I wouldn't buy Empire simply because of the blatant marketing Dumont and crew shove down are throats every time they are interviewed or filmed...

I have empire gloves and they are awesome. comfy, amazing value, do the job and good quality. Dumont aside, they look pretty cool. Anyway, Dumont skis well.

i enjoy making fun of dumont just as much as the next guy, but i wouldn't go as far as to say i won't buy from a company a fellow skier has started, especially a skier as good as dumont.

but yeah i do think they're kinda ugly

thank you, and when did if become soooo cool to hate on empire, I am so behind in the times.  I havent even got to hatin on t hall yet.  Boy do I have some hatin to catch up on. 


I think ec and empire are sick and you should decide which ones you like better yourself. Unless you just want some quality or durability info in which I have none.  Good luck

Fresh: SUPER light spring glove
Fresher: Not quite as light as The Fresh
Freshest: Presumably heaver than previous 2

And i own some of the Fresher, and i've skied mine in about 10-15 degree ICE Coast weather and was fine.

its not even that dumont is extremely cocky and the biggest tool in the sport, but empire has no creativity at all, the name is copied, the logo, the shirts, bandannas, gloves, everything is just so boring and uncreative. even though i hate dumont, id probably buy empire stuff if it was actually good, but its not.

ec is awesome though go with those, or airblaster gloves, those are sick too.

"don't let 'em in the crib unless they bonin'."
i would never buy from a company that puts that on a tee shirt, not for a joke, dumont is a jock and i don't want to give money to one of those either. two posible reasons why not to even consider empire stuff.
