 Poster: A snowHead
|
Anyone experienced 'pipe gloves' ?
How waterproof are they (eg Grenade gloves), how warm, any general opinions?

Richie_S, I used to ski in 'pipe gloves' in the spring, my experience - fine for waterproof, but no surprise occasionally cold. I now ski in Dakine Cobra GTs, which are still small, low volume and I wear them all year apart from the very coldest bits in January.
I quite like them, they always look nice so it depends on whether you get cold hands or not...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Richie_S, I have Level gloves which are thin. Mine do tend to get wet but my hands never get cold.

Richie_S, My bro had some Grenade ones, his hands were forever cold as they seemed to have loads of little vent holes in them (the gloves not his hands)...and he tends to get a lot of snow around the wrist which isn't well protected. He ended up getting some liners which improved them a little bit. He's now to stubborn to get new ones after we mocked him for getting such tiny gloves just because they match his salopettes. 
....but... my bro is a wuss and he's always moaning about being cold anyway.

I don't know what they would be like for people who tend to get cold hands (as I don't) - but I love my Leather Dakine Broncos.
I nearly bought another pair as a back up, but I bought some RAB Baltoro Softshells which are lovely (and cheap).
