I always have a hard time finding a glove that fits good so I'm afraid to order online. My hands are big across the palm but my fingers are shorter so they don't reach the end of most gloves that I can pull over my hands. Does anyone know how the Tobe gloves fit?

Tobe worn, all day never change, best glove made, can be soaking wet outside but not inside, used to wear many gloves a day, now never change

And these gloves have probably 300 mountain rides, between fingers still good,, were all others I have had, busted there

I have a pair and they are good but my old motorfist gloves still are better at not letting the wind through.

I got these in a medium. They are more of a slim long finger fit. Good fit for me but for comparison I wear a size 9 or medium work glove.

Skidoo Backcountry Gloves. Pricey at $239 but they stay dry. Best glove I found since my old Reima Goretex gloves from years ago

Are these gloves discontinued? The website is saying they only have them in size small. Or am I missing something?

Army leather heli ski. I’m on season 3 on mine. Just keep them oiled with the hestra oil.

dreaming about them being in my stocking this year... I tried a few pairs on this weekend and just about pulled the trigger!

who runs gauntlets and who runs under cuffs? pro tips?

I find the gauntlet is great but after a few on/off/on/off/on a guy gets lazy and doesn't do the top up and I get snow in... boom wet gloves

undercuffs with a good jacket gaiter

I usually run gauntlets on the trail and undercuff when riding. The holy grail for me is a nice light glove with a gauntlet.

If you are from central Alberta or passing by this way, Red Line Performance carries Tobe gloves and 509 goggles.

Do the Tobe Capto gauntlet gloves "ice up" on the palms when you stop to help dig someone out? I have this problem with most gloves, where the palm will ice up when digging out... than back onto heated handle bars and than my gloves are wet.

So I went into the store to get a pair of FXR Fuel Gloves today because I wanted to try those but saw the Tobe Capto gauntlet and they look really nice. Ended leaving with nothing as I couldn't make up my mind.

i always keep my handle bar warmers off, when I'm riding around in the alpine. I turn them on just before heading down the trail. I used to ride with them on and my gloves were always wet. Now I can ride almost all day with dry gloves with hand warmers off. I use klim gloves.
