It's an interesting point about gore-tex
inserts smelling, I initially wanted them because I really don't want
to get wet but I think I've changed my mind now.


I've naver had a problem with gore-tex gloves smelling.



I have the Burton AK Hover Mitts with three layers - the outer
Goretex/leather, fleece liner with soccer goalie type sticky palms, and
another fleece liner. When really cold I use all three layers and is it
warms up I take out one of the inner layers. Even when really cold I end up
taking off one of the inner liners as they are VERY warm. Good choice if you
don't run through gloves and can use them multiple years as they are pricey.
My son always tries to steal them for very long/slow lift rides. I still
like Goretex but would recommend a multilayer glove/mitt. I think the mitts
keep my hands warmer.
