These Dakine snowboard and alpine ski gloves are designed to provide maximum protection for your wrists and hands when hitting the slopes. With removable rigid nylon plates in the backhand and palm, they help minimize the impact from falls and wipeouts. The Wristguard Gloves feature a durable outer shell made from polyester and goat leather, and are enhanced with a DK DRY™ waterproof insert to keep your hands dry even in harsh weather conditions.
The gloves are well-insulated with high loft synthetic insulation to keep your hands warm on cold days. They also have a range of features for added convenience and adjustability, including a bottom cord for a secure fit, a one-hand cinch gauntlet, and an adjustable hook-and-loop wrist strap. These versatile gloves are suitable for both men and women and can be used for various activities, including skiing, snowboarding, and everyday wear.
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.
