    Greg McCandless's review

    I own these and they are my spring skiing gloves. They are not insulated, just a nice leather glove that can be used as a Fall/Spring or even driving glove. The Active Wool Terry version adds lightweight insulation if you are interested in a spring skiing glove that isn't leather only. I prefer these just because I "run hot!"
