Gloves...

What do you use? What do you like? What do you hate?

Hestra, nothing even comes close....

I have some motorfist for light gloves and run a set of HJC full leather for the colder days.

Klim Powerxross all day everyday

I don't bother with klim gloves any more. They just fall apart. I wear gas station warm gloves up the trail, than moto x style gloves while I ride.

I've never found a good set of "snowmobiling" gloves. Something that keeps yours hands warm and dry and gives you good grip on the sled.

If such a thing exists let me know and post up pics of the gloves if you can.

orange crappy tire hunting gloves...surpriseingly supple,cheap and work great with the heater on grips...found most everything else stiff and didn't work well with heater due to thickness...have thicker gloves but leave them in the powderkeg should l need...as it stands now simple light gloves work well with the handle bar heaters

What duke said. I find that most traditional sled gloves are too bulky for me, I have and will use cold weather MX gloves for most days but on -10 and lower I have a set of Outdoor Research gloves (afterburner? vert? contact? or sorry can't remember the style) that I use, they are supposed to be for ice climbing, warm and light and probably the best ones I have found so far. I've found no matter what material, style, etc, all gloves get wet, so I just carry 2 sets of spares and never had an issue. The lighter gloves dry really fast too so you can dry them at night no probs and they are ready for the next day, even will dry at the cabin over lunch if the fires going good and they aren't drenched.

I got the lighter Motorfist ones I wear most day and skidoo light ones for when the Motorfist get wet. And with hand earners they are good till -15 or so. But when it's -20 ish I wear cheap peavy mart leather mitts not gloves but mitts. Once you wear them a few times the padding wears out and you can grab the handle bars really good. But they are to warm most days.

Check out the new Highmark gloves from BRP. They have a bonding process inside so if your hands are wet they will slide in and out without the inner liner getting bunched up. Saw a demo where they had them sitting in water below the glove entry and were completely dry inside. They are a short glove and if you like a gauntlet style the Backcountry glove is the same design. Pricey but they work!

True Adventure Gear X1's. Using same pair for almost 4 years. Never leave home without them. Have a pair of Motorfist I have never wore yet. That's how good the TAG's are.
.
I think Sno-Bunje dealer in Red Deer still carries them or buy them at the Sled Show.

Still looking for something that is good.

Dakine - Hard to get on/off and fall apart
Swany - Fall apart
Klim - Fall apart
Motorfist Valkyrie - last half a season until they fall apart and have turned into sponges
Motorfist WOT - Same
True Adventure Gear Storm X2 - Thought I had found a decent glove but now see they are starting to come apart. At least they lasted 3/4 of a season

Next on the list is retiring the Storms to trail duty and getting a lighter technical glove just for riding. Tried moto gloves before but my hands get soaked and freeze in them.

Check out the Hestra gloves, alpine pro or alpine category. Nice gloves. Have a pair of czones they are good for everyday riding, also have a pair of the fault guide gloves for cold days on the trail up and down. Good quality stuff

True Adventure Gear is my glove of choice now. Always easy on and off even with wet hands......they do not have that inner liner that seems to always slide around like the Klims and others

I have Klim Togwotee. At first I thought I found a great glove. They feel great, keep warm and dry, but they fall apart. Klim gave me a new pair under warranty, but the second pair have also worn out very quicky. Again the leather palm is garbage. And I only wear while riding. When unloading the trailer, ramps, hooking up, etc, I wear work type gloves.
Maybe they will warranty a third pair, but just going to get the same thing. For a $100+ glove, not too impressive.

I've had really good luck with my Klim gloves. I have a pair that are about 4 years old and another pair that are about 2 years old. I was impressed with them this year in Revy when it was pouring rain all the the way from the parking lot to the cabin. The outside of my gloves were wet, but my hands were dry. I didn't have use my spare pair all day. And they are holding up really well, no rips or tears or loose threads.

I really like my motor fists. They are going on 3 seasons now and are still good. The liners got all f'ed up the first time I put them in the drier,and I couldn't get my hand in the gloves. So ripped them all the way out and fully detached them so they come all the way out. ( still attached at the wrist. ). Now that there ' fixed' there awesome. They do need a new coat of wax for water proofing though.

I like my Motorfist WOT gloves, they have I think three years on them now and still good.
