Tips For Choosing Gloves;
Glove vs Mitts vs Claw
• Glove - High dexterity (ski touring), not so concerned about the cold
• Mitts - More concerned about cold, you can add hand warmers to fingers
• Claw - Concerned about cold but still require some dexterity
Built-in Liner vs Removable
• Built-in Liner - Not bothered to wash, simple, can't lose the liner
• Removable - Require washability and to replace and refresh the liner
Waterproofing
• Gore-Tex - Your gloves get wet and stay wet all day and over multiple-days
• Leather - Your gloves get periodically wet. Repels water to a point. You need to take care of them - treat and maintain them.
Warmth
• Use the temperature rating as a guide
