These Dakine snowboard and alpine ski gloves are crafted to offer optimal protection for your wrists and hands while on the slopes. Outfitted with removable rigid nylon plates in the backhand and palm, they help diminish the impact from falls and accidents. The Wristguard Gloves boast a resilient outer shell composed of polyester and goat leather, and include a DK DRY™ waterproof insert to maintain dryness, even in challenging weather conditions.
The gloves feature excellent insulation due to high loft synthetic materials, ensuring warmth on frigid days. They also come equipped with a host of features for enhanced convenience and adjustability, such as a bottom cord for a snug fit, a one-hand cinch gauntlet, and an adjustable hook-and-loop wrist strap. These adaptable gloves cater to both men and women and are suitable for various activities like skiing, snowboarding, and daily use.
James MayLondon, United KingdomVerified Buyer5 of 5Feel greatArkadiusz NocońRuda Śląska, PolandVerified Buyer5 of 5Awesome 👍Lars HenningsenBagsværd, DenmarkVerified Buyer4 of 5I previously ordered Dakine wrist guards, which, according to the product description, should fit inside ski gloves. They definitely do not; you can hardly squeeze the gloves on.
When I contacted Skatepro about an alternative that would fit better in gloves, e.g. Burton, which primarily makes ski equipment, they referred me to the same Dakine gloves that we had just returned. It seemed as if they knew nothing about their products beyond the product description already available online. They didn't even refer to the gloves now being reviewed, which they only got in stock later.
The gloves work quite well, they are reasonably comfortable, don't bother you too much, and allow for reasonable freedom of movement. They work well for snowboarding, providing good protection for the wrist bones, but not so much for the ulna and radius bones. They are of good quality with nice details, reasonably warm, and waterproof.
A size chart is missing and can be found on other websites.
