i loved my marker spring gloves. i wore the same pair for about 4 years and they finally fell apart so i had to upgrade to the spyder workhorse. the markers arent nearly as warm but way cheaper. the spyders are a few years old so you prbly cant find them but i would get some marker spring gloves then on the cold days throw a real skinny glove under them for a little more warmth. that was my stradegy for 4 yrs and i worked great

the white and black is pretty snazzy IMO. i know they arent rasta or super trendy but i think they look pretty good. good value also.whatever your choice is go leather

Haven't used this model but always hear awesome things about them.

Me personally, I'm partial to the Hestra Heli glove. In two years of usage, I've yet to experience any signs of damage and they've kept my fingers warm in some nasty cold conditions. Either way, you can't go wrong with Hestra.

you can spend 120 on hestras and have them for 5-10 years unharmed or spend 50+ on gloves every year

i'm also a fan of 8 dollar kinco insulated gloves, not the warmest and most waterproof but they do a damn good job, cost nothing, and look badass

Vert cut freerides are the best glove in the world, or the Seth Pro's which are pretty much the same glove.

i have the Dakine Trigger glove and  it is very warm. the ventilation is 7.25/10 and warmth is 9/10. that is for most days including spring, but not on realy really cold days. than i go to my spyder mits, which i dont know the model but they were like 110 bucks and WORTH it. almost too warm on reallty cold days. hope this helps bud.
