DAKINE Viper Glove - Men's

Viper Strikes and...

By Ranked #423 - Gloves May 1, 2009

Grabbed a pair of these a few seasons ago for spring skiing. They don't have any sort of lining, so at least for mine I can fell the fabric overlap of the stitching against my hands. They have no insulation, so any days where it gets below a sunny -5 degrees celsius, I won't even consider them. The sticky palm design was great, until I really started using and abusing them, which consequently meant that the silicone fell off. The velcro on both sides of the wrist is a great idea, but Dakine didn't stitch the bottom half properly, so I had to staple it. It was an alright purchase, hopefully they have improved on my version with this one.
