Great All around glove

As a professional guide who spends 200+ days in the field these gloves are always in my pack for any snow related activity. I use these for backcountry skiing on cold days & have summited Denali 8 times in them (+ a chemical hand warmer). These are the only glove I own in the waterproof/warm category. The removable liner is key for longer expeditions, or even hut based ski trips, as it allows me to easily dry the glove after particularly harsh conditions or extended use.
