Very warm

Ranked #678 - Ski Gloves
March 4, 2008
I bought these gloves for snowshoeing, snowboarding and potentially snow camping in the future. I've worn the outer shells a few times, but have always found them way too warm for the activities I've taken part in. When snowshoeing I've always found the inner liners to give just the right amount of insulation and wind chill prevention. Sometimes, when taking a break in the wind I'll put in the outer shells and it's nice to know that I have them in my pack in case of emergency or it gets really cold. As another reviewer mentioned, the soft shell liners really are much better than fleece as it's much harder for snow to stick to it. In addition, the leather grips really do help me with the poles when I'm snowshoeing. Also, they do indeed feel a little long-fingered for a medium when I compared them to other gloves I've had. OR, take note! All in all, great gloves.
