[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 660512, member: 3828"] I just today received my FirstGear TPG Glacier Gloves that I referenced in the first post. Wow. I'm liking the design of these gloves a lot. These gloves are advertised as being waterproof, with a full HIPORA breathable liner. But unlike the snowmobile gloves that Roadrunner just reported having grip problems with, the inner liners on these do not want to shift or slide at all. The back sides of the hands have a medium amount of insulation, but the palms have nothing more than the thin polyester jersey lining (and the HIPORA lining) between your hand and the leather palm of the glove. The grip heat should penetrate these gloves very nicely. The gauntlets are also uninsulated, so you can wrap them tight around your arm and tuck them inside the sleeves of your jacket if you want, rather than having the gauntlet on the outside of the jacket. Having minimal insulation makes these gloves much more nimble than any other winter / waterproof gloves I've tried before. Construction of the gloves seems first rate and the XL size fits my 9 1/2" hands perfectly. I am guessing that these gloves will be good for cool to cold weather (maybe 40F - 65F, but may not be suitable for the true deep freeze arctic sub-zero conditions since there is no insulation in some parts of the glove. But that's OK with me as I plan on using the big ass bulky electrically heated gloves for those infrequent times when the weather is that cold and there's no white stuff on the streets (snow and salt). I'll do a full review when I've had a chance to wear them a few times. But at this point they seem pretty good for the specific temperature range I mention above. [/QUOTE]
