What a tragedy about the kid who died up there recently. If my ankle was in better shape I'd be on my way (well, and the weather was more user friendly). :) I'll look at those gloves this week. Thanks again. Cheers Carl Hey Dave

If you are in the upper parking lot and face out towards the road, this peak is right in front of you. This was from Sunday's snowmobile ride in Hatcher's - but I'm going to go back up there just to do more photography of the skiers/boarders - GREAT place. Oops sorry Carl, I forgot your question-

Great to hear from you all. Steve, they are fast to switch between. I do find that it is a little easier to put the gloves on if the liners are already on your hand, but that's very minor. I looked at some of their higher end options as well Carl - but stuck with these because of their liners with the flip back finger/thumb covers. I only got them for photography, not for the "extra curricular" stuff you do:) I did pick up a pair of expedition weight mittens a couple of years ago from REI. They don't have a liner, but are super warm. I always carry them for my winter stuff as backups in case of very cold weather/emergencies/emergencies regarding very cold weather:)/emergencies... Actually, their very "un-cumbersome". With the shell on, they aren't as easy as regular gloves, for dexterity. But that's what the liners work great for. Hey guys (and gal).

If they are Outdoor Research though they have to be good. Never had any bad products from them. My what big mitts you have.

Cool review - OR make great gear. I hadn't seen these before - I was actually looking at their expedition line of mittens today, and they're $185.00. Cheers Carl Hey Dave

I'm always looking for better gloves than before. The mittens look like they will slip on and off real quick. Thanks for posting the gear review. I’m always looking for better gloves than before.
