I prefer the unlined Showa 281 gloves (1-2 sizes larger than what I normally wear) and using my own liner gloves. I have been using them for a couple of years. They are great for paddling in cool weather too
The 282-02's have a hiker with trekking poles on the package now. These have a strong smell out of the box, I put them outside to air out. Definitely size up, I usually wear a xl and I ordered a xxl and they are barely big enough. I will be testing these on the Pinhoti Trail this winter. These should be good for those 33 deg F rainy days. It's hard to find gloves for that work in freezing rain.
Should have a picture of Skurka on the package as I know he has preached them for a while. It is cool they are marking them for outdoor sports now as they have risen in popularity.

Great review, Alan. Thanks.
Waiting on the availability of the black ones.
Mark, go to the link in the description section. The written review has a link to the black "02" gloves. Best, -alan
Adventure Alan Will do. Thanks kindly.
Those seem ideal for us in Oregon.
Hope they work out for you Tom! Warmest, Alan
