Chris Wilson - 2005-01-17
Good quality glove OR's quality is well demonstrated by the Arete glove. These gloves dry quickly after a day of use, are warm, and appear to be very durable. I have no qualms predicting that these gloves will last a very long time and will keep my hands warm while doing so. Buying a glove with a removable liner is key for me, as my hands sweat profusely. I bought a pair of patagonia capilene fleece gloves that I can switch out midday. By the next morning the OR liners are dry. Never have wet hands again!

Great product These gloves were very warm compared to other similar products I have tried. The removeble liners were great. They kept my hands toasty down to about 20 degrees.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No ( 1 of 2 found this review helpful.)

Happy Customer I was looking for gloves that were water proof and would be durable yet provide warmth even without the liners. These gloves met what I was looking for and the liner quality, wrist straps, and pull ties all exceeded my expectations.
