dshack Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 1) Opinions on the bomber board bag? How tough is the nylon (compared to, say, Burton or Dakine)? 2) Are there any cheap (sub-$50), durable gloves out there? 3) What sort of stomp pads do y'all use? Stoked about the rain here in oregon; I keep checking the Mt. Hood Meadows webcam to watch the progress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow|3oarder Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 its worth the $$ bc its a lot tougher than standard bags. you may need the one for 2 skis if you have a really long board. a google search for sportube (or a bomber search) will yeild plenty of info. i dont use any stomp pads. i destroy all the gloves i buy quickly....i have yet to find a good pair.

Pat Donnelly Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 1) Bomber Bag - I use mine to and from the slopes and it has held up well. For air travel I use a Sportube (double ski size). 2) Durable gloves - http://www.thundercloudmarketing.com/Page17.htm 3) Clear Cut stompad (thin) http://www.testpilotgear.com/webcat2004.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Donnelly Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 http://www.sportube.com/pages/skis_two_pair.html The model I have is the two ski which will adjust to 207cm and my 184 Coiler fits just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshack Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Anyone used these gloves? http://www.thundercloudmarketing.com/Page17.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeluxflow Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 that good leather works out better than nylon. its more durable and doesnt wear through as quick, especially if you have to carry your board alot, saves from cutting through like rubber palms do.

dshack Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I'm not reading that there's any leather in those gloves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Dammm i see the sport tube only holds boards up to 183........my 184 coiler will have to find a new home !!!!!!! The SportTube 2 easily fits my Coiler 188. I hever did check to see if my Tnker is too wide for it... I can do that if it would help. I'm big fan of the DaKine Spike Stomps (on those decks that need one... and anything I intend to ride in powder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeluxflow Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 but just in general, anyhow that might just be me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 I am partial to Diamond plate clear stomp pads to and from the resort I use a Sock for gloves...well I'm a Mitten kinda guy but those have lasted me 5 years in a couple of countries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 I don't use any stomp pad. I have one on my board, but don't use it. I have step ins, so any time I'm not clicked in I am either kicking or practicing (showing off) my skills riding on one foot (ie, almost flat ground and my back foot not even close to my board, kinda like an airplane on one foot...)

Pat Donnelly Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Snowraider gloves - I have two pair, one has never been used. I prefer the longer gauntlet. In the cold, the fingers of the gloves have a tendancy to stick together. This can be eliminated by running a bead of shoe goo, silicone or hot glue between the joints and allowing whatever to cure (while separated) before wearing. The gloves are lighter weight and you may want to wear a liner with them if it is less than 20* F. To increase the life of most any glove or mit, you can apply a thin coat or two of shoe goo. I have found it best to apply before when the gloves are new, before the wear begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshack Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 But in terms of abrasion and water resistance, they're pretty good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Better than most other gloves for off the shelf wear-a-bility. IMO, the vulnerable area is the stiching. Check out shoe goo. Kind of like silcone caulk on steroids (harder, but still pliable). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tufty Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I prefer mitts to gloves, and can vouch for the shoe goo appraoch. Haven't had stomps on my boards for a couple of years since the last one fell off, but I bought one the other day. Dakine spike stomp. Dunno if it will be any good.
