Hestra Army Leather Gore-Tex XCR Glove
Didn't do the job

These are bombproof construction, waterproof, nice attention to detail, fit well. Only problem, they don't do their primary job: keep my fingers warm. Never had an issue with my various old gloves, some with fiber, some with fleece liners, but when it's below mid-20's and I'm skiing fast, the wind just wicks the heat right out of these. Below mid-teens, you're facing serious fingertip pain, no joke. And these are supposed to be premium "guide" models. I won't buy Hestras again.
