My current glove system has Montbell merino inner glove + EE Stronghold Mitts as an insulation layer.
The merino glove is not too durable and I also want smth better for summer than generic white working gloves from hardware stores.
The obvious downside would be colder fingertips if I go fingerless or hotter hands in summer if I go full gloves.
I was thinking about DIY-ing an extra layer of Apex into my EE mittens, either full outer palm area or over fingertips only.
The work gloves I have used as sun gloves would make a poor insulating layer – not that they do not have some insulative capacity, it’s just a lot less for the weight than a powerstretch glove or similar. I can see taking my sun gloves on a spring trip with sun on the snow, but I would take them in addition to my other handwear, not as a replacement for part of my system.
If you want more durability, look for some Polypropylene liners, they are far more durable than the merino – practically indestructible in my experience.
I like Powerstretch liner gloves for the warmth and comfort, but the durability is limited. I have come to accept that, I look around and get them when I find them on sale.
