i am debating between the dakine cobra and the pow stealth. they both are 70 bucks so im not sure... i live in British Columbia so its a little on the colder side. and i ski park most of the time.(dont know if that makes any difference.)

i had a pair of dakines and i found them really really cold. i dont have the greatest circulation so that probly contributes. i just got a pair of pow re-stealths and have worn em a couple times with no probnlems but have yet to really test them.

I have used both dakine gloves and pow gloves and I think that pow gloves are better. Overall they are warmer and thiner.

i have never used POW gloves, but i do have dakine cobras. they are sick gloves, and by far the best ive ever had, definitely worth the 70 bucks which is a good thing considering they are the only thing i willingly spent retail on this year. very comfortable, pretty thin/easy mobility. the goretex is awesome, and keeps my hands very warm and dry even when the leather gets wet. and the leather? oh so soft, especially after a couple uses it gets super soft, i love it. and they dry out  quickly and will be perfect the next morning for those consecutive days of slayage.

all in all probably the best 70 bucks ive spent in the last 4 months.

I have used the POW stealth glove and they suck ass.... look at the reviews, I posted one for them. The leather is shit. Don't get them. I also have the Dakine Cobra glove and that was leaps and bounds above what the Stealth glove offered, and the leather doesn't rip; super durable.
