Thank you so much for sharing these glove recommendations, Phil! I am unfamiliar with EMS’s Ascent Summit and Mercury gloves, but both models are also available in women’s. I’ve added them to my list to try, and I am excited to check them out. Thanks again, and here’s to a tremendous snowshoeing season! – Susan, Snowshoe Mag Editor

The Mercury gloves are lightly insulated with 133g PrimaLoft Silver and are better for milder temps, though I regularly wear them down to maybe 5F without my hands becoming more than slightly chilled (usually the thumbs.) They’re just over wrist length, long enough to pull your jacket cuffs over them, and are very breathable with a light DWR. Rain or wet snow will soak through pretty quickly.
The Ascent Summit gloves are fully waterproof winter sports gloves, with 170g PrimaLoft Silver insulation, elastic gathering at the wrists, gauntlet cuffs with elastic drawcords, leashes, and hang loops on the middle fingers. When active my hands are comfortable in below-zero F temps.
