I am the purchasing agent for two State Parks in northern Colorado that receive 300-600" of snow per year. Two years ago, I bought six of these gloves for use in the field by both Rangers on patrol and Technicians. Everyone has raved about them. Dexterity is unsurpassed for a mid-weight glove, and the high cuff is definitely powder-ready. In cold temps (single digits & lower), I'd recommend a liner glove or upgrade to something heavier.

I take my snowboarding very seriously, and do not compromise on equipment. My Sidewinder has shrugged off everything I've thrown at it--blizzards, bluebird days, trees, tree branches. The Pro-Shell is ridiculously durable and incredibly lightweight; I still have a hard time believing it holds up like it does. Everything about the cut of the jacket was thought out. The zipper is obvious, but the no-rise sleeves, the powder skirt, the well-laid out pockets, the helmet-compatible hood, even the cuffs are slightly concave to fit over your wrists better. This is hands down the best shell I have ever encountered. Expensive? Hell yeah, but it will last forever and you'll be loving every minute of it.
