These are my favorite gloves!

I have used these gloves for skiing, hiking, snow camping, and general outdoor cold weather work... they are my favorite gloves! I am glad that I got the Gortex version, as the exterior has gotten quite wet when performing activities such as building snowcaves or when it's raining/wet snow. The Gortex has proven to be impearmeable...I have even submerged them under water (up to the top of the cuff) just to test them... the inside remained dry, even when pressing hard against the exterior of the glove. I love the leash/cuffs- I forget I'm wearing them they are so comfortable. Only 1 gripe- in the mid teens and lower, there is noticeable cold transfer- when you grab something cold such as the metal safety bar on chairlifts, the cold permeates the gloves- this has resulted in cold fingertips. Liners help this, but for the price, the gloves should insulate a little better without the need for liners...they are otherwise bombproof.
