Seirus Softshell Lite Glove - Men's

By Ranked #27 - Lightweight Gloves February 1, 2012

Wondering how well these would work as:

A) a glove for spring skiing, say in 40 degree temps. I know they're not fully waterproof, but are they waterproof enough? Say I dipped them in a bucket of water for 5 seconds - would my hands be dry?

B) a liner under my Hestra Heli Mitt, for really cold days. Will they be too bulky?

Thanks!

I did get these, so figured I'd answer my own questions: A) They were great for warm weather skiing. I don't know how well they'd stand up in a downpour, but for skiing in ~35 degree temps they kept me warm enough (and my fingers generally get pretty cold). I also wore them while it was snowing and they were fine there too. B) Possible under the Heli Mitt. A little bulky, but if it's that cold and you really need it, definitely doable.

Yes, they're waterproof enough. Should be fine skiing in 40 degree temps as well. As for the liner in the hestra mitt, probably a little too bulky. You can always try it and send it back if it doesn't work, but my guess would be that if your mitt fits you fairly well now, this will make it too tight.
