im looking to buy a new pair of gloves, most likely park/pipe gloves.
id like to spend no more than $40 on the gloves and a decent liner that i can put in on colder days.
id like your input on which to buy from experience etc.
thanks!

i think that will be my last resort if i cant find anything that i like. sounds like it would work, but im not too sure about the warmth without a liner or something.

park gloves+colder days=bad idea


just watch tramdock/brociety, or look on backcountry outlet. get yourself a pair of park gloves and a pair of mittens, your hands will be happier.

i have a decent pair of burton gloves right now that i will probably get liners for but they have been holding up nicely, just not as wind resistant as i would like.
im just looking for people's experience with different park gloves so i can decide on which one to get.

another random question: has anyone ever worn park gloves under something else on bitter cold days?

i have the dakine scout glove, awesome.

keeps you dry, warm and blocks wind. easy to get on and off too. great glove, well worth it.

a few of my friends have park gloves and really hate them on a day thats colder than 25. the scouts are really slim though and good for park. i don't think its worth it to freeze your fingers off, so the scouts are perfect for me

i have a pair of joystick gloves, they are decently warm, look awesome, quality is great and i got a great deal on them. i would check out joystick gloves if you can find some on sale for cheap somewhere

alright, thanks for the input!
im looking for gloves for the 20-25+ degree days since my burton gloves pretty much cover everything colder (with a liner and the occasional hand warmer)
still, ill definitely look into the scouts as a possibility

yeah i found these on porters tahoe:

they are the gloves that i have and i absolutley love them! and plus they are kind of around your price range. i use these gloves up to about 20-25 at the coldest with a liner so if your looking for a glove for that temperature range they will be good for you

nice! thanks
those are just outside of my price range but they could definitely work. ive looked at at just a couple of other joystick gloves but those seem the most legit.  ill def look further into those

I've been using a Dakine scout glove for 2 seasons, NEVER had a problem with them, in any sort of condition. I actually have a new pair I can sell you if you would like.

Heres a link to them:

(Again, I have gloves, not mittens)

They're XL, and a buddy of mine just blew out his finger on his glove, I'm going to check with him to see if he wants them first
