Backcountry.com Stoic Inbounds Glove - Men's
Inbounds Glove is Fantastic!
By Eric Miller
February 16, 2009
I used these gloves for everything from skiing to bike commuting to shoveling the driveway to touring and the glove was awesome for everything. It is definitely a cold weather glove. I wore it on a couple of commutes with temps in the high 30s/low 40s and my hands got a little too warm. On moderate days they were a little too warm to wear when skinning but were perfect for the turns down.
It does have ample insulation to keep your hands warm on the cold days yet is dexterous enough to do small tasks like pulling zippers, adjusting boots, applying skins, etc without feeling like your doing with boxing gloves on.
I haven't applied the Nikwax treatment yet and haven't had any problems with the gloves getting wet or cold.
On one of the palms the stitching of the pad started to come undone a little but a little trimming stopped it from completely unraveling.
I'd recommend this glove to anyone who likes to play outside during the cold days of winter.
