Post the type of gloves you have, what you like & dislike about them. are they warm? comfortable? functional? stylish? whatever.

what would you like to see in a pair of gloves?

Feel free to post pics also.

I am doing some research so your answers are much appreciated

Had some swanny gauntlet style gloves, super warm, never cold hands up to -30 degrees. Downfall was that for me my hands sweat to much and the gloves would be wet, so they weren't so breathable. Just picked up some clan celtic gloves, had a day on them, nice and warm seem durable. good buy.

ec headwear waffle gloves.

they are old and frayed so they get wet really easy. the grip on the palms is peeling like a bitch but guess its ok cuz they look dope and have been heavily used.

I rock Seirus Xtreme All Weather Gloves. Completely waterproof and breathable, but a little cold if your sitting for a long time. They are small like a summer or pipe glove. As long as I'm moving, my hands stay warm. As far as style they are just plain black so they are alright.

Hestra Seths-Fairly waterproof and warm. Starting to fall apart, but they have a ton of days on them. I really like the cut and like the attention to detail. (Extra leather in high friction areas, pre-molded flex parts, ect.)

Dakine Stingrays-Spring-ish glove. Fits a little big actually. Like the zipper on the side and all the padding is placed almost perfectly. Leather feels a bit cheap though.

Joystick Oscar-Lightweight yet decently waterproof. The grippy part in the palms is beginning to fall off though. :-(

candy grind park glove
Click for larger image
pretty warm (good for 15+ F...for me), really waterproof, and the only sign of wear is a letter or two missing from the label on the thumb (palm side) one thing i wish they had is a velcro closure instead of the magnet snaps. the magnets come undone on most crashes and its more troublesome than helpful.

colder days i have the burton baker glove
Click for larger image
real warm, waterproof, no signs of wear and this is the second season with them. nothing i would add to them

i have some swany mittens but it hasnt been cold enough to wear them really.

I use Dakine impreza gloves almost everyday, the coldest day that they were used in was around 25 degrees with a 5 degree windchill and lightly snowing and my hands weren't warm or cold they were fine. I like these gloves the best because they fit right, are low profile and were free.

For days that it is raining or really wet snow I use an old pair of Grenade Misfitins that are completely water proof but are not breathable at all.

Whenever it is above 40 or 45 i dont use gloves because they just get in the way and make my hands sweat.

Switch gloves, they're pretty warm, but they get wet easily, and for some reason they fucking stink, still like them though, held up well for 2 seasons. Rome sds pipe gloves, not really warm, but real good grip and dexterity.

Dakine Cobra- cheap, not really that warm, falls apart, not a good glove

POW Royal- cheap if you buy off tramdock, waterproof if you apply nikwax, not warm enough for really cold out, pretty comfy and leathery

Backcountry.com brand Stoic InBounds glove

pretty much bomb proof, and super warm. Once i got them broken in the dexterity was surprising considering its an all mostly all leather glove. the only non leather is on the back of the hand and cuff.

super awesome glove

I have dakine cobras. I use them for moderately cold days. Anything below 30 F all the way to 0 F I've been comfortable.

They're a leather material so the longer you wear them the better they fit.

EC Headwear Waffles from this year:  Great and durable glove for anything above about 20-25 degrees.  Park gloves, so it gets wet if you crash a lot just like everything else in the world made of cloth.

Grenade Bob Gnarley:  Just as good as my EC gloves, held up for about 2 seasons before they fell apart.

Hestra Vertical Cut Freerides:  Best gloves I've ever owned.  I got them 5 years ago and they still look 3 days old.  My hands have never been cold in them (I live in Colorado), and they don't get wet.  They are more than worth the money, and at this rate I don't see myself having to replace them since they won't die.
