the inbounds will take on the Kinco head to head. the inbounds uses goat leather, the kinco uses Pig... not as durable. also the kinco is cotton lined, so while you may look like a rancher, the wet and not articulated glove will also feel a ranchers glove, not a skiers glove.

It might be heresy, but the Inbounds really isn't a real snow work glove - but then again the BD Patrol, the Cloudveil Troller, the Marmot Exum, and the Hestra Patrol aren't either. All of them will rip apart under heavy use. The Inbounds however IS the best compromise glove between a dextrous, warm, but rather delicate glove like the Hestra Patrol and a not-as-warm, but completely bombproof can-stop-a-chainsaw-with-my-hands-and-pick-up-flaming-logs-and-get-grease-all-over-them-and-I-don't-care, but-I-can't-bend-my-fingers Kinco 901 true winter work glove. I would rate it as more durable than all the other options I've listed save the Kinco 901. These are a good price compared to the other mainstream options I've listed from Marmot, BD, Cloudveil, Hestra, et. al. With short fingers, I'd get the L. But be aware the cuff is quite narrow and will be a squeeze to get on and off with your broad palm.

I would suggest large. Give them a try- it shouldn't be much longer before all your patrol buddies have them too.
