Park gloves, any opinions?

Go to backcountry.com and cheack out some park gloves there. They have good reviews and look dope. I don't have any park gloves, but a lot of my friends have them and prefer them over regular gloves when it is above 25 F.
 
Park gloves are sick when it's warm, not when it's cold, so remember that before purchasing a pair, in other words make sure you either have a pair of regular gloves/mittens for the cold. I have a pair of Empire gloves, they are legit, I skied them almost everyday last season and they didn't rip, tear or wear away, the only thing that happened was the lettering on the palm started to wear away when I did handdrags. Grenade makes some pretty sick gloves too. Also, check out Dakine and Hestra, they make some in between kinda gloves, not quite park but not very big either.
 
i got some Dakine Chargers two seasons ago and theyre still goin strong for me. theyre no exactly a pipe glove, but theyre thin enough to give the dexterity for vice-gripping your grabs. i thought since they were that thin they'd get really cold, but no my digits never got cold. that was 2 seasons ago so the newer Dakine lines are probably even better.

I just wear a pair of cheap work gloves with the silicone grip. They make ones that are insulated and actually pretty sweet.
 
the Empire's I had were super nice a little thicker than other gloves and with thin gloves underneath I wore them on semi-cold days in the winter too
 
now what is the point of having park gloves? They are GLOVES!!!! why do u have to have gloves for the park. its just a way for companies to get you to pay way more money for something kinda dumb
 
They are thiner and lighter than regular gloves, it helps with grabs, and feel less bulky. Not to mention they are usually cheaper then regular gloves. Most park gloves are basically spring gloves.
 
the empire ones are legit when its not too cold. i was wearing mine in tremblant on suuuuuper cold days (obviously not advised) and my hands absolutely froze, that was when letters would come off getting stuck to the bar of chairlifts.
 
hey jt88jibber grow some balls and rock some fuckin mittens.

YOUR A FUCKIN DOUTCHE BAG HOMO COCK SUCKING STUPID ASS PIECE OF SHIT.

but seriously go wit some POW gloves. those rule! or those rasta colored ones with the bud leaves a few posts above mine.
 
I've wanted to know what those were for soooo long after I saw a shot of them. Thank you for that.
I got my park gloves for $17, went to my local gardening store and picked up the cheapest pair I could find. Spandex backs for flexibility and leather hands for grip. Can't go wrong.
