Mountain Hardwear Typhon Glove - 2009 BCS
Available Colors / Styles
Paste on your skins, click into your bindings, pull on the Mountain Hardwear Typhon Glove, and take off into the backcountry in search of steep, deep, untracked lines. This fully waterproof softshell glove features OutDry Technology (a waterproof breathable membrane welded to the shell layer) to stop wind and moisture at first contact. The removable wool fleece liner works alone on aerobic skin tracks or chilly hikes, and the oversized shell gauntlet keeps out powder on the epic turns down.
Bottom Line: Pillage the backcountry with the protection and warmth of the Typhon Glove.

I do a lot of lift-served skiing in VT/NH (10-20 days per yr) as well as backcountry hiking and snowshoeing in the Berkshires/Catskills...Jan and Feb this is in 0-15 degree daytime temps. This glove seems great, but the reviews seem to suggest it isn't the warmest...what is the recommended "system" for optimizing this glove in zero-degree weather?

These gloves are warm but I bought them a little large and wear thicker liners under them. As Angus posted, the thicker or extra liners make a huge difference and turn these into very warm gloves.

Liner gloves. Most will be too thick, but Icebreaker makes some REALLY thin gloves that'll fit in anything your bare hand fits in and give you that little extra layer of wool for insulation. Makes a big difference.

I am very impressed with these gloves. I was looking at the arcteryx alpha sv gloves, but couldn't justify the price tag. I was initially concerned that the shell felt so thin without the liners. The liners are thicker than usual and made the glove feel tight and stiff. I wore these for 3 days at Whistler which included a day of cat skiing. I was very pleasantly surprised that I didn't need to use the liner at all, even in 30mph winds. My hands remained warm and dry, and the only time I used the liner was walking around the village. The leather also stayed fairly dry and didn't soak up water like a sponge. It also has a unique tightening system at the gauntlet which was easy to use. I would honestly give it 4 1/2 stars.
So I got the gloves, they are sweeet! I especially like being
So I got the gloves, they are sweeet! I especially like being able to use the liners as a separate set of gloves... I used these gloves on a sub20 degree day and my hands were warm as long as I kept them on. I do have one question, what are these leather loops for? They aren't pictured on the website, but my gloves have them on the ring finger of both hands... any ideas?

pilotshive. The leather loops are on the fingers are so you can hang the gloves finger-side-up on a climbing harness. Often times Ice climbers will climb with a lighter set of gloves and then use gloves like the Typhon for belaying and rope work. If you were to hang them the other way they would fill with snow and ice! I hope this info helps!

Outdry breathes way better than goretex. Bought a large, usually wear a large. Fit was very snug at first, perfect after a couple of outings. I use for cold weather hiking & snowshoeing. Construction seems solid. Agree with JMH, not a super cold weather glove. Only question is gauntlet drawstring, not as smooth as others I have used, but works.

How snug should the gloves be? Just got a large pair and they are more snug than I am used to.

Fietsrider. Due to the liners the gloves may feel a little more snug than normal when you first pick them up. If you pull out the liners and then put them on I think you will find that the large is the right size for you. Once you use the gloves a bit and they 'break in' the fit will get more and more dialed! I hope you like them as I think this style in particular are brilliant especially when you consider the OutDry technology!

Intuitive design/technology, very nice (use alone) liner. Bought a pair for my wife and she tested them learning to Telemark in slushy conditions, alternating rain/sleet, 0 degrees C while falling over a lot. Her hands were as dry as a bone at the end of the day, mine were soaked (patagonia stretch element gloves). Insulation is a little light for really cold conditions but they make other versions with the same technology.

This glove has a wool/polyester blend inner liner but it is not the 'boiled' wool glove you are looking for. I am not sure where you find those these days. As for the GoreTex Shell Jacket... many brands make very good GoreTex Shell Jackets that would work well on Aconcagua... it all depends what you are looking for. Check out the Xenon Jacket from Mountain Hardwear for an example of a great shell that would work well climbing in the Andes. Good luck!
