I was wondering what people have found to work for unshelled wool gloves other than the PossumDown ones. Something that keeps your hands warm and dry and has a lightweight and durability factor built in. Thanks.

Nov 28, 2007 at 6:16 am #1410447Your average $5 Army Wool glove (http://www.gr8gear.com/catalog/Gloves/) is actually pretty decent for keeping your hands warm and isn't scratchy.
Alternately, Smartwool, Icebreaker, and (I think) Ibex all make "nicer" wool gloves…
Oh, and here's a link for those Defeet gloves – DuraGlove
