Description of Burton White Collection Glove - Men's:
Shaun White designed his signature Burton White Collection Glove with the dexterity and warmth essential to riders who chase the dream with a vengeance. As stylish, purposeful, and understated as the man himself, the White collection glove features a Rodeo Leather Stretch Shell with a waterproof, breathable Insane Membrane insert and pistol grip finger design. The pre-curved fingers and suppleness of the shell give you dexterity and grip, allowing you to grab and tweak with confidence. When powder turns outnumber park hits, Thermacore insulation and a fixed 220g fleece lining offer outstanding warmth. *Not available for shipment outside the US. - Fall 2008.
Bottom Line: Riding like Shaun is near to impossible. Getting his gloves is not.
Not the warmest gloves out there, but still surpringly warm for their low profile size. They're perfect for what they're designed to do, provide you with low profile dexterity so you can get your grabs down.
First off leather gloves need to be taken care of. You will need to wax these gloves so they don't get soaked on you. Also they black color comes off on things. For example if you grab a tissue after boarding you'll see black in the tissue.
At 13 - 18 degrees F sitting still my fingers are frozen and when moving not so bad, then again I don't notice my hands. at 30 degrees F fingers are pretty warm. Any higher temps your hands are sweating.
The inner liner fleece is nice but annoying if it comes out. You have to hold your fingers and pull your hand out to make sure the liner stays inside. Glove is nice and low profile and the tips are curved naturally.
The glove to begin with is stiff but once you break it in, it feels awesome! Better than the new feeling.
If you have tiny bones the glove doesn't get tight around your wrist. The clip only has 2 settings to tighten.
The glove doesn't cover too far behind your wrist so snow can still get in there. Nothing to clamp it down on your gaitor for your jacket.
Easy to grab the board and onto objects.
I bought these Sean White gloves for the Spring Season and they were great for that. I went up to SLC and one of the days was abominable snowman cold and I forgot my mittens so I threw on the Burton White's and they still kept my feelers warm. They work much better for feel than a mitten. I recomend these warlocks to anyone who wants to scratch it instead of pat it.
