Hmm.

I cannot give this glove an entirely negative review (I realize that two stars isn't exactly positive), but I will impart my own experience with it. I bought this glove and was happy with it until the second time I wore it. While tightening the wrist cinch, the rubber grip sewn to the webbing ripped right off. I paid retail for them, so I was more than disappointed that something broke so soon. The problem lies in the design: the rubber grip is sewn at the most apical portion of the webbing and is not reinforced with so much more than a single-stitch line. This is minor, I realize (unless you are attempting to cinch down with a gloved hand - inevitable on at least one glove!), but I returned them because at that price, this should not happen. They were warm, indeed, but I couldn't grab the webbing (sans grip) with a gloved hand. I then purchased an old model Patagonia Stretch Element glove (removable liner and eerily similar features with better articulation) at a discounted price and couldn't be happier with them. Disappointing, because Marmot has always been good to me.
