Marmot Alpinist Glove
Like mountain goats, the Marmot Alpinist Glove thrives above city-level in the rocky places of the earth. This 3-in-1 Marmot glove uses a waterproof MemBrain 2L shell reinforced with Goatskin to repel the elements, and a durable Gore-Tex insert glove that completely blocks wind and water. Flex in the palm allows you the movement needed to get a firm grip on your ski pole or ice axe, and a nose-wipe clears away bogies at twelve o’clock.
Bottom Line: Take to the hills.

Are these gloves tough enough for rock scrambling and some bouldering?
Are these gloves tough enough for rock scrambling and some bouldering? Will they last?

I'm not sure why you want to boulder in gloves, but no. They're ski gloves, not intended for that kind of abuse.

Without out a doubt the best gloves ever ! You can have the park monkey driving gloves, I'll take the Alpinist any day. 90% of the time I stick the liners in my pack and just wear the shell. The trick seems to be to keep the hands dry and that is exactly what the Gore-Tex does. I spend a lot of time in the NW where it's cold and wet these gloves rock.
I'm trying to decide between these guys and the Norrøna
I'm trying to decide between these guys and the Norrøna Narvik. I'll use them primarily for skiing but potentially a little mountaineering as well...and the odd snowball fight.Thanks!

oh boy the norrona narviks definitly, they have real isulation built in instead of a winstopper liner, also they have long gauntlets and wrist/cuff adjustments so they have a more customized fit and they are just a better ski glove...i think these would be good if you said "ill use these a lot for mountianeering and some skiing on the side"...but you didint, so NN gloves all the way

First of all... the description under the picture is different from the tech specs to the right. The insert glove is not Gore-tex as the description says. It is Gore Windstopper as the tech specs say. I asked someone before I bought them and they told me Gore-tex and when I received them they clearly were not. The shell is big and much bigger than I wanted. But, let me tell you this... they will keep you warm and dry if that is what you need. There is NO dexterity with these gloves. The is about 1/2 inch distance from your finger tip to the actual tip of the glove. So, you cannot use your finger tips. I got a pair that fit and the insert fit nicely. My hand fit nicely inside the shell. The outer layer of the shell was too long compared to the inner layer. Anyways, there is extra space in the finger tips which does not seem to be needed. There may be a purpose for that, but I cannot think of one. They are warm and keep you dry if you do not care to sacrifice almost all dexterity. The glove insert was nice to have for casual stuff though. I hope this helps.

What BCoop is basically trying to say is there is gore-tex in the shell, and the removeable liner is made of gore windstopper. In addition, if there is too much space in the finger tips, it's cause you have short fingers.

Both descriptions are correct, but it is a little confusing. The outer shell fabric is a Membrain softshell fabric called Tropo (Genesis Jacket). A Gore-Tex insert is applied to this shell fabric using X-TraFit Construction which laminates the lining (DriClime) to the insert (Gore Tex)to the shell (Tropo) to eliminate slippage. 1.8 oz Primaloft insulation is used on the back of the hand for warmth, but not on the palm (better dexterity). The glove liner is not Gore Tex, it's a Schoeller soft shell fabric with leather re-inforcement. Keep in mind the glove liner fits true to size and correspondingly the shell is a little oversized to accomodate the liner.
Change me.
