Pros:
Lightweight, Tough
Cons:
Draw cord clip broke
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Hiking
On my second trip out, the little clip that hold the draw cord for the end/wrist of the glove broke [splintered]. Crazy glue now holds it together. Keeps me warm in fierce winds and gusts. Grips in fingers and palm allow for easier use of ice tools - holds them well. I should have purchased a glove similar to this with some insulation from the wrist into the arm section of the glove. It's a minor point in my temps, but could cause problems at more severe temps.
