Great Glove for the Price
By Michael G.Verified Purchaser from Chicago, IL on 2/27/2007
Comfort:
Breathable, Wicks away moisture
Sizing:
Feels true to size
Pros:
Articulated finger joints, Dries Easily, Durable, great draw cords, Warm
Cons:
Grip surface, Thermal Layers Slide
Best Uses:
Backcountry, Casual Wear, Downhill
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This product did everything that was advertised and I would purchase it again tomorrow. Plus you couldn't beat the price! I needed gloves for downhill skiing in Utah and these worked perfectly for my trip.

The best features are the true fit articulated fingers, the single hand draw cord pull (better than my North Face Gore-tex jacket), the ready to wear pliability, the fleece inner lining (toasty), and the overall warmth to bulkiness ratio.

The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the inner palm grip material is a little flimsy and that the outer layer slides slightly over the inner layer because of the thermal insulation layer - I wish that the inner and outer layer were better connected; it makes opperations that require precise movement with your fingers a bit cumbersome.

I highly recommend these gloves for anyone who wants to start playing outdoors in the snow and wants to stay warm and dry while doing it.

 
Beware - Beware - Beware !!!

Feels true to size
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This glove ripped by the base of the index finger and palm after .5 DAY of skiing bumps. I would not recommend this glove AT ALL. Total rip-off; not even close to worth the clearance price.
