I need a warm glove. I own this glove and my fingers are cold, even with a thin wool liner. Any recommendations for a new glove? What about the Marmot Expedition? A friend of mine says stop using a glove with Gore-Tex. Thoughts? Thanks.

If you don't absolutely need gloves, mittens or two-finger gloves will always be warmer. I've heard others say that the Hestra Heli's are warmer, though they do not have the Gore-Tex liner. With proper leather treatment, you probably won't need the Gore-Tex liner in normal conditions anyway. The other thing that will make a huge difference is wearing gloves that are large enough. If wearing liners makes the gloves fit tightly, your hands might actually be warmer without the liners. I just got these gloves and have done some ice climbing and skiing in them, only got cold hands once hiking from the lift to the summit in a snow storm because I was carrying the skis. I'll have a full review coming shortly, but in answer to your question: if you have cold hand issues, larger gloves or preferably mittens are what you need. I don't think gloves with this much dexterity get much warmer than these!
