Just wondering what you folk do.
My Dakine gloves have got nice long storm cuffs. If I tuck my sleeves inside them, and it pees down with rain, then won't they fill with water if my arms are downwards? But if I put my sleeves over them, and stick my arms up in the air, then won't the water go up inside my jacket?
Oh what to do

petemillis, don't the cuffs have a drawstring to tighten them around your forearms? I prefer short cuff which go inside my sleeves (and I try not to ski with my hands pointing to the sky ).

I tuck them under my sleeves. I think 90% of the time gloves over the sleeves looks a bit rare

just can't be bothered to keep tucking them in anymore but it does look better/keeps you warmer/dryer probably.

It depends on the type of glove!
Gauntlet ones go over the jacket, others go under it.

comprex, couldn't remember the name, that'll teach me to be friendly with the restaurant staff and get a bottle of wine when I order a glass...

Compromise. Wear one glove tucked in and the other one outside the sleeve.

I wear the glove cuff outsite the jacket. Whether this is correct or not if a different matter...

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

Depends on the day...if you are in and out the pack, then gauntlets might be a hassle, but they are best on bad weather days, IMV.
That will be a consideration when I decide which gloves to wear.

I like the look of these, how I'll actually obtain a pair though I don't know.

You know it makes sense.

Over the inner lining of the coat. Under the outer shell. Problem solved.

Where do you ski in the rain? Go to a higher resort!

Why would you stick your arms up in the air????

Snowy, during an armed robbery? Imagine how much worse an already traumatic experience would be if you got cold and wet at the same time.

Outside, I couldn't get the sleeves over the top of the gauntlet bit if I tried.

If you are sking in powder and will be taking a few falls then you don't want the sleeves to to act as snow trawl nets. But I have my cuffs done tight just behind my gloves - hey... compromise.

petemillis, you will not get water inside your jacket either way because if it pees with rain you will be sitting inside a restaurant pigging steak and chips and drinking vin chaud.
