Burton AK Tech Glove - Men's

Item #BUR4305 | 3 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Great After

By Ranked #165 - Snowboard Gloves April 7, 2010

I got these for those warmer wetter days. I gave em the standard test for waterproofing I give all my gear. 20 Seconds under a running faucet. These failed miserably. They started absorbing water after about 5 seconds. However, I wasnt ready to give up on em yet. So I got my Nikwax glove treatment stuff, gave em a good coat as directed, let it dry and the next day did the test again. They passed, no water absorbed. Having tested in the most water they will ever see, they were ready for the field.

So these gloves are great now. They only got 3 stars because the waterproofing they came with was not so great. But now that that was fixed, they are comfortable, breath well, and look awesome. I highly recommend these but make sure to buy the Nikwax to treat them so they stay waterproof.
