Are these gloves good for snowboarding? Or will the get torn up too fast? Would it be better to go with something like the Burton Throttle (http://www.backcountry.com/store/BUR2297/Burton-AK-3L-Throttle-Glove-Mens.html)

I'd tend to agree with FutureRetro if you are doing a lot of park riding. There are a number of scuffs and minor scratches in the palms of my gloves. Must make the point though that nothing has ever cut through the leather. I typically ride big mountain back country and avoid the park like the plague. Hold up perfect to grabbing tree branches as you blow by them though.

go for the throttles, im more a fan of synthetic shells on my boarding gloves...everything from grabs to wiping the powder out of your bindings really tests the durability of your gloves...and leather gloves just get torn up too easily. synthetic shells do the job better
