So I'm in search for the perfect glove. Lookin' for something thats got some style, but still pretty warm. I rock an empyre pipe glove and it looks fresh but is very cold for days below 30 degrees which is mostly everday. I was checkin out the Armada Cramps and the Armada Riot glove. Anybody have any thoughts???


The 2 armadas didn't have much for a review. . LEt me know!!!

Threadjacking. I had the Hestra Morrsions last season, they're pretty good but can be sorta warm on the sticky deep pow days out here in OR. Suggestions for something a bit thinner?

If you send me your morrisons, I'll send you my liner style, Burton gortex gauntlet gloves size large. Liners in=warm liners out=more condusive to pnw cement days.

If you can find them, the Hestra Xtra Fit gloves, best glove for my warm hands ever. Typical leather construction with Gore Tex inserts and very minimal insulation.

I guess Hestra sells them direct, only place I have seen them in a quick search. Full MSRP though.

They got stolen along with most of my remaining ski gear this summer. I'm buying another pair, speaks to the quality, they're simply the best. They feel like they could punch through small trees and children.

I have checked out the morrisons and have also looked at the hestra freeride vertical cut or something like that. Any reviews on the vertical cuts?

trust.


With my job, gloves limit me. so i wear an extra sweater or 2 so i can wear thin liners or no gloves at all.
(but i wear construction safety gloves when im on the job and not using my hands)

my job = race crew = wiring, race timing, B-net install/takedown, gates, safety, etc etc

dakine makes some nice gloves, and some shitty gloves. get the sabre (pollard's glove) or the wrangler (full leather and wool inside)

the Baron is a good mitten too.
