I was thinking of purchasing some Gore mittens that are on sale at cabelas and cut out the lining so its just a shell. Mittens with removable lining seem to be a lot more expensive and don't quite understand why. Seems it would be easier to make. Anyhow is there any reason why I shouldn't or is there a place that just sells the goretex shells?

Thanks.
