Solid but not Great

Ranked #148 - Ski Gloves
December 6, 2007
Pretty good as a glacier climbing glove into mid winter conditions. The original liner glove did not seem to fit me or the shell too well. Consistently bunched up on my little fingers and would have a battle to get my fingers straightened out when I put the gloves on. Replaced with a pair of Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch gloves and this made a huge improvement. Now the gloves are good down to around 0 degrees F, provide good dexterity for a glove of this type, and remain dry working wet rope through the day. I'm pretty happy with them but a better liner to start with and a looser gauntlet would be good.
