Can anyone make an in field comparison between ZP's Possum Down gloves( I guess 50% merino 50% or so possum down?) and Smartwool Liner Gloves?
I already have the SW merino Liner gloves which are 45% merino 45% acrylic. They work fine as a casual liner. I've had two pr but as one reviewer stated I too have had durability issues where the fingers attach to the palm out on the trail. I typically use these type gloves as liners over a shell.
My main questions are performance related in these regards... Are the Possum Down gloves warmer?, more water resistant?, bulkier? Has anyone with some high degree of use had any durability issues as stated with the Possum down gloves.
Lastly, since I have very long fingers, anyone also with very long fingers use the Possum down gloves in XL? Or, can anyone offer their take on the finger length?
