    spring gloves - Cloudveil spring troller, OR extravert or Ibex climawool?

    I'm looking for spring skiing gloves 30f - 45f degree range.

    I get way too sweaty in my winter gloves (OR Alti, Level Fly) and they don't breath at all.

    Any suggestions on good, breathable gloves for the above?

    I have seen online Cloudveil Spring Troller, but it looks like way too much leather vs. softshell so they would just sweat through and stay wet. Any experience with this glove or the Ibex Climawool or OR Extravert?

    thanks

    I am also hot-handed, and use the Spring Troller in the degree range you describe. It is a good balance between breathability and water-resistance for my usage (primarily east coast snowboarding). Haven't tried the other two. For more breathability vs waterproofness and warmth, check out halfpipe glove offerings from burton, dakine, grenade, etc.

    I've been using the extrovert this year for most days BC and warmer days for resort. No complaints at all. They breath great and am enjoying the wool linner. they still feel warm when thing get too sweaty. Only complaint would be the leather seams at the fingers are a little boxy which means the gloves come off for fixing little things....

    I think the Extravert could be too warm. I use it as a winter glove and find it comparable to my regular Trollers.

    I just buy lined leather workgloves for spring.

    been using the Mtn Hardware Torque glove for skinning/spring skiing. Works really well

    I'm too lazy to do a search to see if they still make it but it's a worthwhile addition to your list

    Marmot Spring Glove

    I've been rocking them for 15 years (not the same pair).
    Do you by chance happen to own a large, yellowish, very flat cat?

    Bought a set of construction gloves at the Super Market for $11.

    They look and feel just like the "spring ski" gloves they sell at shops for $55.

    Those are excellent gloves that can be used for mid-winter temperatures too.

    Marmot also makes a glove called a "basic work glove" that has a leather exterior and lightweight fleece lining that I like even better for spring skiing because it's not quite as warm as their spring glove. Oh yeah, and it's only $15. A little sno-seal on those babies and you're golden.

    How great is it that they haven't changed the MARKER Spring Glove in like 20 years? You can't improve perfection:

    Of course not.

    They're Marker DUKE Spring Gloves, meaning they're infallible. Like the Pontiff.

    $20 @ Ace hardware. breathe great, add snowseal and you can carry your slushy skis onto the tram and not get wet.

    For what it's worth my hands run hot and I have been using the Mechanix gloves for the last several seasons with no complaints and they're cheap.

    Seriously, go to a hardware store and pick up something cheap. My gloves are stretchy, breathable nylon with a thin coat of rubber on the palm side. I use them all the time and they work perfectly. They're super dexterous and surprisingly warm (the rubber bottom creates a kind of vapor barrier). They're also light as hell and cost $7.

    Second. I've had the same pair of Spring Gloves for 4 years. I ski with it in any temps above 25 deg f. Best gloves I've ever owned.

    Go to Home Depot and buy the "FG" gloves that say "All Purpose" on them. They're 10 bucks and they rule for a spring glove.
    If it's green, smoke it...if it's pink, poke it
