Got my Marmot ski gloves
 

Well, I bought a new pair of Marmot Randonee gloves last night, to
replace the pair I lost last season (actually, I'm not sure if those
were Randonee or Piste). I was considering the Marmot Ultimate Ski
gloves, but I didn't like the fit on those for me. Also the Black
Diamond Guides. But both the Ultimate and Guides are $150, which really
is pricey.

Also picked up a new Marmot windshirt, to replace another thing I lost
last season. Geez, it was really a bad year for losing stuff.

Does anybody know if Marmot's quality has declined, since they moved all
their manufacturing to China?

Just so I know how to NOT do it, how did you lose a shirt? Gloves
ok,-- but a shirt?

I wasn't wearing it at the time. Had it in my boot bag as an extra
layer. Must not have put it back in.

Don't laugh. Some of us have "help" when it comes to losing stuff. I
had packed my favorite turtlneck and fleece pants along with some
other dirty clothes in a plastic bag inside my suitcase which was
otherwise filled with clean clothes and gear for the trip home. My
ever-so-impatient wife decided I wasn't unpacking fast enough and took
the bag out to the trash, assuming that I would naturally pack garbage
in my luggage. sigh

I hope Marmot's quality won't suffer, but I wouldn't bet on it.

_ If you're thinking about spending that much on gloves take
a look at the Cloudveil ones. They are very very nice.

_ The Troller or Snaz gloves are very nice ski gloves for
all but the coldest days. IMHO, they are much nicer than
the Marmot gloves.
