Burton Gore-Tex Glove - Men's
Poor Seam Quality

On paper these gloves are great. Grippy liners. Nice soft goggle wipe. Mini zip pocket for lift pass. Easy to remove, just pull 2 straps with 2 fingers. What lets them down is the construction quality. I had a pair and after around 10-15 days of riding the seams started coming undone. I got them replaced under warranty, nowhere near the "W48" promise btw. By the time I next used the replacement pair just over a year had passed since I bought the original pair and the same thing happened, the seams around the fingers and thumbs started unravelling. Burton refused to replace or fix them saying it was "over a year since I bought the original pair". Very poor customer service. Why not just admit you have made some sh#t gloves and repair or replace them. I will never buy burton gloves again. The design is great, the build quality is piss poor.
