Backcountry.com Stoic Inbounds Glove - Men's
Tough, Comfortable, Dry - End All Work / Play Glove
By Austin H.

Spent about 80 days on hill last season in these gloves touring, in bounds, sidecountry and shooting photos.
Previously I've used a number of Hestra, Reusch and no-name work gloves when I coached racing and shot photos professionally. Every use breaks these gloves in to a new level of comfort / fit perfection and comfort. Leather gloves either wear quickly or stand up to the elements, these stand up. DWR coating stayed dry during a trip back to the East coast, skiing in Maine with some friends during mixed precip.
Plenty of dexterity, palm padding is minimal but feels plush. Wrist closure is high quality velcro, stays tight every time.. no stretching or cheating as the day goes on. Buying a back up pair for this season and a couple of pairs for my family friends.
Wish I had this glove when I worked professionally on hill..
Fit looks bulkier than it is. I'm about 165, 5'11 with proportional hands.. not too large but not small. Purchased a large and it was spot on.
