looking for a pipe glove that keeps your hands dry, yet nice and cool for hot spring park days. Looking at dakin viper, grenade team cc935, and a few other low priced gloves. Seems to me like the grenade gloves would just get wet, and the dakine gloves would be too warm and make ur hands sweaty and hot?? how are the dakine viper gloves for pipe/spring skiing hot dry day gloves?

the vipers will get pretty wet too... however, they stay dry/are much warmer than the grenades.

Yeah, i have the vipers. they are nice when its hot, but they are in no way watter proof. Also the bronco GT's are even nicer then the vipers, check them out.

Burton makes some decent pipe gloves that I picked up for super cheap and used hard all year.

Any pipe glove will get wet if you're using it for spring skiing. I have an old pair of Grenades that I love.

my friend has vipers and they suck, they have no liner. Its just like wet suit material. and for 70$ they aren't worth it.

i have the vipers and they do get wet easily and then cause there wet they get cold but i just had like this wool or flece liner that i put in them and then it still got wet but it was still warm so i guess you could do that but any pipe glove gets wet pretty easily

i bought them for summer skiing. they get pretty wet, but not as bad as my old granade holy schifts. and actually last winter i used them the whole season too. i just put a crappy fleece glove liner i found in a pair of old drops i had. then they actually worked pretty good. deffinetly pretty warm for how thin they were.

ya sorry, so long story short. they are good gloves that can even be used on regular cold days, IF u put in a fleece liner.
