Rome builds snowboards from the perspective of the 100-day-a-season rider. Any one who rides that often knows what they want. Rome knows that they want to use input from their team, shop kids and the Design House to create boards that fit the way that they like to play in the snow. A combination of creativity and proven technology is used to make boards that will inspire riders to progress every time they strap in.

Steezy, but quality could be better...   12-16-07
amadeus303 (3): rating
First, the pros... these gloves look dope. The first day, I actually got a few compliments up on the hill from several shredders as we were all strapping in. When I capped the day off at the resort's watering hole, 1 bloke actually picked my gloves up off the bar, and asked where I got them, if he could try them on, etc. From a function standpoint, the Hoss has great flexibility and dexterity. Getting into my bindings, unzipping my pit vents, etc. was a breeze --- it didn't feel like I was wearing pillows on my hands. The cons? After 1 hour of boarding, the graphics on the palm were peeling off... and not little bits here and there. Full "checkers" from the checkerboard pattern were literally falling off --- imagine putting a post-it note on a frozen plastic bottle of water, and you get the picture. When I trekked up to a part of the resort where there was no lift, I carried my board all the way up. After a minute or so, my hands felt like they were on the verge of frostbite. It was as if I was holding snow in my bare hands. When I got home from the hill, I noticed that my gloves were holding a lot of water. The moisture didn't penetrate into the lining or anything, but they felt pretty heavy. The long and short... great looking gloves, great "5 finger freedom", flimsy palm graphics, limited cold insulation, and expensive. I consider myself a huge Rome fan, but IMO, these just aren't worth the money.

good leather mid-temp glove   05-13-08
Beerfriday Mike (11): rating
Agree on the silicon wearing off quickly, but it is just for looks anyways...In this glove you are paying for the leather (not the insulation) I would recommend it from 15 to 30 degrees (F). Definitely thinner than the LT's, but not quite a lightweight glove (like the bushwood)...(I generally will hike in a lightweight glove and put this on after hiking; so surprised the other reviewer didn't find in warm enough during the hike)

Hoss is the Boss   02-20-08
aunertl (4): rating
These gloves are absolutely worth the price. I've used these over in temps below zero and still had comfortable fingers. In the spring the glove was sometimes too warm even when it was soaked. I normally wear an XL and that's what I ordered (Perfect fit). the leather gets very soft after a couple wears.
