Carp Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Anyone have or tried the Manzella "Beast"? I just ordered a pair for a pretty decent price from another vendor. They look pretty beefy and warm. Here's hoping. If anyone has any reviews I'd appreciate your thoughts. Here's a site that still has 'em. http://www.nextag.com/561430097p/zz2zB4z23/prices-html?nxtg=6d8d0a240512-1B67F5275698382F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the market for some gloves or mittens. Thanks, Quentin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveBomber Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 that seems pretty expensive especially since they have no wrist gaurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carvedog Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Check out the Tom & Joel featured herehttp://www.thundercloudmarketing.com/Page17.htm These gloves are the bomb. I have burned through gloves in a single day before. I have about 30 days in these without any noticeable wear of any kind. Pretty phenomenal as I really like to grind the snow sometimes. The fingers kind of stick together, a little less now. they are also a bit thin which suits me fine as I run hot and always take my gloves off on the chair, even when below zero. they recommend glove liners on the website and if you are cold blooded/handed a good idea. Thanks to Kenny ( k_t ) for turning me on to these great gloves. Now I don't have to go through a couple tubes of shoe goo every winter.

JoelP Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I've been using mine for 5 seasons and I average about 40 to 50 days a year. They have yet to wear thru anyplace although it's time for a new pair just for comfort. I've packed them down to paper thin on the insulation. The fingers stick together the more colder it gets, kinda weird but it doesn't bother me. I highly suggest them. JoelP disclaimer: I had no idea I was being used for their advertising until today when Pat's email'd me. I do not get anything free from them.

Brian Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I picked up a pair last season, looking forward to using them this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf Quebec Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Used to buy expensive glove before, now i buy cheap ones (as long as they are warm) The expensive ones doesn't last a lot longuer than the cheap one want riding on a lot of artificial snow. Last year in february, I bought 3 pairs of Head gloves for 40$ at a sale, I'm still using the first pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carp Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 that seems pretty expensive especially since they have no wrist gaurd. I'm getting these for $80. Am stoked because they have everything I want in a glove (warmth yet to be determined) with the exception of a soft nose wipe. I was going to wrap the thumb in a gauze pad. . removable wrist gard removable leash cinch strap waterproof/breathable Almost fully wrapped kevlar in the palm and fingers with the exception of the top which is plastic (?) long gators I too go through gloves/mitts pretty quickly. I'm hoping these hold up. I'll give my review on them early next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshack Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Reusch all-leather gloves on Sierra trading post for $30-$50...look around the internetz and you can usually find 20% off $75 coupons with free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Those Snowraider gloves look like the ticket. Durable & cheap. I wondered if it was better to get expensive (good?) gloves so they would last or get cheap gloves & replace them often. Looks like these solve both problems.

Enzo Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 anyone try these gloves from Cabelas? http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?type=product&cmCat=Related_IPL_921828&id=0047653921909a They're on sale right now for $39.95 and are full gore-tex w/thinsulate. By the looks, they appear to be very similar to the Mountain Hardwear & Marmot gloves priced from $100-$150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers were stuck together (from manufacturing) they seperated pretty easily. Can't wait to put them to the test. So far I would say they are a bargain. Shipped priority mail too!

Gecko Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I have a set that my dad didn't like, I acquired them just because he didn't want them and they have turned out to be fantastic for boarding....they've actually changed my mind about the whole glove/mitten thing in all but the coldest days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 anyone try these gloves from Cabelas? http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?type=product&cmCat=Related_IPL_921828&id=0047653921909aThey're on sale right now for $39.95 and are full gore-tex w/thinsulate. By the looks, they appear to be very similar to the Mountain Hardwear & Marmot gloves priced from $100-$150. Yes, in fact I was in a pair all day today. I've had them for 3 seasons now I think (alternating with a few other different pair). I really like them, and I'm glad to see that they're still available. The cuffs they fit over my sleeves (wrist guards and all) and the drawstring holds tight. I used to covet those $100+ gloves too. :) The palms are not especially tough but they're not bad either. I think what ruins my gloves in grabbing the tail of my board - I've put little cuts in the palms of most of my gloves and these were no exception. I used shoe-goo to put kevlar patches on the palms of most of my gloves, including these. I am tempted to get some of the Raider gloves mentioned earlier, but these gloves (from Cabelas) have me hooked on goretex now. For those of you with Raiders, do they stay dry?
