Level Half Pipe GTX Snowboard Protective Gloves with GoreTex Shell, BioMex Integrated Wrist Guards, ThermoPlus Liner (Black, Medium (8.0in))

These offer the BEST WRIST PROTECTION FOR SNOWBOARDERS! I have researched the field and have found that these gloves contain the most advanced and most actively studied form of wrist protection for snowboarders. Best yet, this wrist protection is built-on so it can't be forgotten. The gloves are still very comfortable and keep hands warm and dry on the mountain. I can't recommend these highly enough for any snowboarder (or their parents...;-)!

It performs great very flexible however stitches in palm and finger tips gets ripped after few wears had to get it fixed several times. The insulation is ok but if you are going for an all day skitrip you may have to keep your hands moving as you fingers gets cold.

These gloves are comfortable and very warm. The impact resistant insert protects the wrists well. If the insert comes out, it can be a bit of a puzzle putting it back in correctly.

Just learning how to get into the terrain park and landed on my wrist a few times and didn't feel a thing.

Bought them for my son, he snowboards. I noticed immediatlty the high quality construction. My son love them, confirming the quality and said they were very warm and flexible. I would recommend these gloves.

I purchased my gloves direct from Level as Amazon was out of stock at the time that I purchased.I previously purchased Level Fly gloves, and used them for about 4 years until the plastic bits rotted and the elastic in the cuffs stretched out. Four years seemed like a decent lifespan with 10-20 days per winter riding, so I gave Level another shot. Pretty disappointed, here is why.Overall Pros - Very warm, almost too warm for temps higher than 20 deg. F. Take out the inners or have sweaty hands. Redesign on the new inner brace seems better than the older version from my previous gloves.Cons - there are many. Material durability - after only 7 days of riding I am noticing stitching coming loose on the fingers as well as the logo stitching - need to keep an eye on this. Cuff elastic - the retention on the cuff elastic simply does not work at all. The elastic releases tension from the clip immediately, there is no retention whatsoever...and you end up with a glove full of snow every run. Also, the elastic cord pulled through one of the plastic end pieces that you grip and I had to repair it. Cuffs are also shorter than the Fly model, though this may be a design choice by Level. Vent placement - vent placement is now moved out towards the outside of the hand (pinkie finger) and this results in that part of the hand being colder than the rest...old design was better with the vent more centered. Cold weather performance - remember how I said earlier that the gloves are very warm - well, oddly, if the weather drops below 10 deg. F, the cold seeps through the fingers pretty well. I was surprised at this considering how warm the gloves are otherwise.Finally, I emailed Level about the elastic closures for the cuffs, as that's a deal breaker for me - no response after 5 days. I will update with Level's response.Overall, this model is not recommended.

I love the Level wrist protection and I have been using Level gloves for more than 10 years. But this model has a terrible design flaw: the outside material on the finger section is way too fragile. After using these gloves for 6 to 8 days on the slope and in the park, the fabric on the finger section was ripped and pieces came off. I had to return them and hope Level will send me back another model. If you don't touch the edges of your snowboard, I guess the gloves would be fine, but if you grab or carry your board without a bag, they won't last long.
