Well this is not so much a review but
a note to buyers, I have never worn these but I did see several and I mean over 2 dozen climbers on Mount Everest, yes that correct. with these gloves on, I don't know if it was this particular glove but it was the Hestra brand ! As I have a thing for gloves and always look at other climbers gloves to see what they have on. It was 40 below that morning . The glove does have a removable liner so it could have been this shell with a different liner.
Any how i'm asking around because many seem to put lots of trust in the companies gloves.

Just got back from the Canadian Rockies skiing... saw a lot of seasoned ski mountaineers wearing Hestra's of all kinds, so I guess that speaks to the brand. I wore these gloves the whole time and my hands for the most part remained warm and dry. Superb wicking properties--I got large amounts of snow in them several times and they dried out minutes after I put them back on!
