I'm having a hard time not passing. Not needing gloves should be reason enough, but for some reason I'm still convincing myself. :lol:

I went the the Black Diamonds, but an now eyeing a pair of the mittens for cold days ...

I picked up a pair of POW Gortex leather mittens from Sierra Trading Post about a month ago. The Free The Powder gloves crossed my mind, but all I could remember was the rodent logo. A snowmobiler buddy at work said he was in the market for a new pair of gloves, so I showed him this thread. I ordered 2 pair of long gauntlet seconds of the FTP gloves, one for him, one for me. Now I'm all set for whatever Ma Nature throws at me this Winter. Can't wait to check them out.

I have a pair of BD guide gloves from maybe 2 years back. They have been very good except for the coldest days when I like to sport mittens.

My old BD's lasted 10 years and were warm to the end.

Replaced them at the start of last season with the updated but identical glove.

Got my gloves in today.
1) I dare anyone to find a "defect" on them
B) the overall quality is great
3rd) I can't imagine a better value for what I see.
I will say the fit is snug, which they say on the site they will loosen up some so I think the after break-in period the fit will be perfect!

Undecided whether to put some fresh duct tape on my 15 year old Grandoe down mittens this year or break out the brand new never used 10 year old ones I have. Tough decision.
