These Dakine snowboard and alpine ski gloves are crafted to offer optimum protection for your wrists and hands while you're on the slopes. Equipped with detachable rigid nylon plates at the backhand and palm, they work to reduce the impact from falls and wipeouts. The Wristguard Gloves are constructed with a resilient outer shell, combining polyester and goat leather, and are further reinforced with a DK DRY™ waterproof insert to ensure your hands stay dry, even in severe weather conditions.
Insulated with well-formulated high loft synthetic material, these gloves are designed to keep your hands warm during frigid days. They come with a variety of features for added comfort and customization, including a lower cord for a snug fit, a one-hand cinch gauntlet, and an adjustable hook-and-loop wrist strap. These adaptable gloves are suitable for both men and women and are ideal for a range of activities such as skiing, snowboarding, and everyday 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.
