Yo LiveToSki,
Love your store!
I've been looking for the gloves for years and randomly found the supplier. I bought some in to sell to my ski rep buddies! I stamped them with my bear to add a little je ne sais quoi. We don't have much in the way of a store, just Ski Week (http://www.Ski-Week.co.uk). I agree, treating the gloves does make them warmer, we use the Granger's leather balm before sending them out and some Nikwax, it makes them darker as a few of my mates said they look like marigolds otherwise! As you can see from the picture http://live.johnmogul.com/the-glove.html
Have a great season...
Jake
PS. For anyone in London, we're having some aprés-ski at Bodo's Schloss on Tuesday 18th December from 10pm! (https://www.facebook.com/events/123558024471405/?fref=ts)

Thanks.

sequoiaboard, I've sprayed on leather waterproofing, twice. I'll put some leather balm on as well. Used them last week in the slush/ice round hereabouts, and reckon with use they will become the more supple. Just to mention that I think the use of a silk liner greatly improves them.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Considering the difference in price + how broke I am at the moment, I also went for a pair of Venitex.
I do not have the NikWax glove proof, but will apply some boot leather waterproofing. Probably it is the same thing.

| livetoski, love the branding idea - should be simple enough to offer a (limited) choice, shouldn't it? I'll go for a few pairs with 'LOVE/HATE' on the knuckles and 'POWDER/SLUSH' on the respective wrists. |
I reckon some on here might need "Left" and "Right".............

livetoski, Tim....my new Kinco ones are well worn in now, cutting logs with them 2 weekends ago, only thing that didn't give me cold hands, performed great at -5c, unlike me who was falling over on the ice getting bruised ribs with a felling axe in hand!! Highly recommended

Hi peeps,
Just looking at getting some Kinco 901 gloves. I had a trawl around and noticed most people used snoseal on them to get the waterproof. It seems they now come with some sort of nikwax on them from the factory now.
Was wondering if anyone has the newer ones and if the waterproofing stands up to normal conditions. Or should I just go belt and braces and apply a genrous coating of beeswax on them now anyway?

You know it makes sense.

sequoiaboard, many thanks
braddersads, Welcome to Snowheads
The Kinco 901 comes pre treated with Nikwax glove Proof, they stand up to quite a bit of use before you need to re apply a coating of whatever you wish. Snoseal is a pretty much American stuff I have not seen it over here, if proved wrong on this let me know and I will try and get some.
