Kuiu cold weather gloves layer options

[Skybuster]

Anyone have experience with the line.

I don’t have Raynaud syndrome but my hand run cold.

Looking to be comfortable all the way down to 15-20F.

The insulation in the Northstar Glomitt sound good Primaloft Gold 340g back - 170g palm
But I would prefer a smaller cuff.

The Cuff on the Northstar Glove version look smaller but I guess it should be similarly big.
Primaloft 285g, 115g.

The Expedition glove look more of what I’m looking for but I’m afraid it won’t be as warm, it also seem it would be more effort to put on due to the fitted Neoprene cuff. Primaloft 230g back, 115g palm.

Would the Expedition glove and Axis glove be a good combo or it would be a tight fit, bulky uncomfortable?

I think the Kenai glove look to puffy to be used as liners but because they are build with Stunner stretch would they work as liners with the Expedition gloves?

The other liners the Merino 210 and Strongfleece 220 look thin.

Or don’t risk it and get the Northstart Glomitt with Kenai glove if it fit or Axis glove?

Thanks.

Wasn’t a fan of the axis glove as a stand alone, hands couldn’t breathe while hiking causing the sweat to make them colder. In a static situation they are a stiffer material therefore not comfortable as a liner. Also have the strong fleece 220(?) they are a good liner or light stand alone glove.

I have the expedition glove - can't say I'm impressed with ergonomics and doubt you can layer with that fit.

That what I also thought due to the cuff being so slim.
Thanks for confirming they won’t work then.

I would not thought they get stiff as they look soft form fitting.

Now I’m not sure if the Kenai would fit under the Northstar Glomitt as they look way puffier than the Axis but might be even softer.
Or get one of the real liners like the strongfleece 220 or merino 210.

Do you know which one is warmer the strongfleece or merino.

I guess I get the Kenai and see how they feel under the Glomitt and also one of the other liners and return one of them

The axis material is like a thin soft shell, the sf is just a fleece. They would take up the same volume but the resistance from the axis material drove me nuts under my mitts.

Kenai gloves are more like a puffy glove than a liner, three times the volume of a liner glove. The northstar was like kuiu’s version of a ski glove or a kenai glove with a more robust outer shell.

Liner gloves and an insulated mit are my go to for cold glassing. A good ski glove for being active in cold conditions or camp chores when some dexterity is needed.
