Marmot randonnee glove review.

It offers a great feature set decent durability and a super soft lining. This is a comfortable and well fitting glove. These marmot women s randonnee gloves are well thought out sturdy and durable feeling with their long cuffs cord pulls water resistant nylon outer shell and goat leather palms and tips of the fingers. The palm material is reasonably grippy but i have seen better.

These are rather pricey gloves but are the warmest ski gloves i think i have ever owned in 54 years of skiing and i love having the security of the wrist strap when needing to remove them while riding the lift. Marmot randonnee gloves these gloves kept my hands nice and warm. The marmot randonnee is a great single glove for a day out on the lifts. The gloves have a good gauntlet to cover your sleeves they cinch tight without difficulty and they have a detachable runaway loop for your sleeve so they won t drop and blow away.

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. Reviewed in the united states on december 25 2016 replaces an older pair of marmot ski gloves i had that were wearing out. With a driclime wicking lining the randonnee allows your hands to stay dry on the inside while gore tex fends off wetness on the outside. These are lined with a softly fuzzy gortex which feelx like you re putting your hands into a warm cloud.

The randonnee is light enough for touring use 9oz in the 2007 version. Marmot s falcon grip the fingers are made slightly curved is nice as they feel natural rather than artificially holding my hands more open. The glove isn t coming off by mistake easily with this strap tightened. The randonnee is marmot s mid range ski glove.

It is not a standout glove in any category but it also does not fail to deliver in all of our metrics.
