Why do all gloves suck A$$

[Cyle]

Noticed my Arctic Cat gloves, one short ride and the seam on one finger is starting to rip, 1/2" long already. WTF $70 gloves that are going after one ride. Does anyone know if they will actually warranty these? I'm frigging pissed, my Dakine gloves got wet pretty easy, but they lasted a whole season and didn't rip for half the price

True North Adventure gloves, warm, allways dry, and good price.

I'll second True North Adventure gloves! Hands are always dry, by far the best gloves I've ever bought!

Funny, I have about 8 pairs of gloves, only 2 are worth wearing. One pair is a pair of Scott gloves I got last year, hands never get cold with them on and they stay dry on the inside, but they are bulky. The other pair is a Klim pair that stays warm and dry but is ripping at the finger tips, they were new last year. Frustrating.

Warranty?

I wear the Klim Powercross glove. Light weight, thin palm and GorTex. I have a full season on 1 pair with no problems and then bought a 2nd pair last year and switched between them because I bought the first ones 1 size to big.

I was thinking about the TNA, but since in Canada they are over $100. However my hands are pretty big, and my hands are bad for getting cold. I find my hands get really sore if I use the handwarmers, so I rely totally on the gloves. If the rip gets any bigger or my hands get wet because of the hole, they are going back for a new pair though, not paying $70 to wear a pair of gloves once.

, they were new last year. Frustrating.

If they are coming apart at seam I would take them back and get some warranty.

disposable gloves

Good thread! I thought I was the only one who had the threads breaking after one day of riding. I've tried lots of brands too (cheap + $$$). I also agree that there is no ONE good glove. Some keep you warm, but are bulky. Some aren't bulky, but your fingers get cold. But it is good to see what everyone else is using and with what results.

Best solution is to buy 4-5 pair of gloves and switch them out all day, no one glove will keep you dry through a whole day or season for that matter, NO GLOVE!
(that includes KLIM)

Edit...don't get me wrong, I love my KLIM gloves that I have been using for several years now, I have had them warrantied every season for one thing or another, which for me is fine as long as I get a new pair every season. I just have not found any glove that is perfect in every aspect, so just take many good gloves with you when you ride.

I've had good luck with Scott Warriors, had them for 3 seasons. I got a set of Klim Powercross as a gift this year and really like them so far.

I don't think it's to much to ask for a pair of gloves to last a few seasons before ripping. I can fix warmth by ordering one size bigger and putting a thin pair underneath. I have good mitts for the ride out after the gloves are wet, somehow 4 years and they still look new, and they were pretty cheap. I just want gloves that will stand up, I don't care if they are bulky.

Weird, they are only the on the US site. I remember people said the Pinnacle gloves were good to? They are on sale on the Canadian site for $41.

Marmot work glove: had mine for 4 years and I use them for everything, chopping wood, loading, unloading, riding, sking, work in the cold, and have never had a problem with them and they also carry a good warranty and my hands have never been wet or freezing. It is the choice of most ski patrolers.

I agree.....I have 3 pairs....use them all on the wetter days...just the only way to do it.

It's funny that the best pair of gloves I have ever had were not even made for snowmobiling. They were a pair of cold weather water skiing gloves. All neopren with leather palm and fingers. They had an extra strap that wrapped around your wrist for extra support. Hands did get a little wet but they were warmer than my scott goves. The extra support saved the wrists too.
