I've got a pair of 'Dakine Men's Scout Glove Black Stripes'. Paid £49 back in January, now on sale for £26.99...

I've only got a pair of Alpine gloves (I think) to compare these to but I really do like them. They come with inner everyday gloves which are useful for apres ski or a very cold mountain! The inner gloves have a sticky grip on them too which can be useful.

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

davidmt83, they look really smart, and pretty cheap. I like the idea of inner gloves as well. I think i may go for these and get a new pair of ski pants with the remainder of the money.

Ricklovesthepowder,
I notice on the S&R website they are in size small only. Really nice gloves but I have found Dakine gloves to be small fitting. Dakine small is pretty skimpy.

Be a little bit careful with the Da Kine gloves as some of them are not waterproof, it's the liner that's the membrane and therefore if you wear them without the liner they will leave you with wet hands!

I would definitely recommend trying them on in a shop. For me the small was perfect but that was without the inner glove (which personally I think detracts from the nibbleness of the poles and it's sufficiently warm without them)

Submerge them in water or if you're unfortunate enough to be skiing in rain (does this happen!?) then maybe - I dunno. Skiied a week in them and couldn't be happier - Tignes Mar 2011.

I normally do not highlight how words are spelt (sic), but what does "nibbleness of the poles" mean?

Agreed. Didn't think it was a real word too... I meant the ability to control and plant the poles.
