Glove question...

[*Pow2ThePeople]

im looking to buy a new pair of gloves, most likely park/pipe gloves.

id like to spend no more than $40 on the gloves and a decent liner that i can put in on colder days.

id like your input on which to buy from experience etc.

thanks!

go to ur hardware store and buy some leather gloves for 10$. get water proofing stuff and ur set. best grip and actually really really warm.

i think that will be my last resort if i cant find anything that i like. sounds like it would work, but im not too sure about the warmth without a liner or something.

park gloves+colder days=bad idea

just watch tramdock/brociety, or look on backcountry outlet. get yourself a pair of park gloves and a pair of mittens, your hands will be happier.

i have a decent pair of burton gloves right now that i will probably get liners for but they have been holding up nicely, just not as wind resistant as i would like.

im just looking for people's experience with different park gloves so i can decide on which one to get.

another random question: has anyone ever worn park gloves under something else on bitter cold days?

tramdock right now. its 9:56 EST. good deal

im looking more toward Dakine or grenade gloves, anyone have experience with those?

i have the dakine scout glove, awesome.
keeps you dry, warm and blocks wind. easy to get on and off too. great glove, well worth it.

i was looking at those earlier and definitely considering them.

im more interested in park gloves tho... experiences?

a few of my friends have park gloves and really hate them on a day thats colder than 25. the scouts are really slim though and good for park. i don't think its worth it to freeze your fingers off, so the scouts are perfect for me

i have a pair of joystick gloves, they are decently warm, look awesome, quality is great and i got a great deal on them. i would check out joystick gloves if you can find some on sale for cheap somewhere

 

[*Pow2ThePeople]

alright, thanks for the input!

im looking for gloves for the 20-25+ degree days since my burton gloves pretty much cover everything colder (with a liner and the occasional hand warmer)

still, ill definitely look into the scouts as a possibility

 

[steezeball478]

yeah i found these on porters tahoe:

they are the gloves that i have and i absolutley love them! and plus they are kind of around your price range. i use these gloves up to about 20-25 at the coldest with a liner so if your looking for a glove for that temperature range they will be good for you

 

[*Pow2ThePeople]

nice! thanks

those are just outside of my price range but they could definitely work. ive looked at at just a couple of other joystick gloves but those seem the most legit. ill def look further into those

reviving an old thread...

I've been using a Dakine scout glove for 2 seasons, NEVER had a problem with them, in any sort of condition. I actually have a new pair I can sell you if you would like.

Heres a link to them:

(Again, I have gloves, not mittens)

 

[*Pow2ThePeople]

id be interested in buying those, depending on what size and how much?

 

[Zump.]

They're XL, and a buddy of mine just blew out his finger on his glove, I'm going to check with him to see if he wants them first

 

[*Pow2ThePeople]

not a problem, i think XL would be too big for me anyway
