Guide Glove - Men's

Very Durable

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Size Bought:

Xl

I have owned 3 pairs of the guide gloves. They are the most durable gloves i have owned. The additional leather patch from the thumb to the forefinger is great for those who remove their skis to ride the gondola, as the edges will not rip through them. The stitching has never un raveled on these gloves. My only knock is they are not as warm as you might think. They make a lobster guide glove i own as well for colder days, recommend that as well.

Best gloves I’ve ever owned!

I've used it several times

Large

I bought these a month ago when they first went on sale. They were an absolute steal! The quality is incredible and my hands are warm all day!

Legit ski gloves

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Size Bought:

Large

I got these for over 50% off and only wore them on one cold day in April so I can't say if they will withstand super cold temps and seasons of skiing and worth full retail price. However, they were warm that day and seem like a great pair of gloves. MUCH better than Hestra's. That brand is highly overrated and not worth the hefty prices. Regarding sizing, they are a bit on the smaller side. I bought a Large(my normal size) and an XL and I still went with a Large hoping they would stretch a little. The XL's could have worked but I felt I lost a little dexterity in them.

Excellent Glove

XL

The XL fit perfectly, I chose one size larger because I take the glove off and on at the ski area. I like the internal liner with Gore-Tex; easy to dry after a day of snowboarding. Gloves came with NikWax Creme Waterproofing Wax for Leather.

My second pair in 20 yrs

XL

My old BD gloves of 20 yrs are finally wearing through. They kept my hands perfect at -20 on Denali and have served me well as a XC ski track groomer. The new ones I just got for a killer deal thru BC look even better. Wow. These should last for another 20. Thanks BD and BC. You guys are awesome! I switched from L to XL because a glove like this should not be snug.

Perfect fit, 100% high end item

I bought them online, fit perfectly, and have an internal liner but can use another liner as well. very flexible and slow movements to grab the ice axe.

Perfect for the mid-major mtns

These are now my go to gloves for everything but the most extreme conditions. Warm with all the dexterity to hand poles, ropes and ice axes.

Great Ski Patrol gloves.

I just bought a new pair to replace my old ones. I got two years of use out of them, which is great for full time Ski Patrol usage. Also easy on and off, to accomplish our many tasks, thanks to the gauntlet design.

Powerfully warm…

…& comfy for the coldest of days. Supple leather. Excellent product.

Looks and feels really good

Although, I really like the quality feel and the professional look, and definitely the good price. Unfortunately, I want be able to really test them in cold weather prehaps until next winter. However, if old man winter returns with some Siberian Polar Vortex temperatures, I will definitely comment on my experience.
