 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All, I am in the market for some long gauntlet style gloves. I would love a pair of Hestra Helis but not sure I want to pay the asking price for them. I have seen a pair of Dakine Titan which look pretty good, gore tex etc. What I am not clear on is how long the cuff is compared to the Helis for example. Does anyone have any knowledge of these?
Cheers

I've got Dakine titans - not familiar with Hestra gloves, but I've not had many problems with the cuff length. I've occasionally had to loosen the cuff and refit it over my jacket, usually when I've put them on in a hurry, but other than that happening maybe half a dozen times, they've been great. Quite warm too, I often ski without the inners. The only slight issue I have is that the inners don't bind to the main gloves, there's no velcro or anything to hold them in place

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

my favorite long style gauntlet gloves are the Black Diamond Guide, there was a pair for a bargain price of £50 in the buy and sell sections last week I believe....

I'll check the size this evening and get some pics of the gloves themselves.
They're about £100+ online, so say about £40?

Mosha, am I correct in thinking these are the ones where the liners don't come out? If so thanks for the offer but they are not for me

kb36, that's correct.
Markymark29, they're yours if you want them.

You know it makes sense.

Mosha Marc, OK, £30 bank transfer and posted, or want me to call over next weekend with some beer vouchers? No rips/ tears on palms are there? How old are they? look in decent nick.

They don't have any rips or tears anywhere and are in good nick. If I had to guess I'd say they were about six years old, but I haven't worn them in ages.
As I mentioned above, the white leather has yellowed a bit; but that's no bad thing as brand new they are very white.
