I wear them so much that I need a new pair every year. These gloves are miraculously warm and dry. When the weather looks sketchy and I'm planning a big trip, these gloves are the first thing I grab. As a guide, I handle wet ropes often and find that this is the only glove I can wear that does not turn into a sponge. I need the dexterity that they offer without the hassle of having to change them when they get wet. Excellent ski touring, alpine climbing, or camping glove. Durable, dry, light, and warm.

These gloves are great for spring skiing. They do run large, so go with the smaller one if you are torn between two sizes.

They leak like sieves. Very disappointing as they are light, fit well and are not much insulated so great for cool days. I wore them hiking and they were soaked in a light rain within 5 minutes. They have not earned their keep in my backpack sp will keep them for dry day hikes.

Bought these gloves for spring skiing. Used them the first time this weekend and loved them. I love that I can move my fingers and that I can easily get my hands in the wrist straps of my ski poles! These gloves will keep the wind out, but since I did not fall, I cannot attest to the water resistant factor.
