Corey Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Look neat, but $200: https://www.amazon.com/Level-Snowboard-Protection-Superfabric-Resistant/dp/B07CLH747D That buys a lot of Shoe Goo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Outdoor Research Mt Baker modular mitts because they have a lifetime warranty and they replace them for me for free no questions asked pretty much. Pretty cool. 5 hours ago, Corey said: Look neat, but $200: https://www.amazon.com/Level-Snowboard-Protection-Superfabric-Resistant/dp/B07CLH747D That buys a lot of Shoe Goo! LOL! Good point!

They just haven’t figured out yet that you are doing the equivalent of running your mitts over a belt sander every winter. My biggest requirement for mittens is to have the fewest number of seams on the palm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest requirement for mittens is to have the fewest number of seams on the palm. I'm dreading that moment. My last pair lasted 4 seasons though. Plus they fit my flexmeter wrist guards under them. Byt that's super carve is looking damn fine. Edited March 20, 2019 by daveo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 If you don’t need a gauntlet, these are a great value: https://www.kinco.com/product/1958 they have other styles too of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the Thor glove is currently being redeveloped, btw! Manufactured in America this time also! I've got a set of kincos! While they are obviously bombproof, unfortunately they don't fit over my flexmeter wrist guards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The liners come out of the shell easier than any other two part glove I’ve seen. They’re warm and the palm of the shell is very durable.

slopestar Posted April 10, 2019 Report Share Posted April 10, 2019 Just remember that the texture associated with these types of gloves act like a magnet for the snow. I had an older pair that I ditched after 1 run when the lightest touch nearly ripped my arm off... friction is a biznatch... don’t pat the dog and leather lasts longer than anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They replaced mine for free when the taped seam inside started to detach (because I put them in the dryer against the care instructions....... oops) On 3/20/2019 at 4:16 PM, st_lupo said: My biggest requirement for mittens is to have the fewest number of seams on the palm.

T OR mitts are great. We copied them and hand made them in leather and even with an extra long gauntlet back in 92’. Add some fleece 5 finger liners and boom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a leather crafter in your area. Not sure what the new or’s look like but back then, they were 2 toned. The contact points were black and the back of the glove was a color. We used very thick black leather for the palm/thumb and a lighter thickness. Natural color for the “color” portion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) I've been really happy with my Level gloves -- I think the model is Super Pipe. I might have 50-80 days on them (OK, I know that's one season for some of you animals), and other than a little bit of Shoe Goo, they're going strong. I know good form / good habits is the way to go, but built in wrist protection is a nice backup until the day when I lick all my bad habits Edited May 7, 2019 by Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
