Got a spare pair for my back up pair
I have three pairs. My first pair I got on promo with my monosuit. Its still my primary glove and Ive put on over 3500km in my first two seasons of mountain sledding EVER while smashing through SOOOOO MUCH snow riding out of Revelstoke, BC.
I JUST finally had a puncture when dealing with broken scratchers and overheating the other day ( late season, spring condition trail access learnings lol ) but its small and hasnt torn further [ I palmed a spikey sharp corner the wrong way -_- ].
With a wee bit of gorilla I bet it'll keep going for another season and then some. I usually only have my handlebar heaters on when Im warming up here and there or starting out etc but I dont ride much below -15c or so not counting windchills. I find when I am riding when its cooler its easier to control the body temp plus the snow's less wet so you can find a balance it seems where my hands dont get wet but they still do stay warm. I suffer from chronic cold finger and toes after years of ongoing neglect in younger years and work and LIFE.
I would buy other gloves if something else made more sense for me but these have been wonderfully reliable. Irode with handguards last year and without them this year but still wore these gloves start to finish virtually everyday until I bought my second and third pairs. If youre stopped for a while and basically done for the day but you and your group are more hanging out and socializing so to speak IT IS nice to have fresh gloves and/or layers on…
