New glove suggestions

For touring I use a thin OR GTX mitt shell and if needed another OR glove or mitt under the shell. Actually, most of the time skinning up they hang from my wrists (idiot cords!) because I am hot. I put them on when I stop and when I go down.

For resort / slackcountry I use Level Superpipe gloves: xcr w/ wrist + knuckle protection and brass pyramids on the fingers  

Have also  tried the Petzl belay gloves (Kyle Miller recommended), the insulated worker gloves (both of these after baking in snoseal), some BD 3Xdry softshell + wool liners, and still not 100% happy...

For glacier travel and rescue knots and such: am thinking about the Arc'teryx lether with bonded gtx membrane, and I hear Marmot has something similar now that's developed for the Army. Not convinced I need them, and the fingers on the Arc' seem like short fat italian sausages.

Ideally, I need a modular glove that has high dexterity (fit), durability (leather), with a stand-alone waterproof + breathable shell (full wpf - not just some 'strategic' parts of it), but also can be beefed up with a wool liner for colder temps, and fit in another mitt for 'super' cold temps. Still haven't found

Cheers

I'm trying Kinco work gloves. Can't beat the price. Coat with SnoSeal and bake for 15 minutes every few weeks. Not particularily warm, but with OR overmitts as needed thay are good for any temp. Versions with knit wrists work much better.

No problem Chuck. Maybe the dishwasher for the iPad screen?

Re: gloves -- I use Kinco-like leather gloves like Clem describes for most of my winter touring. They breathe well enough for the up and as long as they get regular snowsealing they stay dry all day. Price is definitely right, especially since I'm usually pretty hard on gloves.

I'm digging the OR Ambit. So far solid for wet and cold.

I just got them too on sale, so far so good. Hoping they stay dry. Bonus feature of smartphone finger use without removing gloves.

Disclaimer; I'm not sponsored by DaKine (wish I was) I was big on the Marmott two piece over the cuff expedition style gloves for years. I'd pull the liner and just wear the shell most days. Switched a couple of years ago to the Dakine goretex under the cuff and haven't looked back. A little spendy $65-$86 with a lifetime warranty. My hands usually sweat (not a lot for a fat kid mind you) and the goretex keeps me reasonable dry. I use the uninsulated version a lot for skinning cuz I do sweat a lot then. I have gotten used to the under the cuff, nice when its snowing or I hand check right before the yard sale as they don't fill with snow. I find most of my moisture comes from within, not from the outside so much so haven't used a lot of snoseal. I'm not certain how well they hold up to a lot of pit digging and winter camp activities. I'd probably choose something else for wood splitting or tire chain putting on.
