This glove is great for 30+ degrees outside and is not meant to take a huge beating, my gloves ripped at the fingers but they survived the winter, Dakine also offered to replace them which was pretty cool of them. I would suggest these for in bounds skiing and shoveling the driveway. I liked them alot, stylish and easy to throw on, never had finger issues either (bunched up fingers inside). For the price pick up a couple pairs!

these gloves looked amazing on the website. the reviews were 90% positive, nearly everyone loved them. I ordered them for Christmas, and when i opened the box, they sure looked good. but when i actually used them, they were quite disappointing. my fingers got cold after a 20 minute walk in 20 degree weather. I shook it off as incidental. then i went skiing nine days with them on, and it seemed that after every run i'd have to curl my fingers into fists to preserve some heat. my fingers would constantly be cold, even when the temp was in the teens and twenties. i expect more from a pair of gloves. without warmth, even the most stylish gloves are useless. I have to say i was disappointed with the performance of these gloves. i gave them a chance, and honestly, they failed to come through.
not worth the money-next time i'll invest in some hestra's or something.

However, Backcountry was was great with their return policy, and true to their word

I've had these gloves for three seasons and the leather/rubber palm is starting to wear a bit near the stitching, having been dragged through quite a long distance. They're decently rugged. They're still extremely warm and still waterproof, just as the day I bought them. I would highly recommend these gloves to anybody that isn't a first-timer snowboarding because these aren't gauntlet-style. But for non-beginners, it's great because it's soft, warm, lightweight, small, and works for most any situation. It's Gore Tex material so you know it will definitely keep the water out. You can put them on and dunk your hand in a pool and water won't get in (unless it pours in from the cuff, then you're just stupid). The thumbs are a bit long for me, but maybe I just have short thumbs.

I have used these gloves for just this season and the there is already a rip on the wrist stap. But other than that these gloves do the job. They aren't as low profile as i thought they would be (actually pretty bulky). But in the end they do their main job of keeping my hands warm great! On the cold cold days i wear laytex surgeon gloves under them and that works like a charm. My hands were on fire when it was dipping below zero! A nice glove at a nice price.

Expensive, but sizing chart is accurate and gloves are good. You get what you pay for...

the gloves seems to be little bit smaller than i expected - better buy larger size !!!

Love these gloves. Definitely a cold weather glove. I've warn them in sub-zero temps on multiple occasions and haven't had a problem with my hands getting even remotely cold. They do run a little small, but allow for great dexterity and range of motion. Gotten about 30 days in with the cobras and haven't yet experienced any issues with durability. Overall, I'd highly recommend these. Warm, comfortable, sick look.

These gloves are just OK. Fit is great, fairly low-profile, very usable, but just not that warm. Used them for a trip to SW Montana where temps were around 5-10 and my hands just wouldn't stay warm. Ended up using my ancient, destroyed Burton mits. Over 15/20 degrees, these are fine but colder than that, you'll want something else.

This is a great glove. Gore-tex keeps you dry. Very dexterous. Very comfortable. Very durable. This glove gives you that steezy pipe glove look while still keeping you warm. This is not the glove to wear on those really cold days. But upt o about 20 degrees they will do the trick.

I have used these gloves around town, in the backcountry, off-piste and lift skiing, and they have performed above the price I paid. If you are susceptible to freezing digits, these gloves will be your savior (they keep my hands on the borderline of being to warm). This is one of the best ski gloves I have ever owned. What keeps the rating below a 5 is the bulkiness of the glove, but a minor objection.

Dude, i bought these gloves mid-season last year and they held up pretty good untill about a month later when the stitching holding the cloth to the leather started coming undone. Another thing that eventually happened to these gloves was the leather palm got torn up from grabs. All in all my gloves probably have a total of 5 holes each, DON't BUY THESE GLOVES IF YOU PARK SKI

I live and ride in Jackson Hole, riding 100 days a season...It's very cold and windy on some of our upper faces, and the Cobras are very warm, especially for being an underglove, and perfect for this environment. The DWR finish on the leather keeps the gloves from feeling waterlogged/heavy, and the Gore-Tex inserts keep you dry in the wettest of conditions.

Never a problem with leather wearing out or stitching problems. I'm on my 2nd pair only because they start to smell funky for as much as I'm on the mountain!

An amazing value for an underglove and hard to beat given its tech/features.

These gloves kept my hands warm in -40C, but the stitching in the thumb did tear after a few days of use. It’s easy to fix but could make you cold if it grows.

These gloves are plastic junk compared the all leather Dakine Duke and is not a consistant size Medium compared to the Dakine Duke and all other size Medums that I have ever had. They run very small as if they were a kids size Medium.

I didn't get a chance to test them out because I want to return them as I received them.

I had the bronco gloves for roughly two seasons, and never had a problem with my hands getting cold. The Cobra is a beefier glove than the Bronco, and has the same feel and fit as the Bronco. So far we have two resorts opened, and I have yet to dislike this new set. I recommend these to the hardcore skiers/riders that want the most warmth, and grab-ability out of a lightweight glove.

After replacing an old pair of The North face hydroseal gloves that I'd used for years, I was pretty pumped to try these out, I was mostly looking forward to a lower profile undercuff glove. Anyway this weekend we had a powder day at Kicking Horse BC - snow up top, rain on the bottom, I've never skied a day like that before and had dry hands at the end of the day. These gloves are amazing, and pretty decent value too.

The second day I used these gloves the Velcro fasteners started to unstitch! I had to use industrial strength glue to repair them. They kept my hands warm and dry though.

This glove has great dexterity for the amount of warmth it provides. Plus it's GORETEX...'Nuff said!

I have used these gloves all around the mountain, and they have proven to be very warm and waterproof, but the seam above the strap teared my second day using them. It is easy to fix, but water could get in. Also, the some of the stitching is coming out on the seams.

These gloves are warm and I love the low-profile wrist cuffs that fit underneath my shell. Gauntlets will keep snow out better in case you wipe out, but I find them more annoying to take on and off repeatedly. The Velcro strap adjustment on the wrist cuff isn't very well designed, it's a bit short but still better than nothing. These gloves aren't bulky so dexterity is great given how warm they are. I've only worn these gloves on a few day trips, but other folks have experienced the seams coming loose. Time will tell how durable they are, but so far they are great.

Dakine CObra's keep you dry & warm to a certain point. I took them in the backcountry & lasted about 10min. On the hill up to maybe -10C or so. Really comfy glove.

I've been using these gloves for about three weeks now and they do the job just fine. My hands are never cold and never feel any sort of wetness throughout a full day of boarding. The leather on the palm side does seem to wear rather quickly and the nylon material between the fingers up by the tips are beginning to tear just a bit. Still fully waterproof and warm though. Although they probably won't make it past this season they are still awesome gloves!

The Dakine Cobra Glove provides good warmth, I thought with the leather palm that they would also provide good durability. That is not the case. The pluses on this glove are good warmth (around 5 degrees skiing today and they were warm)and they are dry. I purchased these gloves about a month ago and I'm already starting to show wear and tare on the fingers and on the seams. I'm hoping they hold together for now but am not counting on it. Thought I'd give Dakine a try as other products I have used from them have been good. I'll probably look to spend a bit more if these don't last the season and go with Hestra.

this glove rocks - great goretex, super warm for these Utah winters and totally stands up to anything!

Awesome gloves.. I'm a ski instructor so I use them every day - they're holding up great. They look dope and are extremely comfortable. My hands get cold when its REALLY cold, otherwise they stay pretty warm. Great glove - buy

Easily the best golve that I have ever owned. My biggest problem with golves in the past has been poor construction so they're falling apart by the end of the season. Not a problem with these. Made out of the strongest materials, these gloves fit well, easily go under your jacket's writs closure, and are warm enough for cold Colorado days. The waterproofing is top notch and the gloves just have a beefy feel that makes it clear they're super high quality.

These gloves were perf for what I needed. They can tend to get a bit sweaty on sunny days which is my only complaint. Other than that, they leather is super fly, the white is a great color scheme, good slight finger angles and the cuffs are super comfy on the wrists. Perf for cold snowy days and below and ok for those warm spring days, might be worth getting a less heavy spring pair and these to be set for a season

Great for boarding but do not flex well for skiing. In other words they bend at the base of the knuckles but not at the rest of the finger joints very well. They are hella durable and kinda heavy because of it. Guaranteed to take a beating. If you board and like a pipe glove fit for kinda cold temps get them.

This is the third pair of Dakine Gore Tex gloves I have purchased in the last few years. (Remember if you set your gloves on top of the car and then drive away they will not hang on for very long)

I love these gloves.
