It is not a standout glove in any category but it also does not fail to deliver in all of our metrics. With its waterproof breathable gore tex fabrication these gloves are ideal for downhill skiing and will keep youfeeling and looking your best on the slopes. The cinch strap across the back of the glove works very well. Marmot s falcon grip the fingers are made slightly curved is nice as they feel natural rather than artificially holding my hands more open.

It offers a great feature set decent durability and a super soft lining. The randonnee is light enough for touring use 9oz in the 2007 version. The glove isn t coming off by mistake easily with this strap tightened. They held up well to some tough situations i put them through on the mountain and not a bit of moisture got through the gloves.
