truly waterproof

By Ranked #804 - Mittens April 24, 2007

I got these after soaking a pair of "waterproof" gloves in a day of
skiing in wet snow. These are the real thing: a simple gore-tex mitten
shell, seam-sealed, with a cinch around the wrist and forearm. The shell
will definitely keep rain and snow out. Under the shell, you can wear
whatever you want, depending on the conditions, including nothing at all
if it's warm enough. The palms have some sort of grippy coating, and
I've been impressed by how much dexterity I have without taking the
shells off.
These do come with inner gloves, but I found the included gloves a
little lacking in insulation, and not the most comfortable, so I usually
wear a pair of plain fleece gloves under the shells.
