Too posh for work?

By Nick Stadie Ranked #47 - Ski Gloves May 1, 2011

These gloves are a happy medium between gloves that are too thin to be sturdy, and gloves too thick to use for spring touring and moderately-cool temp backcountry chores. My hands sweat. A LOT. These gloves do a decent job even on the ascent for me, which says a lot. After using them for a full day of heavy shoveling, climbing, skiing, and repeat, (during a snow survey in Tokopah for example), they were soaked on the outside but warm on the inside, which was important when the weather changed from +20 to 0C.

The problem is, they're expensive. A $15 pair of work gloves would probably do 90% of what these do. More if the water-proofness decides to quit. Get em on sale if you can, I paid $50 and feel OK about it.

A note on size - read the MH website sizing chart, these run kinda loose.
