Mountain Hardwear Fulcrum EXT Glove

4 Star Rating

Fulcrum for the WIN!

By Ranked #676 - Ski Gloves January 14, 2009

Let me start out by saying that I've used these gloves over a dozen times already in the snow, both snowboarding and mountaineering. These gloves are extremely comfortable, warm, dexterous. The goat skin on the finger tips give you a really good feel on what you are touching.. whether it be your bindings on your snowboard, or working your rope through an ATC belay device!! The pull strings mechanism to cinch down the gauntlet is Very quick and easy to use, and seems to be a durable design. As you would expect they are perfectly windproof. They also take a low profile liner glove just fine, the fingers are just wide enjoy to fit a liner.

The only reason I didn't give these gloves 5 stars is because the grey leather isn't waterproof. The black goat skin seems to repel the water just fine, but after a long day of snow boarding the grey leather would be wet! It was an easy fix, I applied Nikwax waterproofer over the grey and black leather, and have not had a problem since!

Most Definitely recommend these gloves!
