2 Star Rating

Somewhat bummed at the lack of insulation

By Ranked #528 - Ski Gloves December 8, 2008

-Dexterity: 2 turns. Lots of space in the glove, felt large for the size, would have sized down.

-Removable liner: 0 turns. The insulation felt thin in addition to the fit.

-Wrist fit: 1 turn. Again, minus points as a factor of the insulation issue and no wrist strap

-Palm material: 3 turns. Decent leather, but not as good as BD.

-Overall Construction: 3 turns. The materials were fine, just a bit big for me in a size Medium.

-Verdict: 1.8 turns. Minus points for thin insulation and loose fit if sized down, would have been higher, but insulation still a factor. I was surprised at the overall good construction of this, but gave it low points for the lack of robust insulation. Given that insulation packs out after a while, I never felt this glove would take me several years.
