The gloves he talks about may be even more interesting for me. My biggest problem with gloves is having my hands sweat and the only time my hands get cold is when I have sweated up the inside of the glove and it gets wet. My solution for years has been to take them off on the lifts whichlps cool down my hands and prevents moisture buildup. These gloves may be perfect for me with greater breathability.

After seeing this I reda up on DryQ and reda some reviews of the technology from some alpine climbing sites. Looks like the stuff is quite good and a true step forward. 



John,

I bought the next model down the MH line, called the "Medusa". On Altrec they have same '10 leftovers for $115 (mine were $90). No XL's left, as I have long thin fingers, I need the length. No real change in this years model, just more $$ to buy. My concern is how much will the palm and finger bottom's breath as there is leather on the exterior of the glove. Some reviews found them "cold" and that may indicate superior breathing. Mine have removable liners...I like the ability to change liners during the day, or, just do without on warmer days.
All I know is that I skied with ToddW in the rain at K'ton last year and there was water trapped inside my old gloves making it very uncomfortable.

What do you use in Montana on very cold days?
