Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Glove question - sleeves inside or outside?

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
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 rolling eyes

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 Wink).

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
