Good for Jersey, bad for everywhere else

By n9888s Ranked #103 - Ski Gloves June 26, 2009

I paid half price for these gloves, still making them the biggest waste of money of the season. They are not good for anything under 20 degrees. They are not waterproof and they fall apart. I ski about 100 days a year in Vermont so I want a glove that is warm, can handle being bashed through spruce trees and don't get wet. I wore these for a week in December. My hands froze in 10-15 degree weather. had to use my black diamonds. I Put them away until Feb. While I was using them for a backcountry tour, when I pulled my hand out the lining came with my hand, and I was unable to get it back in (used to happen to the 5 dollar thinsulate gloves I had when I was a kid). Had to ski out with no glove (had a spare liner luckily). Happened again several more times. Also the stitching came apart in the index finger and thumb. Returned to Hestra. They did not replace them, instead I Received the same gloves with some new stitching. Used them for a week in April and tore them apart again. I am going to send them in again, maybe they will send me a new pair that I can sell to one of these gapers who likes them.
