Worth every penny I was hesitant about spending the money, but have no regrets. These gloves are wonderful. Schoeller fabrics are the age of the future. Try them and see for yourself.

Great fit and feel I bought these gloves for skiing and they did not disapoint. They fit perfectly and have a wonderful broken-in feel. The Schoeller and leather liner gloves work well as a separate pair for spring skiing.

Keep your hands warm and dry. These are the best gloves I have ever used. You can ski all day in zero degree temps and your fingers stay warm...even without the liners. The one unfortunate thing is that they got rid of the soft nose wipe and goggle wipe on the 2006 gloves. That was a great function to have and I wish the new ones came with them.

over priced Skiing Copper the last two week-ends, I found the gloves to be very comfortable, however not as warm as I expected. with a handwarmer they were great. Mitten inserts as an option will work. Very expensive.

Great idea if it fits I bought this glove a year ago and, although the Vert glove fits perfectly, it is too snug to use as a liner with the larger Super Couloir glove. OR acknowledged that this has been a problem for some people and offered to do whatever I wanted to rectify the problem including a full refund for well used gloves. I opted to get the 2006 version of the larger glove which, they say, will be a more generous fit. I agree with everything else said about these gloves and give the company a "5" for customer service.

Super Couloir Glove Review Large glove combo was to restricting with both liner and outer together, X-Large is too loose individually and about right combined. I think in my situation a Large liner and X-Large outer would be just right.
Maybe I should have stayed with Large and used liner and outer individually.
On a cold day the outer shell was enough protection by it's self.

Sublime!! These are probably the best and last pair of ski gloves I will ever buy. I needed a new pair for my up coming trip to Snowbird and Alta and the Super Couloir Gloves are amazing. The light weight inner glove is excellent for carrying equipment and handling gear while the outer glove keeps you dry no matter how deep the powder.
