Glove recommendations

My favorite glove in my set up are my NorthFace Montana Mitts. Incredibly warm, stitching is immaculate, "soft" nose wipe on each thumb, and has a rubber squeegee blade on the right thumb.

I've never had cold or wet fingers with these beasts. Also a big fan of how long the cuffs are, and have three points of "cinching" for the wrists. Zipper pockets on the tops of each hand (although I rarely use them other than as a cash stash). This will be my third season on them, and not one spot of wear.

The only downfall I can find with them is they can be TOO warm. On spring days (or anytime above freezing) my hands sweat in them. And not a little bit, but insane amounts .

So, in my mind, for normal to bitter cold winter riding conditions, they are the best glove I have ever used. 70 bucks is a bit high, but are totally worth it IMO. Can see these lasting me many more seasons.

Have fun in Jackson man!

EDIT: Wow..I feel really stupid right now. Since I had the gloves out already, I was playing around with them a little more and realized the "Zipper Stash Pockets" are not that at all. They are the HyVent tech...not a pocket (although they ARE big enough to stash a few bills in there). I can't believe I have had them for almost three years now and didn't realize the zippers are vents to cool off your hands on warm days. This changes everything. Going to have to try this out next time it is warm here...

I am going to have to go along all the way with batmanwest. i too have noethface montana gloves, but they are they fingered version. they keep every bit of snow and debris out while keeping warmth in. the zip is a vent but is really resourceful for small things and actually i even got a hot hands into each of them. also you could just put a hot toes in them since those are flater packets. mu ahnds always stay super cold compared to the rest of my body for some reason so they really help out. i also got mine for $50.

Originally posted by 2zz I had Burton Gore-Tex. It worked great. Kept my hands warm and dry. Have vents that can zip open or close too. Comes with a pair of liners too but I never had to use them together even in below freezing temps. But it's bulky and not as durable as it can be. Lasted bout 50 days before it started to rip. I'm using Colombia gloves...is Omni Tech or something. Is well made. I like it better than the Burton's. It's just as warm. Is almost good in warmer days but not cool enough. Needs vents. Lower profile and softer than my Burton's. I got bout 20 days on it and still seems new. I like the pull laces on this better. The Burton's got longer after many uses and I had to trim it shorter. The Colombia also dried faster if it got wet inside and warms faster too.

My current glove is the Columbia Omni.  Just not sure if I can snowboard for 6 consecutive days using the same glove.  Was looking for an additional glove to take with.  I have no issues with the Omni, however only used them a few times on the mountain.

I had the Burton gloves. My hands were soaked by the end of the day. I was very disappointed with those. It's interesting to see so many like them.

Currently I have a pair of REI switchbacks, happier with those. I like the clinch straps, but not zipper pocket.

Burton Gore-Tex are the best. They're waterproof and keep your hands warm and dry. They also come with an extra liner for cold days.

Originally posted by MTpow dakine bronco gloves are awesome.. definitely recommend those.  each day when you are done riding be sure to set your stuff by the heater in your place so they will dry out for the next day.

How does the sizing of these gloves run?  Found some for not so bad of a price, but have no ski shops around me (sucks living in Iowa).  I wear size Large for the Columbia gloves, would that be a safe assumption to get Large if I went for these gloves?

Originally posted by vicente dakine raiders are pretty nice esp for the price, nice long gauntlet, with leather and gore-tex is pretty hard to beat.

not able to find any info on the raiders, looking at the Titans though, like the longer gountlet style gloves.

Nowadays I use pipe gloves by Drop, model name is Ver-tex GT (Gore-Tex).  They keep my hands warm enough and I'm a big fan of maintaining dexterity.  Cost me $50 with end of season sale.  Kinda overpriced but I'm really happy with them.

Thanks for all the replies guys.  I ended up going with the Dakine Titan gloves.  The Bronco glove recommendation lead me to this.  I wanted the gauntlet style and I found backcountry had 20% off and free shipping so I jumped on it.  Supposed to be very warm, has a liner, and has gore-tex.  thanks to all for leading me to this, just hope it is as good as the reviews I have seen on it.

i bought these my last trip to the mountain. (my dumbass forgot gloves.) http://www.kombisnow.com/gloves-and-mitts/lifted/mens/gore-method I like them i think they fit my large hands very well. There goretex so theyre very warm and stay dry after 5 hours of riding. My only complaint is that the sleeve that goes up your wrist likes to pack some snow in it sometimes. But then again i was on my ass most of the day too. I think that the fingers are very moveable and they aren't super stiff, probably the only glove ive worn that i could actually pull my phone out of my pocket and hit the lock button in without taking it off. They allow you to be very dextrous. before that i just had some plain old columbias that i got from kohls. these seem to be much better quality. I bought them at my resort for 60 bucks... but i found them on amazon for 46bucks with sizes all the way up to large. http://www.amazon.com/Kombi-Gore-Method-Glove-Black/dp/B007BNXCSQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1356848584&sr=8-1&keywords=kombi+gore+method This other site i found also has the XLs and Larges in stock im not sure what size your hand is so id figure that id give you the option to see all the sizes. http://www.alpineaccessories.com/PRODUCT-TITLE/productinfo/K7734/MENS-XL/ 

*how do I delete a double post?*

I really recommend gloves that are made out of goretex and have a liner for that added warmth. My hands are naturally cold and I have the burton goretex Under. They keep my icy fingers toasty and dry. I've tried other gloves and these def. hold up in dryness and warmth. Only pair ill buy now.

dont recall the name but I have simple burton gloves that are gore tex. they arent huge or bulky.. all black with a removable liner so you can adjust for the weather. theyre perfect.

I'm having the same problems as Piranha with my dakine gloves. i have the dakine ravens which were supposedly designed by austin smith who i really don't know who he is but apparently he is a snowboarder, but still gloves aren't warm and get soaked

Pow mittens for cold days and pipe gloves for warm days.
