Almost Perfect...but not so much!

By jermalex1827567 Ranked #74 - Ski Gloves April 8, 2008

I bought these gloves thinking they would be the most perfect glove for me. My requirements were: leather (i'm a splitboarder and snow board edges and binding buckles rip regular gloves to shreds), Gore XCR (I need lots of breathability), removable liner (makes drying much faster and allows me to tune the glove to the conditions/activity level). I though these gloves met all of the criteria, but when I got them i discovered a major problem with them... The uber-warm removable liners had the XCR insert sewn to them such that you couldn't tune-down the insulation without losing the waterproofness, i.e. no waterproof shell. I've had other BD gloves before and they were awesome. And the prodigys were almost awesome. In fact if BD had just thought about their design for another ten minutes they might have though to sew the water proof liner to the leather shell, making this a more versitile and, quite possibly, a more perfect glove.
