Superb quality but....

Ranked #64 - Ski Gloves
January 19, 2009
This is definitely one of the best ski gloves out there in terms of product quality (fabric, stitching, design, etc.) and the fact that there are 6 different sizes to choose from allows the user to find the optimal size for his/her hands. The snow lock and velcro enclosures are designed so that one can tighten them easily with one hand. The gloves feel a bit stiff at first, but they do loosen up (not in a bad way) after a day on the slopes. My one major complaint is that it's being advertised as the glove for extreme weather. I was skiing last night between 10~15F weather, and my hands did get cold...not as bad as my toes were feeling and I'd say it was bearable...but for the money, you'd think they'd throw in a liner (but considering some Hestra liners will cost you up to 40 bucks...I guess that's too much to ask). And why isn't backcountry selling Hestra glove liners?
