Great for Backcountry Skiing & Cold-weather Running

By Jason Mitchell Ranked #160 - Lightweight Gloves November 17, 2009

I really, really dig these gloves and find them my "go-to" gloves for any athletic pursuits in the Winter. They are the perfect glove for backcountry skiing with killer dexterity and breathability. They are great for temps down to about 20-degrees, though. I've had some COLD Dawn Patrols where my digits have gotten the frozen hot dog treatment after a downhill lap, but that's asking more than these gloves can handle.

I wear them while climbing, but definitely switch to other gloves on cold mornings for the descent.

They are holding up well after a season+ of abuse. Great gloves!
