Glove advice

[Sky]

I tried on the Swany glovesw I asked them to order for me....nice, all leather.

They also had Hestra gloves in stock...tried the glove....better than the Swany.

Tried the three-finger mitten....SOLD! Removable liner (which is a glove).

The Swany "thumb" wouldn't allow my had to expand/open all the way....glove's thumb was too short. Otherwise a very nice glove.

Here's what I bought. These are for when it's really cold.

I have other gloves that are lighter-weight.

19-1/2

Actually...the 11 fits very well. That particular glove is "roomy". Without the liner...it's a warehouse. :>

You are some cold blooded people.

At all but the coldest temperatures I only wear a thin park glove. On the cold days(low teens and below) I wear a heavy park glove and my hands are still sweating.
I do not own any insulated pants/jackets and never close the vents either.

Multiple pair! I tried on the Hestra Glove, that mitten...somebody else's all leather glove...other Hestra models...it was a glove-fest!

Lots of nice stuff...wouold have been happy with any of them....but the Hestra was that much more comfy.

One of my pair of gloves(Marmot Ultimates) I had a glove with a thumb like that, was $35 (August sale @shop near Okemo)..bought em', spliced in a patch of matching leather..sewed up the spliced patch= free thumb..and they've been good to go since... At $35 I couldn't resist the challenge....:lol:

I purchased these, though in black for last season. Great glove, fingers never got cold and the versatility is fantastic. I'm not sure the same model is still available, but their 2 and 1 system is great.

Just pulled the trigger on these. Good price but the shipping was high, $15 to ship a pair of gloves UPS ground. :-o

Well I got a chance to try them out in the NCP last Monday and my hands stayed dry all day. With the liner on the "grip" side my hands didn't overheat even with the warmer temps. I still haven't had the chance to try them out on a cold day but at the very least I have myself an awesome pair of spring gloves.
