Overall Overall, I love the Mule. It gets the job done. Performance Because it's an all-leather glove I was able to keep it totally waterproof with mink oil (there is lots of products you can use but I like this best). I ski in the east, and it gets pretty cold, and I don't really like to go in during the day. My hands could have been warmer, but they were pretty good for the most part. Design The glove fit me great, and I loved the large velcro tab at the cuff, it worked great. sometimes you get a glove that is too long or short on your wrist, the Mule was perfect for me. Value I think I spent around $40 on the gloves, and they were worth every bit. Fit Normally I wear an XL with gloves. The shop was out of that size, so I ended up with a L. It's an all-leather glove, so it stretched out a little and the fit was fine after a couple of days. Durability Once again, becasue the Mule is 100% leather, it was really durable. I ski a lot of tight eastern woods, and clip a couple of trees now and then. The gloves have a few scratches on them, but considering what I put them through, the look good.
Overall If you like to rip, if you like to jump, if you like to play around, or if you just like to ski hard, you'll love the 100's cuz they can do it all. Performance Illin. They are so fun and playful even though they are long. I mounted them true-center and I will ski anything with them. If you try, they'll even slarve a little bit. Design Gorgeus and innovative. I have complete faith in the fatty base and edge, plus they look pretty good, and they're light. Value Not a total steal, but definately worth every penny of the $600. Characteristics Sweeeet. They have this nice medium flex that, even with their length (186), stills allows you to make tight turns or butter. On top of it, the titanium "Bear Claw" on the top of the ski makes them rock-solid on edge, but doesn't make them stiff. Durability I haven't put them through a ton yet, but I will. I have beaten and abused a couple of pairs of Lines, and they always hold up well.
