Quality Gloves for Skiing

[x10003q]

I have been using Marmot Randonnee gloves for years. OR has a verson like this also. My hands are usually warm so the gortex somewhat controls the moisture. They are usually around $50-$60. I usually buy a pair every 3 years or so and use the older pair for warmer days or as a backup. They never get holes or rip. The insulation compresses and wears out after about 2-3 seasons.

I have no bias against mittens… Maybe I would look at the ones that have some finger split for dexterity, or just go all in mitten as I do like to take pics while skiing.

I have tried those. They work. Dangerboy is all in. Always his first choice unless it’s really warm

Don't waste your money on anything other than Hestra if you are truly looking to make an investment. I am 10 years into a pair of boarder Ski Cross Mittens. I fully expect to keep them for at least another 5 years.

I have a pair that are easily 15 years old. They really are quality. Hestra Army Patrol glove is what I have.

Huge Free the Powder fan. Very high quality, not stiff at all like I found the Kinco’s to be, easy to change out a warmer insert. Hestra is probably the gold standard, but can pick up 2 pairs of these for the same price. Went with strictly gloves last year, switched over to the mittens for this year. They definitely run a little hotter so anything above 30F I go back to the glove.

Yep. If you don't seal up those Kincos they'll get stiff.

I think Sno Seal might have a lot of bees wax in it. I have a theory that makes them stiffer in the cold.

Nothing about bees but that shit will burn.
Material Safety Data Sheet MSDS for SnoSeal
Ya might also consider seal fat.
Isn’t that why folks call them seals?
Those beasts are supple when cold.
