- You won't feel like an astronaut when you wear this glove - articulated fingers and a trim cut allow you to move your fingers

Bottom Line:

Well done. Perfect weight for spring corn snow conditions, wet/cold conditions, and rope handling. Pittards grip is secure, tactile and durable. Not a cold weather (below 20) glove, but a fine option for use under a larger shell. Short gaunlet is big plus for me, as it doesn't push my jacket sleeves back or constrict my wrist. The Foraker is this gloves fat cousin - thicker, warmer, less tactile - also Cadillac.
