This unisex glove excels in warmth, breathability, and dexterity with top-notch construction, making it a strong choice for resort or backcountry skiing and other winter tasks. If you can get a good fit, it’s a high-performance, long-lasting ski glove, though the fit runs very large for women and there’s no wrist cinch, and it’s pricey, so try before you buy.
The Arc’teryx Fission SV is a top-tier ski glove that excels in warmth, water resistance, and durability while offering great dexterity for cold-weather skiing. It’s versatile for resort and backcountry use, but its high price, fewer features, and tricky sizing—especially for smaller hands—keep it from being perfect for everyone.
The Fission SV is a niche, weatherproof insulated shell designed for wet, cool climates. It features a Gore-Tex shell, a brilliant hood, and top-tier insulated handwarmer pockets, but its synthetic insulation loses warmth over time and the stiff shell can feel loud and restrictive. It's excellent for wet winters on the coast but not the warmest or best value overall.
