You'll sweat in these gloves and they'll be super uncomfortable.
Get real MTB products, not this kind of thing that fools newbs.
HandUp gloves, Fox gloves, Tasco gloves, TroyLee gloves...All cheaper by far and actually made for MTB.
LimeGreenYetihey man i ride in north vancouver on the regular and these are COMPLETELY waterproof and breathable. fox gloves fall apart after 3 months of use, same with dakine. troy lee are good, never tried tasco or hand up. i use the sealskins for rainy, cold days up the mountain and theyre amazing. if you do this you will have nothing to complain about. do you seriously only wear 1 pair of gloves through out the year? for summer i have some really thin xc gloves. these are amazing winer, spring, fall gloves. i dont know where you ride but id say north vancouver and whistler is as good as a testing ground as you can get, and im a 100+ day a year rider in the park and these hold up.
I used the sizing guide and ordered large based on the measurements. They were very difficult to squeeze into. Guess what? No returns possible. Two lessons here. The first is, if you order clothing items that don't fit properly just lie and say it's defective and ask for a refund. Second, never order clothing from a no-return outfit.
actually look at what you are buying here, these are obviously not insulated winter/ski gloves, yes they will likely keep your hands much warmer than not using anything or say a pair of standard mechinix gloves but they simply aren't ski/snowboarding gloves, those tend to be insulated with permaloft or some other type of actual insulation instead of just being made of a thicker material.
that said, since they windproof they should do a pretty good job of keeping your hands warm in most conditions as heat is lost through convection it can be REALLY surprising how much warmth can be added by a thin layer of windproof material.
beyond that "warmth" is also a pretty subjective term, women tend to run cooler than men in general just as an example, so it really depends on you as to how warm these are going to be....personally for all but the coldest snowiest days I'm usually pretty good with just a pair of leather work gloves i got from the hardware store and covered in snowseal.
really, these are not ski gloves, they are late fall/spring mountain biking gloves for bombing down wet and muddy trails during the shoulder seasons, do not expect them to be as warm as a traditional ski glove...doing so would be a bit silly...again though they (the mountain glove) will add quite a bit of warmth due to the windproof materials being used so should be a good deal warmer than other gloves of similar design...and should be suitable for shoulder season ski runs as well...depending on you as an individual.
[moderated]. thats all the people that ride in vancouver, bellingham, all of UK. in vancouver we have a trail association with monthly meet ups and building days to maintain trails. i guess in the desert you would complain about kicking up dirt but here where people actually ride hard we realize we need to put the extra effort in to maintenance. also we have 44+inches of rainfall a year so its hard to find a days in the year that isnt raining. there are markets that ride in the rain and there are trail builders who do not have a stick up their ass about people riding their trails in the rain. in fact here we push people to ride in the wet because it makes you a better rider. practicing DH in the wet is the best thing you can do to prep for race season. no matter where you go, you're comfortable in the wet
I want to know about WARM too.
I don’t know how many pairs of winter “mountain” gloves I own that have turned out to be absolute DRECK when it comes to warmth.
Which is key, if you ask me.
