Jarrod Blundy's review
Two-in-one gloves/mittens! Been hiking, skiing, and climbing in these gloves a ton. They offer good grip, and the thin mitten pull-over provides surprising warmth. They're my go-to winter gloves for anything except for the coldest days. For colder conditions, I'd bump up to the Helio Tour Gloves.
