2008 Cloudveil Far Drift | Reviewed On: February 8, 2009
Gear Reviews>>Gloves>>Mid Weight>>Cloudveil Far DriftPRODUCT SUMMARY
By powderjunky
THE GOOD
The Cloudveil Far Drift gloves are soft, cozy and waterproof. They are relatively snug, allowing for great dexterity.
THE BAD
The Far Drift gloves are sometimes too warm for hiking uphill. Men with larger hands also might find them to be too snug, which would decrease the loftiness of the insulation and effectively make them less warm.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Cloudveil consistently makes good, warm gloves. The Far Drift gloves are waterproof too!
