Stiff Fingers. Not form fitting. Needs precurve fingers and more dexterity. 01-27-09
Very warm. Solid consrtuction. The inner glove is great. The inner liner is a leather trimmed $50 windstopper type of glove. I like the liner by itself. When you put the goretex gauntlet shell the trouble begins.
Problems: Very big and bulky. The palm has way to much extra room. Stiff. Stiff. Stiff. I can baerly make a fist for a minute before my hand starts cramping. These are not very good for skiing. It is hard to flex your hand for any peiod of time. Dexterity is not very good.
I got them on sale and will use them for everything but skiing. I have a pair of Black Diamond Prodigys that are a better choice for skiing.
Not sure why these gloves are getting ripped. Just came back from Steamboat and loved them. No issues with construction of any kind. Liners are very durable and easier to get hands out of without removing them from the glove like others I've tried. It was in the teens in the AM and with the liners I stayed toasty warm. Mid-afternoon the it hit 32 degrees and I skied without the liners for perfect temp. Overall a very versatile glove. Probably the only thing I think should be improved is the clasp for holding the gloves together or on a jacket loop. The snap is pretty small and doesn't look that durable. Hestra does a much better job in this department. That being said, I used the wrist loops instead and rely on the clasp only for storage. I've got pretty big hands (8" wrist to fingertips) and bought XLs. They fit snug width-wise with the liners, fine in length with a little extra at the tips.
I just ordered these. Holy crap are they stiff. I can barely bend my fingers. I have issues gripping a ski pole completely. I comfortably wear a large glove and bought these in large, but they are a very tight fit. My hand feels constricted within the gloves, but the finger tip lengths and general dimensions are right so I don't think a larger size is the solution. Also, the shell feels as if it wasn't sized properly for the already snug liner, so wearing both feels extra tight. Lastly, getting in and out of the liners is a pain as for some reason the designers felt they should make the opening just barely big enough to put your hand through, making it quite an ordeal to pull them over your hands. The liner interior wasn't cut/sewn all that well and you feel the edges of the fabric at the seems, which I think is poor craftmanship as I don't have this issue with other liners. Lastly, I wasn't happy that there's no back of the hand pocket for warmers and such, but might not be necessary on such a warm glove.
With all the negativity, I will say that the build quality is generally excellent. I do like that there's hook and loop to hold in the liners, which is a key factor in my purchase, although with the liners' snug fit the hook and loop often doesn't keep them liners from pulling out on your hands. The gloves feel like they'll keep me very warm, used for the coldest of weather. I don't know for sure as I am most likely going to return them.
Liners aren't wool despite the description here.
