my hands from freezing but does not interfere with camera operation. The finger and thumb holes are a tad tight, but that allows them to cover up better when not in use and not allow the cold in so it’s not a big deal. The texture in the palm gives good grip. I would gladly buy these again.

Great gloves! They are well made and keep you warm while shooting. The magnets are a lifesaver for me. Love the pockets so you can put in hand warmers, plus one of the pockets has a tripod key. The sizing is definitely made to be snug so if you plan to wear a liner you may want to size up. I can also say their customer service is fantastic. I ordered a size too big. The exchange was easy. They sent me new gloves before receiving the ones I returned. Really appreciated the quick turnaround! Fantastic company and fantastic gloves!

Had to return my first pair for the next size up. Exchange was very easy and fast. I haven’t been out shooting yet since I received the gloves but I think my hands will be much warmer than they were with the gloves I was using. I think I can even fit hand warmers into the zippered pocket meant for a memory card. I can’t wait to put them to the test!

Love the gloves and they have the customer service to back it up. Hard to find both in this day and time. Thank you again.

Sizes run small, but a great glove! Using the online measuring guide, it told me that my hands were at the middle range for a Large size. When those arrived (very fast shipping, incidentally), while I could get them on the fit was too snug for my taste as I could not completely open the span between my thumb and the rest of the hand. Not to worry, my wife found these perfect! I ordered another set in XL, and these are perfect. The fit is still snug, but not overly so and can now open my hand completely without the glove binding. The insulation is great, the feel great, and the rubberized gripping surfaces really do grip Tacky feel but not really tacky. Thumb and pointing finger flaps work as advertised. Appreciate the lack of bulk combined with adequate insulation. Have not tested in truly arctic conditions (I live in South Carolina. Not sorry about that...), but these will work here and in all but sub-zero conditions, I'm confident.

Recently went out taking photographs on a cold -15 C Minnesota morning and my hands stayed nice and warm with my new Skadi Zipper Mitts. I highly recommend them for winter photography.

Love these gloves! As a wildlife photographer these gloves allowed me to get out and continue making images during the recent nose dive in temperatures without loosing any digits. The size is spot on! They are comfotable, warm and most imprtantlly they are very functional. I would definately suggest these gloves to anyone persuing outdoor photography during the winter.

I started with the Mitts and liners about 3 weeks ago. I liked the liners so much I bought a second pair and picked up a pair of the Markhof Pro 2.0 gloves as well. I’ve been out on a half dozen shoots in the snow. It is great to have the versatility. Sometimes all I need is the liners. But there have been a couple of mornings when I need the mitts. The Markhof’s are a nice middle ground. The fit is great but the Markhof’s are a bit on the small size so, as they recommend, order a size up if you are in between. In fact, in the Mitts and liners I have size small and they fit well. For the Markhof’s I have the medium size and they are also a good fit. My hands are small but a bit wide (with shorter fingers.)
