However, they couldn't cope with Tignes last week, -17C at resort level so goodness knows what it was at the top in the wind. That doesn't sound too bad. I've been in -33 in Val Thorens with some old Goretex gloves and was fine. I did have silk under gloves on though So did I. -- Colin Irvine |

What do people suggest? Ideally tryable-on in the UK, but I'd settle for mail order XLs. Try Outdoor Research (OR)..... |

I have some thick leather unlined rodeo gloves which I use for warm weather. You still need gloves on even in T-shirt weather and insulated gloves are hot and sweaty. I took mine off once and only once and sliced open my hand on the ski for my trouble. |
