johnstewart Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I like the gloves I'm using, but no pair I've never had has survuved much more than a season of boarding. I always seem to rip the tips of the fingers out, which never seem to be well-reinforced. I usually end up having them patched by the shoe-repair place, who put in leather tips in the spots where they tear out. I see Reliable Racing is having a sale: http://www.reliableracing.com/wintersportscatalog/012105.cfm?cat=glovesandmitts&sh=Gloves%20and%20Mitts Can anyone recommend any gloves here which are TOUGH, especially in the fingertips? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tigger Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 my level halfpipes are pretty old, and still in good shape because the fingertips are covered with massive rubber. they dont stink and are waterresistend due to goretex. i d buy them again.

kamran Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I bought my Reusch from Dave (hardbooter.com) for a very reasonable price. visit his site and convince yourself. I am very happy with Reusch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I haven't used this glove yet because my other Kevlar glove is in good condition, this glove was tested by some of the people from Bomber and they were recommending to people. I'm going to order a couple for my self just as backup. give it a try..... http://www.thundercloudmarketing.com/Page1.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_watkins Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 http://www.sierratradingpost.com/search/vendor_results.asp?gender=1%2C9&gender=2%2C9&gender=3%2C4&gender=0&ShowImages=yes&brand=15265&submit5=Search+Brand+Names%21 OR's gear is super durible. My gf recently bought me the goretex modular mitt shells off that site, aparently for about $30. At that price they're an absoulte steal. Overall impression is that they'd probibly stop a bullet. If you're more of a glove person the dry ice glove for $55 there seems a pretty great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 anything made with this stuff. http://www.schoeller-textiles.com/pdf/protection_keprotec_e.pdf I've had my last pair of hotfingers with this stuff for 6 years and the only hole is where I dropped it in a campfire. My hunting gloves don't hold up because of the soft cloth, but they are definitely warmer :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Biff Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I second the OR recommendation. I don't wear gloves, I wear mitts, but I love these things. Very well made and warm. My wife also has a pair, her hands are never cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 My overpriced Marmots are being sent back after one year. I agree with Kent...price certainly does not necessarily dictate quality. I'd get a pair of leather mittens but I find it difficult to grasp the handle on the intec stepins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarvCanada Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I just got a pair of NorthFace gloves this season, they're really stiff, so you sometimes have to take off the outer glove and leave on the liner to get your bindings on, but so far they've held up decently. I used to destroy 3 or 4 pairs of gloves a season, and end up riding with fingers my palm exposed! These new ones have a layer of protective material in all the right spots, and it looks like I won't have to perform much surgery on them as the season goes on.

I think there's a company called "Atmosphere" that markets this stuff. -c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gawdzira Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 I thought I saw a link for this stuff on that site that was selling dehydrated water? I ordered the sample pack but it must have leaked out of the envelope. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r_starr Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 This is my 4th season of carving with these Burton gloves. I used to have to touch-up them up every few days with Shoe Goo. This year I glued on p-tex and now I only have to touch up the area not covered by the p-tex every few weeks. I got the p-tex idea from the Swiss EC Boyz, and the p-tex material from www.snowboardmaterials.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nils Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 We've found and experiment since last season a rubber like thing called aquaglutene, or polyglut. Its way more flexy than shoogoo, and it resists abrasion way better than the glove. We apply it on the parts that need cover/protection with fine layers ( each dry within few mins ) and touch ups are easy done. Something good it the product is black. It is used usually by diver shops to repair neoprene suits, especially those used by kayakists and hydrospeed people. It is for sale there usually, but also some fly fishing people use the stuff for their waders to repair holes. I have no clue what the english name of the product can be !!
