Im looking to buy a pair of park gloves that have dexterity and are still fairly warm. Price range is  60 or less, I know dakine claims to have some good ones but I'm looking for first hand testaments as to who has the best park glove. K+ for good answers

dakine crossfires lost most of the grip materal on the first day.  Otherwise they are just right.

Hestra, Dakine, and Level all make great gloves. Been rocking my Level's for three years now and they're as warm as ever and haven't ripped at all yet.

POW High Five $40
POW Hiro-Shaka $45

Armada Double Glove $70
Armada Eight Mitt $80

Dakine Team Fillmore (THall) $60
Dakine Team Sabre (Pollard) $75
Dakine Team Cobra (Petit) $80

Empire Pipe $50
Empire Winter $80
Empire Jossi $70

These are $40? Never realized how much they were, got mine for free at Woodward at Copper. SUPER NICE but they gave them to me in a medium which was too small:(

Personal prefrence entirely. I hate thick gloves, so I ski in First Drop park gloves all year long - even during trenching storms.

I got a pair of burton mitts last year but I lost the liner and I have days this year up to -15 where my hands were still warm. They were also like 30 plus taxes. Dakine and armada also make some good/warm park mitts

got some sweet dakine Eric Pollard Sig gloves (cobras?) and they have lasted all season in -10 (still got pretty cold though) to 75+ spring conditions and I have yet to get wet in them. picked them up for 30 new so I definitely got a great deal. check em out

I have burton "pipe" gloves and they work great.

inb4 "OMG BUT BURTON ISNT FOR SKIERS!" Whatever, it doesn't matter.

They are decently cheap because the ones i have use kinda like wetsuit material, so it stays pretty dry, but even if it gets wet, it doesn't get cold, rather than gore tex or something that always kinda means that it will be expensive.

But hey: Armada, Burton, Oakley, yayuh. Real leather is gonna be flexible and warm, plus the most durable-- get something that won't wear on rope tows and stuff ya know? Oh and the glove company that Simon Dumont started!!!! (Forgot the name)-- they seem absolutely top-of-the-line.
