How does this glove compare to the older Marmot Ultimate ski glove? I am not a fan of the 2008-2009 Marmots and mm looking to replace them.
I want a glove that has primaloft (or something comparable), lots of dexterity in the fingers, XCR goretex, and warm that will last. Can you recommend a few of your best gloves that fit the above descrition?

I have a pair of both, and greatly prefer the Hestras. Actually, my ultimates are in the loaner pile these days, as I experienced cold spots throughout all fingers with the Marmots. The Hestras have worked great, though.

I have the Hestra Army and a pair of Marmot mittens (that otherwise look almost like the Hestras). The Marmots are warmer (but they are mittens). The first time I wore the Hestra Army I was skiing on day when it was about 20 degrees and windy...so the wind chill was probably about 10 degrees. My fingers were cold. I purchased a VERY thin IBEX wool liner--made all the difference. My fingers are warm now. The Hestra offers lots of dexterity--great glove.
