It also zips into the pants to make it like a onesy Bib and brace pants, no more snow down my back side, keeps in a lot of warmth too.

PowderBum 0 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yes, the white ones, not the black tops. How were they for you last season? I'm based in Tokyo and more of the weekend warrior type (30 to 40 days a season) in Nagano, Niigata, Gunma. This Christmas and New Year's, finally, I'll be in Hokkaido for two weeks, thus, The Opus.

Dunga 1 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Anyone got some good recommendations for gloves/mits? Just wore a hole through my leather/gortex dakine ones. I want some that will be warm for Hokkaido pow, last time my fingers froze... Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 My goretex burtons are leaking after about 50 days too, worn out at the finger tips These things look like my next foray into the glove world http://hestragloves.com/en/gloves/alpine-pro/#en/gloves/alpine-pro/ Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Best solution for really cold conditions and gloves is using liners. I haven't met a glove yet that can deliver as good warmth factor in harsh conditions as an average glove PLUS liners. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hestra, Leki & Black Diamond are all pretty good (speaking as someone who suffers from cold hands) Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Considering I wasn't supposed to buy anything last season and ended up getting new boots, bindings, board, jacket, pants, shovel, probe, and beacon, my wife would probably divorce me if I bought anything this season.

anything 6 Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 My goretex burtons are leaking after about 50 days too, worn out at the finger tips These things look like my next foray into the glove world http://hestragloves....ves/alpine-pro/ ive been a hestra fan for quite a long time until recently i was very disappointed with my latest set of gloves (purchased at start of last season). they packed out almost immediately, were nowhere near as versatile as the previous pair i had (warm in cold, cold in warm), and the stitching for the leather is already showing signs of wear and coming undone. the same stuff happened to my old pair, but after more than 300 days on snow plus snow shoveling!, these are failing after only about 100 skiing. i think ill be getting something else next time.
