DAKINE Cobra Glove - Men's
failed to impress

Ranked #118 - Snowboard Gloves

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 agree. . . I was stoked on these, but when I got em, fit was off, super hard to get on my hand (XL) and the fingers are long, as well as a shotty liner. I'm eyeing Hestra's as well. And just like as mentioned above. . . BC allowed me to return them but due to shipping constraints they just comped them for me!!!! Just another way to get me to buy more gear from BC.
