Solid medium weather gloves
Todd Kehoe
Member since
These gloves are simple & solid for skiing Jackson Hole. I would not call these everyday glove, but for 2/3 of the days they do the job. On colder days I rock some burlier Black Diamond gloves. If you don't put sno-seal on these every few months, they absorb some water & wet gloves gloves makes your days not so fun, if you ride everyday it'll happen to ya no matter what. I always try to have extra set of gloves in backcountry pack when I'm riding Teton Pass or Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, you want to be prepared.
These gloves are all weather gloves in general, I use them also when I'm do early or late season backpacking the Greater Teton-Yellowstone region, they don't take up a lot of weight when you are on the trail. They are nice on the rainy or colder mornings and/or nights.
Lastly, I would recommend taking a sharpie & putting your last name/initials on theses gloves, because all my buddies in Jackson for the most part have these gloves as well & you don't grab you buddy's gloves by accident. I've seen it happen more than once.
These are great gloves for the money, plus everything on bc.com has lifetime warranty so you have nothing to lose. If they tear on you, send them back to bc.com you get a replacement pair or money back.
As good as any

Pretty much the same thing as a Kinco but already treated, about the same price on pro deal too. I have two pairs (one Ridge full leather, one TGG 1/2 leather), one beater pair and a good pair. Ropework has worn the beater pair down and is no longer as waterproof, and it also has some lacerations from ski edges, but that will happen to any glove. They arn't perfect, but these gloves are as good as any.
I dig these gloves...

Good gloves for a good price. Leather has stood up to a lot!
They are good for days around zero, or a max of -10*C, anything colder than that and you really feel it.
My only issue is that the stitching has come loose on my right thumb seem.
Great Gloves

Gloves are correct size and fit. Quality is good and the leather seems really tough. I ran them under the kitchen sink to see how waterproof they are and nothing came through. I would not wear these on sub zero days as I don't think the insulation could handle those temps. Overall great glove.
Solid work and ski gloves

I bought these gloves for my long work days at the mountain, (lift operator) and I am pretty happy with them. They are durable and rugged and love the natural leather on them. I have always struggled with circulation in my hands and these proved to not be warm enough on colder days. I have to tuck my hands into a ball after a run or two. They also stiffen up when they gt cold and when your hands have come in contact with the snow. But for the price they are a great buy and I still really like them as my liftie gloves.
Nice gloves

Nice grip, not too bulky but still warm. Good winter gloves for outdoor activities. I have smaller hands (in between a medium and large), but went with the medium and they are a good fit. Medium gloves usually fit my fingers but are too narrow for my hands, but these fit well.
Warm, Dry, Durable

These gloves are great. Rugged exterior allows you to do almost anything. Soft warm insulation keeps your hands warm. Liner is not bulky at all. These gloves have great dexterity. Great glove for doing anything in the winter.

The glove is is simple & tough, but if you buy it on bc.com, you warrantied for life. It may eventually fall apart, but YOU WILL get you money back if it SNAFUs. That is why I trust bc.com.
Very durable

These are essentially Kinco work gloves, so you know they are tough. I basically have the same Kinco work glove but without the cuff to ski with. The added cuff is great and they came with a snow seal baked in so I'm set for this season. With the cuff, these easily fit under my jacket, and keep me very warm.
Are those this years gloves?

I like Flylow. I am a dedicated user of Flylow. Love the pants, jackets, and the camper belt has a bottle opener- I mean, come on! Flylow rules.
That said, this years Ridge glove, and Tough Guy glove are both substandard for a Flylow product. The gloves this year are thinner, and the cuff is also much tighter, which makes for difficult off/on again-throughout-the-day use.
So no, I'm not as stoked on these gloves anymore.
Sizing Chart to fit those paws of yours

Sorry we don't have any sizing chart on the gloves. I found a good sizing chart on another site tho. Check it out. http://www.powder7.com/flylow-gloves-size-chart/sizing-guide
They're more expensive Kincos.

Kinco makes these for Flylow, and Flylow rebrands them.
Go to the hardware store, buy a pair of Kincos for $12, buy Snoseal for $3 - bake them yourself.
The only other edge Kinco has, is they reinforce their palms and fingers with an extra layer of pigskin - the Flylow version doesn't have this.
Bang for your buck!

The best full leather gloves you can get for the money! they're super warm and the cuff is awesome for keeping the snow out. I would absolutley recommend these for the chilly days and the Flylow Tough guy gloves for the nicer days.
Great for the price

Great durable/warm glove for the price. When it comes to fit/grip/dexterity the Hestra's work better with my hands.
My new favorite gloves
micaroo
Member since
Love these things. They offer more use than just skiing/snowboarding in the winter time. They're my new favorite go-to glove that I always keep in my car now.
I haven't used them in extremely slushy snow yet, but they have kept my hands dry and warm under normal snow conditions.
The greatest part about them (besides the excellent cheap price) is that I haven't had the need to take them off in order to adjust, take on, or take off any of my gear.
Fall apart quickly

Member since
I am on my second pair this season and it is not even February. First pair the Thinsulate ripped out of the fingers in less than a month. Second pair is beginning to fall apart after two weeks of work as a patrol. I am going with Kinco!!!!!
Pretty much insulated work gloves
jef3941838
Member since
These gloves are basically the same as a fully-insulated leather work glove you can get at your local hardware store.
They are nice gloves, though, very solid, and your average fully-insulated hardware store glove might not always have knit cinch-wrist feature (which is nice) but the Flylows are also 3-4 times the price as a hardware store glove.
In terms of the fit, I would echo another reviewer in that they are "short and fat". I usually wear an XL and these XLs are very roomy/baggy in the palm/heel area of the hand with less length in fingers.
Awesome Glove

Heavy Duty Leather, but not stiff. Liner is warm and it's not as bulky as I thought it would be. XL are big...I have banana hands and these are on the cusp of being too big, but not quite....
Awesome looking and have been performing well for the two times I have used them for shoveling snow. As soon as we get some snow, I will be taking them on the Mountains.
I like that FLYLOW dips these in beeswax to seal the leather. It does make a difference.
For the pricepoint, what you get is off the charts. You won't regret buying these.

After you seal the glove with water proofing sealant, these are my go-to gloves for all conditions. The thin interior layers allow for skin-close grip and the thinsulate provides good warmth on those cold days. I don't recommend using these when it's super cold or wet, and it could be consider a more mid/light weight weather glove. Love.
