Markhof Pro V3 Olive Green

We went to Alaska to catch some Auroras! Some nights was -20 to -30F and, only God knows what the windchill was, and these gloves kept our hands warm! To give you a perspective— I touched my tripod by an accident with my thumb without the glove and got a frostbite instantly. Blisters and all!

Beautiful and comfortable gloves. Unfortunately, the seams at the fingertips come apart after just one week and leave lots of unsightly threads :(

I purchased these gloves for a trip to Iceland in October. We did the entire ring road, whale watching and lots of hiking. The weather got as cold as 32F (0C) and colder at night. These gloves are amazing, kept me dry, was able to shoot no problem as well as manage my gear and where just the right warmth without being to bulky. Great pair of gloves!!

I used the gloves during a trip to Antarctica, - i very much apprechiated the tight grip on my camera (Nikon Z6II)and the ease how you can get the fingertips out. In a very windy environment I would recommend inner liners that i also bought from Valleret. Overall warm hands, therefore happy phototaking in wet environment around 0 C

I used these gloves for a few months and I am very happy with them! First of all the sizing is perfect, I followed the guidelines and they fit perfectly, really appreciate the smaller sizes that I always find difficult to find.
The gloves are warm, I used them in several occasions with temperatures around zero degrees and always felt comfortable. The detachable fingers also allow me to use the camera without taking the whole glove off that is great to stay warm.
I am overall very happy and would definitely recommend them.

I've always had size medium for gloves, even with liner gloves as a first layer, but these gloves feel like they restrict the blood flow in my hands... And the fingers started fraying the very second day of wearing them..! I'm seriously considering returning them on warranty, cus these gloves are worth at most €35 in my honest opinion.

I wear everything in merino wool when I go outside in the winters since a few years now, and I can tell you that these gloves do not live up to the claim of being made of 100% merino wool..!

On top of all that, they're far from as warm as I expected them to be! I freeze my hands off wearing only these without liners after 20-30 minutes! And that's only in minus 5-8 degrees Centigrade!

In December, I was trying out a new camera and lenses in Dyffryn Ogwen, North Wales. It was frosty with an increasing North Easterly wind. I got some great shots, but only lasted 90 minutes before I needed a solution re: my usual walking and cycling gloves, and my cold photography hands. I returned to take some snowy landscape shots in the same location this week (in January 2025). I now had Markhof Pro V3 gloves, and they were perfect. I had no time constraints on my photography due to cold hands, and this time there was snow cover all around. An excellent product (and I also have the liners for when it gets very cold).

Realicé la compra conjunta de estos guantes junto a las manoplas Vallerret Alta Arctic Mitt y los guantes Psp liner.

Las manos son algo con que se puede llegar a sufrir mucho en sesiones fotográficas de fauna, des de que los compré, los he testado en los Pirineos y en Noruega (por el momento) pienso que el sistema por capas aplicado en los guantes es muy versátil y te permite encontrarte en cualquier situación y no sufrir en tener problemas serios de congelación.

La comodidad es muy buena, y en esos momentos que sientes dolor en las manos por el frió, puedes apurar hasta no poder más y entonces añadir la ultima capa, las manoplas Alta Arctic Mitt y recuperar el calor.

Personalmente me da mucha seguridad disponer de las tres capas ya que con este material puedo afrontar cualquier situación.

En conclusión, estoy muy satisfecho en la compra de los tres productos combinables entre ellos.

These gloves are fantastic. I purchased a pair of "women's gloves" (Nordic W) years ago and finally decided to replace them. Vallerret no longer sells this model so customer service helped me find an alternative. The Markhof Pro V3 comes in a wider variety of sizes. The women's XS (previously) has now become the XS Slim for the Markhof Pro V3. They fit perfectly and the size is pretty much identical. They are once again very comfortable and warm, and offer a ton of grip when working with large lenses. Give them some time because they are very tight in the beginning. The material will stretch a little.

Went to Iceland for a Storm Expedition adventure photo trip. What I got was a hurricane with snow……link on my YouTube Channel….check out the gloves…..Toasty!!!!

I'm between L-XL so I went size up just in case and it fits well, but the whole for my index finger is pretty tight which is not pleasant while trying to keep your finger on the trigger and the blood flow is important especially when it's freezing cold outside. It's kinda like pressing my finger. Hopefully it will stretch.
Also it is not a cheap pair of gloves.
Still 5 star for a company exists, where they use good materials and trying their best to make something awesome. I'm a wildlife photographer and I love the color option. Also love the touch of the materials and the merino inside. And I also appreciate the 1% they give away to support nature. All the best, Medard Sandor

I used these on my trip to Glencoe a couple of weeks ago, they worked very well. Wasted time though hesitating, to buy or not to buy! Glad I did it.

Purchased recently
I've already had the chance to try them in the mountains. I am fully satisfied because my hands remained warm and above all they are comfortable for taking photographs. They are also comfortable during trekking while using trekking poles. I recommend them.

I used these on a recent trip to Iceland, which had a variety of conditions between being very cold (wind chill to -10°C) as well as snow storms, blizzards, hail and sleet. I found these gloves perfect for allowing me to still do some photography, nipping my finger and thumb out to fiddle with dials before popping them back into the warmth. My fingers did still get a bit chilly but warmed up quickly. Seemed to be shower, snow and windproof.

Thought I would wait until I had been to Finland with my new gloves before writing the review. I am pleased to say they passed with flying colours. Good quality gloves and hands kept warm (apart from when I exposed my fingers for more than a few minutes in the minus 29 degree temperatures - but I can't blame Vallerret for that :)

Have an older version of Markhof Pro (V1?) and used it only maybe a dozen times to now find out that (rubber?) material on top of the thumb is completely desintegrating and crumbling off.
