Feels true to size
Pros:

Cons:
Durability

Hiking, Mountaineering
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer, Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have 2 pair. one large to wear by itself and a second xl that I can wear over a liner. They are still comfortable when wet. They don't restrict movement at all.

Durability has been mediocre but they are light weight. It looks like the new ones are tougher. Don't get the palm material near ski skins, it sticks solidly.

 
Super gloves
By tomatomanVerified Reviewer from Brooklyn WI on 11/17/2006
Comfort:
Breathable, Wicks away moisture
Sizing:
Feels half size too small
Pros:
Good Grip, Great Insulation, Tough
Best Uses:
Casual Wear, Extreme Conditons, Hiking, Mountaineering, Travel

Very light and tough, with an intentional "loose" fit which allows unrestricted hand movement. My hands always seem cold and gloves never seem to fit, but i love these. Very similar to the new "Epic" glove from M.H. but lighter and fits even nicer. My favorite backpack glove of all time.
