DAKINE

Nova Wristguard Mitten

Wrist injuries are all too common in snowboarding, especially when you're learning the ropes. Keep yourself out of the ER and on the hill with the Dakine Nova Wristguard Mitten. The generous 280 grams of insulation makes these mittens toasty warm, and your hands will stay dry thanks to the waterproof polyurethane insert. There's a hard-wearing leather palm, which works just as well for strapping into your board as it does for hanging onto the snack you're munching on in the lift line. But you're probably here for the removable, integrated wrist guards. They support both the palm and the top of your hand, and the external straps hold the guard in place to keep you protected. They're warm, they're dry, and they're way more comfortable than a broken wrist.
