My hands tend to sweat even on colder days so the Jalapeno's were recommended to me by a pro at a great shop in Snowmass CO. I picked them up and found the wicking is extremely superior to the Dakine's I had before. I take them off often to let my hands cool a bit. So it was maybe 10 times per day for 5 days I took them off and put them on again before the first cinch strap broke. I kept riding them as it was the end of the season and I was going to send the one in for warranty. I didn't have a chance to ride 5 more days before the other cinch strap broke. Seems like bad technology to me rather than just a fluke.

Though I really enjoy the look of these gloves, they just aren't that great on really cold days (<10 degrees). I find myself having to use handwarmers with these gloves, or even switching to another glove with a liner. I don't traditionally get cold quick either. I think they will be awesome for spring skiing, but they aren't cutting it for January.

I received the Jalapeno gloves as a gift last winter. I love them, but can only wear them on the coldest days. They are very warm- sometimes too warm! The wrist strap is a great feature...no more dropping your gloves in the snow or worrying about them falling of the chairlift. Can't beat 'em!

These are my first pair of Mountain Hardware gloves, but not my last. They are just as good as my favorite pair of Marmot gloves. They run a little small. I normally wear a medium but the large fits me fine.

Only tried these in the store so far... but after 5 minutes my hands were sweating. So I picked them up for those cold weather days when it is below 15 degrees farenheight and your fingers start to resemble popsicles. Good apparent build with a soft place to wipe your nose on the back side of the thumb. The open close cuff system is a little strange but once you get the hang of it you can deal. Cord on each side looks the same, but one side closes and the other opens.

On the low side- they could use a goggle wipe on the finger and a wrist cord for when you remove them on the ski lift.

Overall - nice, stylish glove, super easy to grip with, but not the technical maven.

i have a big hand (wide) and the XL in this glove fits great. very warm. durable so far. no complaints. i would definitely purchase this product again.
