Softshell gloves are an excellent choice for ski touring and high-output riding. The stretchy woven fabric gives you outstanding dexterity for handling bindings, skins, and poles, and breathes far better than nylon or leather shells so your hands won't get clammy on the climb.
The trade-off is weather protection. Softshell isn't fully waterproof, so in deep powder, wet snow, or stormy conditions, your hands will likely get wet and cold. They're best suited for spring skiing, mild days, and aerobic touring where you're generating plenty of body heat.
If most of your riding is resort-based in midwinter conditions, you'll probably want a more weather-resistant shell like nylon or leather instead. But for the skin track and sunny corn days, softshell is hard to beat.
