So im in desperate need of new hand protection for next season and i figure the end of the season is the cheapest time to get it.
I need some pretty waterproof stuff for the sludge we australians call snow and im thinking mittens instead of gloves.
Can anybody suggest anything? even if its just a brand to look into
thanks guys
Fyfe make some look fresh. I have Level mitts which are great and super warm.
do you mean fyve?
thanks il check it out
Oh yep typo. Fyve
Pretty sure Radical gloves are mandatory for Australians.
Well priced and support BW too: http://www.radicalgloves.com/#/Welcome/
thanks but im going to try find mittens before i resort to new gloves
does anybody have any celtek gear is it good?
Wouldn’t have hurt checking out the website, seeing as I went to the trouble of linking it for you…
i did right when i saw it i just couldnt find the mittens il go back on now and have a propper search so dont worry your effort wasnt wasted
just about the coolest website design going around though
I have a pair of Celtek ‘Philly’ mittens which I’m really impressed with. Rode with them for most of the season over in whistler and they haven’t worn a bit, still look like new. Only catch is that they are super warm so don’t go for their warmer rated gloves for aus conditions.
thanks finny im thinking these ones at the moment
Haha!! They look sick
i hve celtek gloves i bought in Tahoe. Super epic, but as finney said, real warm so i only wear them in OZ on cold days.
I might go buy some Rad love gloves actually.
I’ve got the celtek phily mitts as well and they are super warm! will definately make your hands sweat on warm days!
I use Burton Ak series mitts, they are just a shell, then I use either the liners supplied, or Fyve gloves in them depending on how cold it is.
I get really hot and sweaty hands and hate wearing gloves. I have found the Fyve pipe gloves excellent until it gets really cold.
I have had a hard time finding the AK mitts in Oz though.
alright thanks for all the input guys been very helpful
:’(
Can’t find anyone with Rad gloves in stock in Sydney! I want to get a pair before I go to Japan (I lost my other gloves, got the inners, but the main gloves, fucked if I know where they got to!).
