Good skiing/Snowboarding gloves?

i need to buy gloves/mittens that are the warmest option. Does anyone have suggestions?

Buy the best gloves you can afford and look for Goretex and high wrist gauntlets to keep snow out – brands to look for: The North Face, Spyder, Burton, Marmot, Black Diamond

what are the warmest and driest pipe gloves?

i am looking for a new pair of snowboard gloves and was wondering what are the warmest and driest pipe gloves.

I’ve had Burton pipe gloves and Spyder pipe gloves. I like the Spyder gloves more than the Burtons. My Spyders are two years old, still warm and stay fairly dry. I spent about $50 for them but can’t tell you if the have a model name other than pipe glove.

When I go snowboarding for the first time, should I wear one of those skating wrist guards under my gloves?

The ones with a bit of a plastic guard on the wrist?

I think it’s a good idea. I know a guy who broke one of his wrists each of the first two times he tried snowboarding. People tend to catch themselves with their hands which is why a broken wrist is probably the most common injury in snowboarding. I’d probably still wear them if they weren’t a little annoying having to carry with you and if I hadn’t already lost two pairs. Anyways, wear them until you’ve gotten the hang of it.

Brands – DaKine, North Face, Burton, etc. Look for gloves that are GoreTex and you will have dry hands. Also look for a very high gauntlet that you can pull up over your jacket to keep the snow out of the cuff.

Good Luck

Something more on these gloves please!

You’ll definitely want to find a pair of gloves that are very waterproof, cause wet hands suck big time, personally I like wearing mitt’s with glove liner’s for their warmth and ease of getting on and taking off. Try to go for something with gore-tex or similar material. I have Grenade P.S.M mitts and they have been perfect, they also come with liners. Burton gore-tex, Grenade, or Celtek gloves should make anyone happy, just find the right fit and something that flexes really good when you try it on, cause once it gets colder out, some gloves will stiffen up and be very hard to move in.

My ski gloves are never keeping my hands warm. What should I do?

I am looking for a good pair of snowboarding gloves to buy and I am tired of having gloves that don’t keep my hands warm. Which brands would probably be could to buy?

Goretex mittens. Gortex for waterproofness, mittens are the warmest because your fingers are all together instead of separate.
