Winter "pro" gloves are not ski gloves, even if they are used for skiing. In the French Alps, wearing gloves [1] that identify you as not a tourist is quite common.

- Jabbles 5y agoThose aren't waterproof - surely that matters?
- dan-robertson 5y agoWhen it is below freezing, the snow isn’t very wet. You could do fine with some thick woolly gloves or mittens in those conditions too.
- swader999 5y agoYour hands do sweat so they need to breathe a bit. Wind proof is more useful for skiing than waterproof.
- notatoad 5y agoyou put sno-seal on them
- dougmwne 5y agoThe main reason to wear these is abrasion resistance for working with ropes and tools. They are not needed for everyday skiing and a goretex glove is going to be a better and easier choice. Unless you really need that snowgun maintenance crew chic.
- cjonas 5y agoIn the US, a pair of 20 dollar kinco full leather gloves + snoseal will immediately give you "local" cred and save you from overpriced name brand junk that doesnt hold up.
- rjsw 5y agoThe ones in my link are even cheaper than that, as worn by every refuse collector and ski lift operator in Chamonix.
