TBH in really cold weather you have absolutely no need for goretex. There won't be any moisture on the outside and your hands won't be sweating either. I don't currently own any serious cold gloves, but I wouldn't be bothered about waterproofness if I only wanted them for -15C conditions. Fair point. If I decide to go for Swanys then I might wait until we're in BC (for the month, next September) and find a Canadian stockist. I see that they're sponsoring a few freeride skiers here in CH, and that they have a manufacturing plant here too http://www.swanyeurope.com/ but I can't find a list of retailers. I'd be happy to pick some up for you if you can find a shop. Cheers. But what a dreadfull site! I might get in touch with them anyway and see who stocks what. -- Colin Irvine |
