Backcountry.com Stoic Inbounds Glove - Men's
Warmer than Kincos.

Ranked #303 - Ski Gloves

Warmer (wool vs. Kinco's Heatkeep synthetic) and more dexterous (precurved fingers and corrugated leather versus Kinco's flat fit) than either of the Kinco 901 or the Kinco 1927KW. Used in 10F weather and I was warm whereas with Kincos I would have needed liners. ***HOWEVER***: I suspect that these gloves will not be as durable as the Kinco 901 given their thinner leather, use of synthetics, and thinner stitching. I would not use these as a winter work glove.

test the stoic inbounds compared to the kincos 901. the stoic inbounds glove uses goat pittards leather, which is more durable that the pig hide used in kincos. also uses much better wool lining, and durable nylon faced softshell.
