These gloves are pretty good, although not the best I've owned and certainly not the Ultimate glove. They are warm, almost too warm if it's above 25 outside. The XCR liner is awesome, besides the days that i'm just plain old too hot and sweating like crazy, my hands have been perfectly dry in these gloves...they breath exceptionally well. I've owned several Black Diamond gloves and they they hit the mark on dexterity better than Marmots, but I think the leather is a bit more durable with the Marmots. Although, I'm probably 30 days into them and they are already showing pretty good signs of wear on the finger seams...I'm a snowboarder so this is a common problem. My biggest recommendation to improve this glove would be to make the insulating portion of the liner removable for faster drying and make it more versatile in a range of temperatures and activities. I think this would be the perfect glove if you're an inbounds skier and don't have super sweaty hands and have a spring glove for warmer days.

These gloves do an admirable job keeping me warm and dry. The leather has been durable for the past two years. I wish they were doubled on the palms (like the Marmot Work Gloves or the Black Diamond Guide Gloves); however, they are Pittards goat skin and still look almost new. The fit can be dialed in with the wrist adjustment and the gauntlet cinch works smoothly. They are a bit slimmer than my BD Guides, which might make them a touch more dexterous, but that's because they have half as much Primaloft in them (5 oz. vs. 10 oz.); thus, the BD's keep me warmer. That said, they're still great gloves. I use them aggressively and know that they'll be with me for many more seasons to come.

That's the longest I've ever owned a pair of gloves!
They've packed out in the lining a little bit, but otherwise still look new.
A warm glove, good dexterity and the gauntlets fit nicely over my coat.
I actually use the leashes and wouldn't buy a glove without them now.

Very warm, no liner required!

These gloves are made very well however I didn't find them to be all that warm. I was in desperate need of new ski gloves, did some research and purchased these expensive gloves. After several days skiing in frigid cold temps in VT & UT my fingers froze all times. I finally went to a local ski shop & purchased a pair of Gordini soft shell gloves which were/are much warmer then these gloves. I should of gone with the Black Diamond Guide I think. They are made well, the leather seems to be tough to break however only time will tell. If temps are anywhere between 25-30 I think they're ok, anything colder forget it.

I love these gloves. I was looking for an oversized type ski glove for very cold Colorado winter days. A friend pointed me towards these gloves so I thought I would try them out. At first I was put off by the price. But after using them, the price was worth it. I mainly use them for back country skiing and approaches for alpine climbing. I usually wear a large, but found that a medium works well for me in this glove. The leather palms are sturdy enough and I have used them as belay gloves while ice climbing. I recommend this glove for any one who wants warmth and dexterity, but doesn’t want to use a mitten type glove. Enjoy

Top end glove with top end performance, ski race instructed all day at -25.
I had warm hands all day, even with my hands getting wet from hard work and melted snow.
You will get what you pay for if you buy this glove.

This is my second pair of these gloves. The first lasted for about 5 years, and I expect the same from this pair. The glove is well built, and has plenty of insulation for cold days. the GoreTex XCR performs great. My hands never sweat.
It is a bit warm for spring skiing in CA, but that's ok. I didn't buy it for that. I'm extremely happy with it.

I bought these gloves to go Heli Skiing at Mike Wiegeles. When they arrived, i thought they would be too big to work with. I usually wear Black Diamond work gloves. I wore the Marmot Gloves every day skiing in the rain, deep powder, and crust. The gloves were great. The leashes built into the gloves helped strapping skis together quickly with bare hands and retrieving the gloves quickly. Not so good for taking a leak though. Need to keep gloves out of the way.

These gloves are expensive but worth every penny. I got to try them for the first time this weekend on Loon Mountain, New Hampshire and these gloves keep your fingers and hands warm! My buddy had a pair of Force 10's and he was complaining of frosty fingers half way up the mountain - you can't put a price on the toasty feeling that the Marmots give you in these conditions. I was a little concerned when I first got them that the fingers might be a little "thick", but once we were geared up, the gloves were as flexible as any other to use and have a nice feature that allows you to keep the gloves tied to your hands when you need to take them off - very handy when adjusting your gear before getting on a chairlift -- with the certainty that you won't drop your glove(s) on the way up.
The Gore-Tex XCR is clearly doing a great job, the gloves slide on and off with ease and look good, too (I had black color). I saw a some of the Ski Guides at the resort wearing them too, for good reasons that I know know about -these Marmots are hot in the cold.

Big, warm gloves. I like 'em !

I chose to purchase the Ultimate Ski Glove by Marmot just before a marathon ski trip starting in Banff, Alberta, then going to Fernie, British Columbia and ending up at Big Mountain in White Fish, Montana. The trip was a celebration of my daughter's 24th birthday. We skied from Canada to Montana, sampling slopes and shops. The gloves were excellent in performance and fit well. They were easy to get on compared to gloves with an additional liner. The temperature was between 5 and 20 degrees F most of the time and my fingers stayed toasty. The gloves have a little more bulk than other gloves but this is trivial and not noticeable on the slopes.I skied with them again recently for five days on Big Mountain in all terrain at temperatures around 13 degrees F, and I am satisfied with their comfort and performance. Now, I want to try some really cold weather. As an avid skier I recommend the Ultimate Ski Glove.
