Topic: Looking for glovesPosted: Dec/02/2011 at 8:14pm |

As the subject states.. looking for some new gloves. I have a pair of Under Armor that I use and I love them, but its time for some new ones. I really want warm wind proof water resistant gloves that are form fitting. I dont like the fuzzy liners in some gloves out there. I dont want them to be big puffy gloves either, pretty much like those cheap $5 gloves you get that are really tight on is what I want. What do you all use?

Pow gloves are pretty nice esp for the price. they have non-bulky gloves.

Look at Celetek or Grenade gloves and if you want them to be warmer buy a pair of glove liners to wear underneath and keep yo handpieces dry.

Gore tex anything is king! I picked up some mechanics gloves that are insulated and waterproof for under $20 at my local army surplus. They're a low profile compared to most winter gloves. I haven't used them in really cold weather yet, but they kept my hands toasty at 25 so I think they'll do the trick in slightly colder weather too. Can't remember the brand, I think they're Gorgonz or something like that.
You won't find any $5 gloves that keep your hands warm, but you can find some out there that won't break the bank.

warm, waterproof, windproof, and form fitting usually dont go togeather when taking about snowboard gloves. Most the thin fromfitting gloves are pipegloves or sping gloves and they arent usually the warmest and usually have only ok waterproofing. I would just look up the different goretex gloves out there and pick the one with the lowest profile. I think that will be your best shot at getting a glove thats actually warm wind and water proof that isnt super bulky. I would check out pow's gloves they got some that have goretex and dont seem to be too bulky.

I'd second this. I used the Dakine Omegas which are pretty similar and had warm, dry hands all day.

I just bought new under armour gloves and not going to lie, they were expensive, but not too many gloves have the longer sleeves and straps that keep snow out of your hands and wrists. Two things I definitely hate, snow getting trapped on your neck and hands

I love the Burton Gore Tex gloves. They do everything you want in a glove.
Make sure to buy a size up so you can wear the inner liner because it's a two-part glove. I love it, check it out. |

I am a bid fan of the burton gore-tex gloves. Good price but burton gear tends to wear out quickly.

+1 on manzella. i recently got 2 pairs, 1 for myself and 1 for the gf. both fit really well and are nicely insulated without being too bulky. but like someone said, if u want form-fitting, ull need park gloves which cant keep the cold/wet out for long
