OK Dave. After seeing the best of the best gloves fail in all the rain events we have seen at Revy and area's this winter I decided to give these a try. If they can stay dry in the conditions we had last weekend the world will know about it on Snow and Mud. HaHa. Hope they work as the price is steep.

No doubt the price on these is high, I am not a huge fan of hugely expensive stuff either, I have used these gloves and variations of it from Columbia and Mountain Hardwear for many years. They do work! Hope you find them good, the weather patterns we have been dealt this year have been good for testing gear! Happy Riding!!

I have 3 pairs pairs of True Adventure Gear X1's. I like the first pair so much, I bought a couple more pairs at the '14 Sled Show. Great for all day riding warm or cold, good handlebar feel and easy to dry out.

i agree this stuff is expensive but you get what you pay for. These gloves work just as good as the 200$ KLIM gloves and the skidoo helium gear works just as good as the 400$ klim gear aswell. guess whos warm and dry when they come into the cabin for a break. but yes gear is outrageously priced im just saying a 200$ glove is 4x better than a 50$ glove

Totally agree. I've worn some skidoo gear and I also have some klim stuff. Sure it was pretty expensive but I'm never the one that ends up whining about being cold or wet. The less expensive stuff may work on most days, but 1 or 2 days riding in the rain or super cold and I don't think anyone would hesitate to spend a bit more for the good stuff

I have these gloves and really like them but after a day of rain/wet snow and plus temperatures they still get wet, but there better then my Klim gloves and stay dry a lot longer.
