Marmot Spring Glove

Not Waterproof, but Very Warm and Dexterous

By Ranked #230 - Lightweight Gloves May 7, 2009

The great is that they are really warm. They kept my hands warm while running in a light snow. They are very dexterous. No problem tying shoes, etc. The amazing thing is that the label says they can be machine washed and dried. I tried it; they can!

The bad: It says it has waterproofing on the web site here, but the glove label specifically states they are not fully waterproof. The latter is correct. I proved out in a soaking rain that they are not waterproof. That was the only disappointment. If anybody is aware of a really good waterproof light glove, please let me know. These are keepers, though, so light, yet so warm.

Ted/Lau, check out the "Mountain Hardwear Epic Glove". They are light, waterproof, and dexterous. Good S#$%!

Agreed! Where is the waterproof spring glove I am looking for? They must be hidden at the end of a rainbow because I have not found them yet.
