Hey guys, so I needta get a pair of gloves for the spring here. I've got some Hestra Sethmo's and some Black Diamond Legend gloves which are both fantastic, awesome gloves for cold weather, buuut in any weather above probably, 15-20 degrees, my hands will sweat like none other in those two pairs.

I need a good pair to use in the park(mainly limited to midwest skiing now) and I had some actual park gloves, but they're pretty much done now and I need another pair. Just gonna get some cheapo Kinco's and snow seal em, but I wanna ask which style is good to pick up for this? They have SO many different styles, leather selections, all that crap that I don't even know where to start. I will say though, that a black glove is strongly preferred in my book to the tan ones, as my gear setup is all black, however I'll get whatevers best and most cost efficient. If anyone can help me here, much appreciated, thanks!

Haha well yeah, I know they've got some at a hardware store, but like are the solid leather ones decent for skiing? Or will my hands sweat like none other? There's the spandex backed ones, and all that crap. I was thinking of getting a pair of the solid black goatskin pairs, but I have no idea how they'd work. Was wondering if anybody had experience with the different gloves and which they'd recommend. Also, since I'd be using it in the park, how's the grip on the glove for doing grabs and the like. I know many people use these and rave about em, so I'm just looking for some insight.

I use the all leather ones, and they breath fine, the spandex ones won't waterproof as well so there is that to consider, I would say a pair of all leather uninsulated ones is what you should get, you won't regret it.

Awesome, thanks for the help man! Looks like I may have to go with tan after all, I can only find a black pair that is lined. Not sure how warm the lined pair are, but I'm pretty sure I don't have any local retailers that sell Kinco, so may have to order some.

Yeah, you could look into dying them but there is a chance it could transfer to your hands

Hell, I'll probably just buy the black lined pair, and if it's too warm use them as a spare cold weather glove and then get a white unlined pair hahaha. Seeing as they're only 12 bucks, it's a very viable option.

these. http://www.kinco.com/product/1927kw/

are you riding on rope tows? Snow seal may suck for a little bit if your ski area has rope tows.

I'd get flylow instead, things are already on sale this time of the year maybe you will find one at a discount!

they are pretty much a nicer kinco glove and even though they cost more they are not expensive at all
