Tony (and take some hunny for the bears!)

I've actually been looking at Goretex gloves designed for military. They cost more than the packs I bought but they are drastically reduced now. Winter gear is tricky because keeping moisture out is important but you don't want to seal it in either since sweating makes a person cold when exertion stops. I learned not to sweat too hard in cold weather.
