REVIEW CRUD GJÖRA GLOVES | BEAUTIFUL, HARDWEARING AND VERY EXPENSIVE

[@TylerMarsh87]

The amount of research you have done on the gloves and their origins are above and beyond what I expected in a review. Absolutely incredible work. Thank you.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Tyler, I know and I love doing things proper. Your comment is much appreciated! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@davidd4586]

Many thanks for this great journalistic work Gijs. I bought a pair last year based on their branding, vision and philosophy of Swedish craftsmanship. I am disappointed and surprised by Crud. The gloves are clearly not worth the price if they are not Swedish made. Keep up the good work and cheers from Switzerland.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi David, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I am happy it is not only me who had this feeling. It's hard to not to give them a higher rating since the gloves perform well. But to my opinion the price is (too) high for what you get. The not made in Sweden story also is a bummer. Cheers, from a very grey The Netherlands, Gijs

[@TROYSTER7171]

I bought mine last summer and am happy with them even though a tad high in price. Fantastic in depth review, on this video I've subscribed to your channel and am working my way back on previous vids. Great work 👏

[@geoffnepo]

Very honest review, much effort and time tracking down the hidden information, great work 👍

Hi Geoff, Thank you. I like research 👍. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@Tadas585]

Perfect review! Thank you! It would be interesting to get a new one, because now they changed to Pittards goat hide because of durability.

I bought a pair of Crüd Gjöra gloves after watching this, and a number of other videos. I live in North America so I was taking a big chance on these gloves being good as the company doesn't cover the cost of shipping on warranty or repair issues covered by their lifetime warranty. I regret buying them now as the gloves came with a manufacturing defect that causes a number of issues on my dominant hand. If you live in North America and have cash to burn, these gloves are decent, but I'd recommend buying from a local glove manufacturer. There's really nothing special about these gloves compared to anything you'll get locally and considering that these gloves are actually manufactured in the USA and then finished in Sweden, you're actually paying more for gloves made here anyways. Chances are you'll also be able to return/exchange the relatively locally purchased gloves without spending another $50 - $60 in shipping. All in all, I'd give these gloves a 4/10 due to the issues I have experienced.

Hi Mprince, Sorry to read, but you are right....they are not good. I have mold on them by know (and I don't store them wet). Not a very solid product. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@peterwinthrop-h4v]

@@OutdoorguruGearReviews mold, well that is it for them for me. I live in a wet climate and can’t have something the grows mold. Thank you for the review and the follow up comments.

[@markluke8447]

New to your channel, glad I found you. I like the objective detail you put into this video. Your research provides details I want to know more about the products I’m purchasing and the companies that produce these products. I wish to support companies who still hold quality, reliability , environmental sustainability as part of their objectives in manufacturing process.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Mark, Glad you like it! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

Great review I can see you put real effort in this compared to most reviewers who just basically repeat the marketing page for the product. I still feel Crud is not 100% honest in their website as they still don't clearly state that the gloves are made in Ethiopia and instead use the abbreviation "ET". To me my first initial thought was that the gloves were made in Estonia and I only realised that they weren't after watching your video. I decided to go for Grud Tee Elkskin gloves instead as they are made in US and I feel like the price is then a bit more justified. Still I feel kind of bad that they are not 100% transparent about their manufacturing. I think much better aproach would have been to have a dedicated info section in their page about the factory where they proudly present the facts since they actually had long history in leatherwork.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Fully agree and thank you for the comment and your point of view. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@anndebaldo7381]

Very interesting! Thanks for doing the sleuthing...it is really important to know where and by whom products are made. And yes, they seem to be very expensive, perhaps because of all the extra shipping? Anyway, thanks.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Ann, My pleasure! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@michaelwolf8781]

Those gloves must be dusted with Gold. I understand it’s kind of good quality, but they are priced too high. I like to buy good quality gear. My leather gloves from the gas station are 3years old, still going strong.😉

Fyi, October 2022 these gloves are $90 in the US

Would buy the Hestra Lars Fält. They are totally Swedish. Gjöra is pronounced [jeura], by the way.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Peter, Jeura....THANKS👍! Did not think about this. For the next video.... I am not 100% sure the Lars Fält is produced in Sweden. To my knowlegde Hestra has no production in Sweden. I'll check. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@SonofHendrik]

@@OutdoorguruGearReviews Hestra has a factory in.... Hestra, but if they produce it there or only design and develop, I don't know. God Jul! 🌲🎅🦌

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Peter, I got the feedback from Hestra. Once they where produced in Sweden but that was over 10 years ago. Now everything is produced well... NOT in Sweden. Cheers, Gijs

Is the set up in the background a hint to an upcoming review of the Tentipi Safir 5? :P

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Eric, Yes, work in progress. Everything is done expect shooting the videos. Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@craftandnature]

Great review but really overpriced gloves. Gloves are really good and nice, that's true. But you can find same quality gloves for four times less price on Ebay. For example, Kinco unlined cowhide leather gloves. USA made. Only without metal eyelets but you can install eyelets for 1 dollar cost. Wells Lamont gloves are also well made and good quality for 5 time less price. And this is a price for me in Europe with shipping. For USA is 10 times less price.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Agree! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@adriaandoelman2577]

hoi Gijs wat zijn nou lekkere warme handschoenen voor op de fiets? ik houd niet zo van synthetisch spul.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hoi Adriaan, Jaaaaa..... lastige vraag. Ik heb zelf altijd softshell handschoenen van bv Gore Bike Wear. Anders kom je uit op leer met wol of volledig wol. Niet zo winddicht en ook niet water bestendig. Je mag me bellen 🙃, nummer staat op de website. Groet, Gijs

[@albeklik8055]

Best fabric for outdoor leather glove is elk leather there is an American company makes custom glove much cheaper and fits much better.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Al, Crud does a Elk leather too.... Made in the USA. Please name the company you refer to. Thanks! Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

Excellent, so many of us take things at face value without untangling the intended confusions set by marketing.

[@bjornanderson3645]

Alot of ppl love them and think they are expensive? Maybe the norm with good cheap gloves don't affect these? Maybe this is the price all good gloves should have? I don't know.

[@OutdoorguruGearReviews]

Hi Björn, Thank for the comment, but good gloves are for sale between 35-80 euro's. It's not just my opinion but I have been talking to a lot of manufacturers, retailers and people who need gloves professionally: The Crud price is ridiculous. I still have them and when not using them for a couple of weeks a sort of white 'fungi' appears on a lot of places and they are getting quite hard so good maintenance is important (as with other gloves and boots). Enjoy the Outdoors and Stay Safe! Cheers, Gijs

[@bjornanderson3645]

@@OutdoorguruGearReviews okay, I can only compare them to Hestras gloves for the woods, the Skullman is a bit cheaper but the Fält is the same price if I subtract the price of the liner. What other gloves are you thinking about? (full leather, no fixed liner and made with good quality)
