I got these gloves a few months ago and they have been awesome! Took them out in both cold and warm conditions on the mountain and they surpassed my expectation. I am not expert in gloves, but did some research and can attest these are one of the best on the market. High quality and a lot cool features. You wont be disappointed! Swix is a small company that I had never heard of before, but I'm glad i read some good reviews and decided to take the plunge. Worth every penny!

The best gloves I've had so far! Love the wrist straps that keep them attached to you and not flying off the chair lift. They're easy to put on and the linings don't bunch up. They seem to be very strong with leather-type grips. The padded pole guard, and knuckle protectors are great... especially when smacking the gates. I'm very happy with these gloves.I do wish they had a removable liner for the warmer days. Also, because they're white, they do get dirty easily... comes with the territory of white gloves. :)

These gloves are very comfortable and I think are designed more toward people with slender fingers. I have very large hands but yet thin fingers and the fit on the "large" was spot on. As a result, these are not roomy enough to fit any but the thinnest of liners. I haven't found a thin pair of liners for these so I've been going without and doing just fine. Also, I didn't really feel the need for liners most of the time as I was still able to tie boots, use my camera, and unwrap granola bars without taking them off. The wind and external moisture protection is great and I do not get the "glove fatigue" that I used to get with my old bulky ski gloves at the end of the day.I have taken these gloves skiing in Santa Fe and to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. I bought these to replace a very bulky pair of gloves that offered similar warmth. They have great dexterity and certainly have the comfort of much lighter gloves. For Santa Fe Skiing they were great. The average temperatures were around 15-35 degrees F and I stayed warm whether I was being particularly active or not.
These gloves were not sufficiently warm for the summit of Kilimanjaro which I would estimate around -15 to 0 degrees F. I think I would have been ok if I had put in some chemical warmers in the warmer pocket. During the Kilimanjaro summit I found ice developing on the tips of my fingers because of the sweat from my hands condensing into ice after a few hours. No danger of frostbite but still not the most pleasant experience. I don't really blame the gloves for this as I was not expecting them to be toasty at those temperatures and if I had not been delirious from the altitude, I would have stopped and put in some chemical handwarmers.
I really like the detachable elastic straps that come with these. I attach one end of the loop to my jacket sleeves and then clip onto the glove. That way I can take my gloves off without any fear of dropping them. I dropped one of my prior gloves while trying to take a photo from a ski lift and I had to ski down to find it with only one glove on. That can't happen with these!
