i have never used POW gloves, but i do have dakine cobras. they are sick gloves, and by far the best ive ever had, definitely worth the 70 bucks which is a good thing considering they are the only thing i willingly spent retail on this year. very comfortable, pretty thin/easy mobility. the goretex is awesome, and keeps my hands very warm and dry even when the leather gets wet. and the leather? oh so soft, especially after a couple uses it gets super soft, i love it. and they dry out quickly and will be perfect the next morning for those consecutive days of slayage.
all in all probably the best 70 bucks ive spent in the last 4 months.
