The Burton Women's Pipe Glove gives you what you need for the terrain park. A combination of synthetic Clarino suede and stretch neoprene makes the Pipe Glove water-resistant enough to take on winter fluff and spring slush. Burton's low-profile design gives you lots of dexterity, and the Sticky Icky palms let you tweak out and stick that grab. - Fall 2008.
These gloves are definitely fun and get compliments. But, they get soaked the minute they make contact with snow. It might be tolerable during the warm spring days, but don't even think about wearing them in cold weather! In any case, nice look, nice fit, water resistant-not so much.
I got a pair of the white gloves, hilarious design, got lots of compliments. Great for riding pipe cause that's what they were made for. Just cause they're cute doesn't mean you should buy them for casual riding because they WILL get wet and the material will get all funky. Not as much "sticky" on the palms as I thought there would be on the white ones, but keeps the fingers warm, and totally functional and cute!
I have used them for cold weather bike riding, snowshoeing, tele skiing.. they keep out the wind and the wet really well! My fingers get cold below 15 degrees in these gloves.. but no gloves keep my fingers warm in that cold!
