Outdoor Research Meteor Mitten
Great Shell... Hold the liner...

I bought a pair of these three years ago and have used them extensively back country skiing and at the resort. I live in Washington State and have to deal with a lot of rain and wet snow. The shell has been great and has remained waterproof. The liners however are too bulky and I have never used them. Instead I have used light synthetic liner gloves with the shells. This makes a great system. The gloves permit great dexterity when used alone and when it gets cold or wet I just slip on the shells. After three years of hard use the shells are starting to leak so I am going to buy another pair of Meteors. Does anyone want two pairs of unused liners?
