[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1368264, member: 54178"] Over the years I have found that foe cold weather (below 20 F.) I like gloves with the following features: 1. Gore-Tex lined nylon shells with a drawstring gauntlet (must cover well above my wrist area) 2. leather palms/fingers (goatskin preferred for durability) 3. removable fleece liners (with knit wrist area if possible) 4. light synthetic insulation in the shell (Thinsulate or Primaloft) In addition to the removable pile liner I carry at least one other pile liner so I can put a dry one in when the 1st liner gets sweaty. You can buy spare fleece liners, sometimes at big box stores. Right now Black Diamond sells two gloves like this, the Soloist and the Torrent. The Torrent has no built-in insulation in the shell, hence the lower price. The Soloist, with its thin built-in insulation can be used without the liner in warmer situations. I think Cabela's has a pair like this too. I've had good GTX gloves from Cabela's and they [I]last.[/I] Yes, they are expensive but so is severe, amputating frostbite. :( Eric B. [/QUOTE]
