I’ll be straight with you. I wasn’t expecting much from a pair of gloves. I figured they’d be fine for mild cold, maybe keep my hands dry in a light drizzle, and that would be it. I was wrong.
I wore these in 30-degree weather and my hands stayed warm and dry the entire time. No dampness, no cold creeping in through the fingers, no fumbling to get things done because the gloves were too thick. I could tie my shoes without pulling them off. I could use my phone without any extra tapping or frustration. That kind of dexterity at this price point is rare.
I’m 6’1″ and ordered a Large. They fit perfectly. No bunching at the fingers, no pulling at the wrist. The fit is slim and form-fitting without feeling tight, which matters when you’re trying to actually use your hands.
How they’re built
The Sport uses a 3-layer construction Cross Point calls Artex3D. The outer layer is a wear-resistant knit that looks and feels like a regular glove. Underneath that sits a waterproof-breathable membrane. The inner layer is CoolMax FX, a synthetic liner designed to wick sweat away from your skin during high-output activity. Silicone grip print runs across the palm and fingers for wet-weather handling. The fingertips are touchscreen-compatible.
On paper, that sounds like a lot for $54. In real use, it holds up.
What people are saying
The dexterity I noticed at 30 degrees isn’t a fluke. A photographer testing these in Alaska at temperatures in the teens told REI the gloves were thin enough for fine motor work on camera controls while keeping hands completely dry through constant snow. That matches exactly what I found. You don’t have to sacrifice feel to stay warm.
On durability, the build quality holds up longer than you’d expect. A reviewer at Bermstyle who tested an earlier version since 2019 said the outer knit on the palm, where most gloves show wear first, still looked brand new after years of hard use. Touchscreen fingertips worked just as well at the end of testing as day one. Given how well mine fit and how substantial they feel in hand, that tracks.
The temperature range I found at 30 degrees lines up with what others report across a wider window. One paddler on the product page uses them right at freezing. Another rider calls them perfect for the high 40s into the low 50s and says they’re genuinely windproof. Electric Bike Journal tested them through months of rain, snow, and cold and found the CoolMax liner kept hands comfortable even as temperatures warmed up into spring. These aren’t just a cold-weather glove.
Waterproofing is where the gloves really prove themselves. My hands stayed dry at 30 degrees and so did a rider at Bermstyle who stuck their hand into a cold running stream mid-ride and came out dry. Road Bike Rider tested them while washing a bike in 40-degree temps and reported completely dry, warm hands throughout. A few people note that sustained heavy rain over a long ride can eventually push through, so these perform best in the conditions most of us actually ride and work in, not standing in a monsoon for an hour.
What about PFAS?
A fair question given how many waterproof products use PFAS-based DWR coatings. Cross Point Gear explicitly states their products are made without PFAS and are produced in a WRAP-certified facility. That’s a meaningful distinction in a category where a lot of brands are still catching up.

Bottom line
Most gloves in this price range make you pick between warmth, dexterity, and waterproofing. The Cross Point Sport doesn’t force that trade-off. They kept my hands warm and dry at 30 degrees, I could still use my phone and tie my shoes, the build quality suggests they’ll last more than one season, and they’re made without forever chemicals. For $54, that’s a lot of glove.
