OGE Picks: Ski and Snowboard Gloves
Skiing and snowboarding gloves from Black Diamond, Burton, Hestra, Marmot and The North Face.
Black Diamond Patrol Glove - The Black Diamond Patrol gloves were built to stand up to long days of working in the snow of the Wasatch Mountains, where BD calls home. The grippy and supple Pittards goatskin leather is sewn together with Kevlar stitching. BD insures dexterity and warmth with the combinations of low-bulk Polartec Thermal Pro insulation in the palm and PrimaLoft on the back of the hand. MSRP: $90
Marmot Ultimate Ski Glove - Naming something the “Ultimate” is a bold statement, but Marmot has certainly stepped us with gloves that may just be worthy. Marmot’s Ultimate Ski Glove is waterproof, warm, and durable. It is made from only the best materials: Pittards goatskin, Gore-Tex XCR, PrimaLoft and DriClime. The warranty is also the ultimate and lasts a lifetime. MSRP: $150
The North Face Patrol Glove - Not wanting to be outdone by Marmot, The North Face makes the Patrol Ski Gloves with the same best of breed materials and craftmanship. This glove features a Gore-Tex HP inner, a Pittards Armortan leather palm, a brushed tricot lining and Primaloft insulation. It of course comes with The North Face’s lifetime warranty. MSRP: $145
Hestra Heli Glove - The Hestra Heli glove’s army leather goatskin palm is super grippy and stays flexible in the coldest conditions. The interior lining is removable (and replaceable), so you can use the heli on cold or warm days. Hestra backs the Heli Glove with its lifetime warranty. MSRP: $100
Burton AK Tech Glove - The Burton AK Tech Gloves are just what the doctor orders for spring days and booter-building sessions. Rodeo AK leather palms give you a great grip on a shovel while the Storm-lite 3.0D softshell material wisks off moisture. MSRP: $50
