Patagonia "Stretch Element Gloves" - any Opinions?

[snoboy]

I have had a pair of Patty Stretch Triolet gloves for a few years now. Very happy.

 

Now I need new gloves, and I am thinking that the Stretch Elements would be a nice upgrade since they don't make the Triolets anymore. They are reinforced in all the areas that my gloves are wearing out.

 

Any one tried them?

Have em, love em. Warm, dry*, burly, and comfortable. Perhaps a bit bulky but when dexterity is crucial I bring a thinner set of gloves as well.

 

* any dampness from condensation build up or exterior superficial wetness dries quickly when seperated and heated.

They have fixed all the problems with the stretch triolets (eg: adding leather to high abrasion areas). Loss of a little dexterity but they are still my all around favorite!
