Ezorisu 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Gore-tex is your friend. Had a set of DaKine ones before, now running Burton AK 3L Gore gloves. Most Gore gloves have a middle-layer Gore-tex insert, whereas the shell fabric on the AK's is the laminated membrane, sort of like a jacket - all seam-taped and everything.

panhead_pete 27 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I have burton mittens and really liked the warmth after gloves, sorry cant recall which model. Link to post Share on other sites
wattiewatson 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 i have a pair of burton gloves i like. the thing i like about them is that they are super long. The come up well above the wrist. It stops the pow getting up there and making your hands cold. I think these are them. Mine are quiet old but still do the job http://www.altrec.com/burton/mens-gore-glove Matt Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Get ones with the cords that tie around your wrists so you don't drop one off the lift when you take one off to get something out of your pocket. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 get nice colour coordinated ones that match your jacket. They look nice. Link to post Share on other sites
midnightcharger2 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Dissapointed with Burton gloves. After one days riding last year on a new set, the outer rubber on the tips and palm started shredding. They dont bond it to the fabric just stitched down on the seams. For the price paid they should be of better quality. Still very useable but annoyed with the quality. Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 If you're a skiier...Hestra's. They have a very unequivocal "Not for Snowboard" label attached to each pair by the Japanese importer (I assume). That was their appeal for me. Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 And just to defy that I got my self 2 pairs of hestras and 2 for my lady, both snowboarders. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Cheers Kuma for starting the thread. I have a pair of Oneil ones that my bro spent quite a bit of money getting me but after only my 10 times last year, the fabric at the rubber tips has started to pull away and they are pretty much ruined now. I liked them as well, kept my hands really warm and they were long so they stoped snow from getting down my sleeves. I saw some Burton ones but they didn't have the rubber tips and they looked like cheapo supermarket ones, will have to shop around up in Ochanomizu I reckon Link to post Share on other sites
wattiewatson 0 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I agree that on the whole burton gloves are shitty quality. Dont know why this is given that some of their other gear is nice. However i like the pair i have. I have had to do some repairs on gloves. A friend put me onto a product called shoe goo. Its a re-rubberiser. It sort of looks like tar. Doesnt look pretty but works well at repairing tears and stops all leaks. I have done all the finger tips of my gloves because i find a lot of the tears come from getting them caught in snowboard bindings. Havent had any problems since.

jared 0 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hestra - the best gloves I have ever owned (for winter rather than spring) also they were half the price from backcountrystore.com shipping included than from the store in Japan* (*a few years ago now) Link to post Share on other sites
JuniorStubbs 0 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hestra army leather heli pro, i board and i have a pair - even though the not for boarders tag. warm, dry, changeable linings, glove/split finger or mitt, cuffs, durable. Not cheap but good quality. The gore tex ones might be even better. It gets seriously cold in Banff, -42 last season. ski lifts open down to -32 (from experience at norquay) as long as wind is low. Never need extra inners with these gloves - they are that good. Funny enough i got mine from backcountry or backcountry outlet last summer. Just received this winters catalogue in the post last week, some good looking new models. Link to post Share on other sites
