Free the Powder Gloves?

[jono]

I had amazingly good results last year wearing the mittens with glove liners. I sized up one size and carried two sets of liners, wearing one or both depending on conditions. I was in chemo last year and extremely sensitive to temps going too low or sweating, so I was really focused on it. Paying attention and adjusting early was key, but doing that I never had a problem staying warm enough. Only issue I had was overheating with chemical hand warmers. I don't remember temps, but I got out on a few really good/light days so I'm sure this saw single digits. The breathability of this setup is hudgely important, too.

Anyone have the spring gloves? What do you think of them? I'm looking at replacing some Oakley park gloves that tend to get wet from my sweaty hands, they stay damp for too long after.

Great gloves. They're Thicker and warmer then Rossi spring gloves.

I have a new pair, so they're not yet broken in, but find them a little tighter then the fit of the Other FTP models, which is what you want the spring gloves.

I agree with the above, they are a little thicker than most spring gloves, but they breathe so well that I dont get sweaty. Fit is a bit tighter than the other gloves, but dexterous as fuck.

Uhhhhhhgreeed!

Stomping it!

Make sure to remove the mittens while in the potty.

I had my lobsters out at Loveland yesterday in below zero temps, and kept my digits warm.
My fingers are always frozen and these have been a great glove/mitten for the warmth factor. I see the spring glove in my near future.

MPPG, can you put up a photo with the springs on where the cuff is visible?

See my post a couple pages back for context, I want to compare them to the cuff photos of the race glove that were posted so I can decide what to order.

[My Pet Powder Goat]

Ok. I'll try to get that done tonight

It sounds like you've had bathroom mishaps in the past. That's no bueno.

Pro Tip: Once in lodge find your post, remove all non essential gear [including mittens] leave gear there, head to bar & order an IPA, continue on to the shitter & drop that deuce, return to find your frosty beverage. You're welcome!

Stomping it!

I’m loving the Spring Glove. Also, props for FTP’s warranty. Stitched and even retreated my pretty beat RX for free (just s + h) and got them back to me quickly.

I spent Monday bootpacking after the storm on Sunday. The Spring gloves were warm dry in high single digits to low teen temps. They are snug initially but stretch with use. They are much nicer for that type of day than the SX or original shorties which are too warm for me. They would make a really nice work glove I would think, better than the old stand by Kincos. More weatherproof than the 1927s and more breathable than 914/901. They fit better too, more dexterouser.

Better tip, shit before leaving home.

Bike gloves from the usual suspects seem to get more garish, more expensive, and more disposable (not even lasting through a season riding) every year, so I'm trying out FTP's MX mountain biking gloves. They're as comfortable and grippy as anything I've used, are a steal at their current price, and given my experience with FTP's ski gloves I have high hopes for durability. Nice work.

Great price, just picked some myself. Outlet has some smoking prices on winter gloves it seems, so had to let a couple friends know as they were looking for some.

What are people doing to treat the leather? SnoSeal, FTP cream, Hestra cream, mink oil, nothing???

FTP cream works really well. I remember thinking it was expensive.

[Vt-Freeheel]

I bought some MX gloves, a T-shirt and a new hat as the one MPPG gave me is getting won out. They were quickly put in the mail last week and should arrive today.

I'm really happy with the spring glove and the mtn bike glove has been great as well. The mtn bike glove is a bit thick for certain EC summer swelter fest days.

[plugboots]

I like the mountain bike gloves. I wish there was one size larger for my meat hooks and I wish they had a booger wiper on the thumb.

Mountain bike gloves fit similar to the ski gloves and mitts? I've been between an M and L in the ski wear, but need some mtb gloves.

[Peruvian]

^^^I wear XL in both.

[Shredhead]

The MTB gloves are great, but they stretch. I would go with the M.

Any chance there’s a maggot discount code for these guys?

Not sure specifically what you are looking for, but I have been very happy with two pairs of factory seconds. I can't even find where the flaws are.

^^^ Same here. Great deals on what look like perfect specimens. If mine have a flaw, I don’t see it.

The logo on one of mine may be not perfectly aligned. That’s all.
