I found junior a lovely pair of Reusch gloves in TK Maxx for this season. The mushette got some expensive penguin mittens from Snowtrax, probably not as good but they do look cute.

Anyone else had problems with them? I really like their surf gear and was quite surprised by the gloves. |
Hi the pair of dakine goretex gloves I have the stitching was fine during the two weeks I used them last season. I've had a couple of pairs of North Face Gloves by now by contrast which were hopelss. To be fair I took one pair back and got a refund, but wouldnt buy them again due to my perception of their quality.

Not sure how much of a sale it is, I bought them for the same price about a month back but yes still very much a bargain. Got a really nice O'Neill jacket from there too

Mike-H,
Try googling "Chamonix bin men's gloves" or just Venitex leather gloves. £15 a pair plus a couple of pounds for nikwax proofer and you are away. I bought 2 pairs for me and number 1 son at Christmas but have not worn them in anger yet. At that price it is worth the experiment, & from the wrists downwards anyone can be mistaken for a guide.
Marmot Basic Work Glove at a mere £30 are a more upmarket version.

The gloves I've worn for the last few years were 8 euros from Castorama, warm, breathable, durable, also good for gardening.

So they'll be those yellow gloves I always see people wearing then.

Montane Extreme gloves and mitts. Cheap, tough, warm, very breathable and quick drying.

I've just used the venitex leathers for a week and they stayed surprisingly dry inside even on a rainy day when the outside was soaking. Not the prettiest things and a bit stiff after drying but better than other cheaper purpose made ski gloves.
Quite warm as well.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

enfilade,
Indeed they are. Depending on your point of view they provide a look which is either slightly down at heel (but "nails"), or like a bin man.

nevis1003, Tried the Wedze ones they had in my store. Very thin and no waterproofing.

I get mine in Costco, made in USA buckskin creamy yellow gloves, toasty lining, I thin they're about £20 for 2 pairs. I teach in the a Hemel, so comfortable and you'll never wear them out, they're like cowboy gloves.
I'd imagine you coils apply some sort of waterproofing if required, but I don't.

I bought a pair of Dakine Scout gloves this year. the stitching came off inside the right glove and one the left liner. Dakine have a lifetime warranty that covers stitching. My gloves are currently with customer service with Snow and Rock.
