Looking to get some gloves - any advice?

Bandit, you and ise never cease to amaze me. It's like you have a photo for every single eventuality :D

I'm also thinking about getting some new gloves. I have a pair of Reusch leather gloves which are great when its cold, but I could do with a thinner pair for warmer weather. I have previously just used mountain biking gloves, as I dont tend to suffer from cold hands. But I'd prefer something waterproof really - if that's possible. I've been looking at this website http://www.backcountry.com/store/group/272/Ski-Gloves.html#app=price%7E+group%7E272+brand%7E+sortby%7E+cat%7E11+subcat%7E100000008+offset%7E-1+on_sale%7E+page_name%7ESki-Gloves for inspiration. But the thinner gloves seem be quite short, which I dont really want. Thanks in advance. And sorry if i've hijacked the thread a bit!

bandit, great pic, but I think I lost mine in a bar :oops:Surely not the first nor the last.

I noticed my ski instructor was wearing 2 pairs of gloves, an inner and a waterproof outer pair.

And, incidentally, my other ski instructor seemed to have electrical boot warmers - I wondered what he was doing to start with, adjusting electrical controls on his boots - like was he bionic or what?

All the top brands make some great gloves. I have some Marmot Ultimate that are great down to about 25F(I get cold hands really easy!). Below that, I now use Mountain Hardwear Alpinist mitts. I am regularly tempted to buy some Hestra, but I have so many gloves now that I can't possibly justify it! :) I, also, have some Dakine Cobra that I wear when it's not to cold, or wet. They seem to be pretty well made. Full leather takes a while to dry if you are putting your hands in the snow a lot. . .

Mexicomark, I would suggest you check out some of the Arc'teryx gloves. They are quite nice for warmer weather. I have the Hardface, but they aren't waterproof. Also, the North Face Pamir is a great windstopper fleece with more length in the wrist. Price isn't bad if you can find it on sale.
