When Did Grenade Gloves Start?

I’m trying to find out when the company was started and any other history about the company. TY!

Started in 97 in Mammoth by the Kass brothers. First two years in production was only stickers and tee’s. First gloves rolled in around the fall of 99 in very small amounts. They are now the number three glove co in the world of snowboarding behind Burton and DaKine. The company grew 85% over the last three years. Matt Kass in the majority oner with danny a owner\rider. Matt is curently sueing danny for full owners rights. So much for brotherly love. Good luck.

wrist guard mittens/gloves that will fit under jacket?

Where can I find mittens or gloves with built-in wrist guards that will fit under my jacket sleeve. I have a pair of hand me downs but they don’t fit under my jacket and when I put them over, my jacket sleeve rides up to my elbow. I need to wear them snowboarding since I broke my wrist when I first started.

I know that Dakine carries gloves that includes wrist guards. You can probably goggle it and find a pair. They carry gloves that have wrist guards or you can purchase a pair of wrist guards separately. Either way Dakine carries them and I would check out various snowboard shops.

Hope this helps!
