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.

    Dude, gloves don’t really matter THAT much

    the expensive ones will be more flexible but for sooo much more it doesn’t matter.

    after riding 4 seasons with these gloves. i will never recommend any other. my hands NEVER get wet, and they are so tight on you, you have so much motion. easy to take on and off, and the warmest of them all. highest water proof rate possible.

    may i also recommend a airblaster ninja suit. best first layer to wear ever. if you have the money that is.

    heh gloves don’t matter that much? sorry but that’s dead wrong, it’s pretty easy to tear gloves when you’re riding so quality of material is quite important. Also you’ll want to make sure you have a rather high waterproof rating, 10k is usually the recommended number to not go below, and from the looks of it the dakine vectra look to be better material and goretex.

    Yeaaaa sorry to say but everyone here is right. It’s def important to have warm hands lol, because having cold hands sucksssss! I usually buy gloves with some grip, a strong material and inner linings. Thats all i really look for when i need to find another pair of gloves. I’ve got so many, i’ve dropped them in the parking lot, lost them in my house somewhere, let people borrow them, left them at the shop, left them in the lodge, all kinds of shit. Most of the time i’m buying gloves it’s because i need a pair because i lost the pair i forgot mine. I have my favorites i like to wear, then a mass pile in my closet and in the back of my car. haha.
