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? Dave |

R.(Bob) Hofmann 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. |

They are very very nice. http://www.cloudveil.com/mens-handwear-prod.php _ 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. _ Booker C.
