Thanks Michael, appreciate the info! I finally got myself a Montane North Star down jacket, guess it should be enough for the temperatures there.We're sleeping in Mouflons, so the roaring fire is a very good news!

Also, hopefully that snow from earlier this week will consolidate over the next 2 weeks, and fingers crossed it ain't gonna snow heavily over that time - would be shame to have to turn back before reaching the summit...

Initial thank you for all your comments and advices so far!

I am definitely going to try them in the shop to see which fit best, and this is going to be huge factor in final selection. (And that's why I would rather avoid purchasing them online.) Right now though I am only asking for a theoretical selection, based on their specs.

And yes, I realize perfectly well such gloves are not waterproof. Or even water resistant. What I said was just to precise that their warmth plays much bigger role here.

O.D. Taku Stretch - not in the offer unfortunately. Looking at more "proof" models they have for example  Odlo Element Windproof - butI don't like that wrist strap, and add it unnecessary bulkiness...
