Im wondering if i should get this or the XCR glove. i need a really warm glove cause my hands are pussies when it come to the cold. the removable liner isn't that big of a factor, so whichever glove you think is better overall,thanks

I wouldn't agree with Rob on breathability, but agree on everything else he commented on. The small lack in breathability on the XCR gloves actually give it more warmth -- sometimes it's too much for people who are super active, but it's just right for resort skiers.

I've got the Grey w/ Red stitching Hestra XCR gloves and highly recommend them. While they will be as warm as the Heli Gloves, the XCRs will be more breathable, and will stay drier if/when your hands sweat on warmer days. Both are great gloves, and I would give a slight edge to the XRCs.
