Glove recomendation

[crackboy]

So with my birthday coming up I was thinking I might ask the misses for a new pair of gloves.

Was thinking something fairly lightweight and softshellish, since i can't stand big heavy gloves. I typically only use liner type gloves, but want something a bit more waterproof/wind resistant and breathable after having my liners get soaked through on multiple occasions this weekend

Some ones i have checked out

BD Pilot glove
MH Fulcrum
or possible the Marmot Spring Glove but they may be too bulky

So basically looking for a lighterweight softshellish type glove opinions

If you are checking out the Spring Glove, look at the BD Impulse glove. Alpinist Glove from Marmot is also pretty sick. A little more of a glove that is great, light and have great dexterity is the Cloudveil Chopper glove.

i use the dakine cobra glove. really comfortable, easy to maneuver with, lightweight, warm, and its gore-tex. great glove. also i hear the hestra morrison glove is really good.

I tried Dakine cobra glove and didn't like it as much as an all leather glove. I've been using a leather dakine glove like these for 3 years at about 50 days per year. Dakine Duke. They keep my fingers warm even though they just have a simple leather and fleece. I think they work so well cause the leather is really breathable and my hands don't get clammy. Also Hestra gloves or cloudveil are really nice. I would say anything that is leather would be good. Haven't heard great things abotu the marmot glove you speak of, but I haven't tried them myself either.

I'm intrigued by the Reusch Pike's Peak glove. Appears to be dextrous as fuck, low profile and sports an eVent membrane. On sale too......

A glove other than Hestra being dexterous as fuck! Blasphemy!!!!!

I've got an Arcteryx Stinger glove that I love. Ice climbing glove, about 2/3 leather, rest soft shell. Dexterous and very warm given how thin it is. Picked it up local at an end of season thing for 40, which I believe was half off. Given that retail is having problems this year you may well find them at that price again soon.

Clicking on the overstock link noticed this "BT Sport" glove

Is it just me or is that the Marmot Work Glove without branding?

Yea dude im with ya! I have a pair of Dakine Mustang's and they rock!!! I use them in any weather, for seriously cold weather I have to throw a pair of handwarmers in em.

I just got a pair of Hestra Anthony B's I haven't used em yet, they are a little more bulky but feel alright.

+1 on Dakine. I've got the Charger spring glove (softshell top w/leather palm) as well as some Dakine gore tex mittens (not sure which model) for really cold days. The Chargers are warm enough that I only break out the mittens about 2x/year.

POW Gloves, Re stealth or Murkin

I trashed a pair of Marmot Spring Gloves in about 5 days. As in seams coming apart, had to ducttape back together trashed.

I had the same type question and just bought the dakine navigator.

Schoeller knuckle , leather palm and fingers, light lining. I'll post how they do when I get them out there this weekend.
