Marmot Randonnee Glove

Item #MAR1174 | 19 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Durable? Not so sure. Hella comfortable though.

By Ranked #1287 - Ski Gloves March 23, 2009

I don't think I'd call them durable since the single stitching in the palm and the super soft fingers are coming apart after only a few days on the slopes. Double-edged sword these gloves being so soft an comfortable. On the plus side, you don't even need to use the ridiculously soft nose wipe because the whole glove is such nice material.

Depending on your application, these may just be some of the best gloves you can own. I imagine for skiing they'd be awesome, but if your hands are planted, dragging, or contacting snow often (ie, snowboarding, snowball fights, etc.) they aren't what I hoped for. Though my hands have yet to feel wet, the gloves themselves take an awful long time to dry once they soak through to the waterproof layer. And they do.

I'd buy them again if they were 50 bucks instead of a hundred, but then again, I'm not a skier.
