sportnoob Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) I tend to wear lightweight softshell gloves the most commonly (like the OR Vert or OR Stormtracker) around here when it's cooler out. I also tend to wear a windshirt that has stretchy cuffs that are narrow (BD Alpine Start). The junction of the 'velcro - closure' of these style gloves is annoying vis-a-vis the tapered stretchy cuff. Skin is always exposed, it pushes the stretchy cuff up, I find it annoying to stretch the cuff out over the wrist closure, in general it's just sand in my vag. What I think I want is a glove of a similar weight as the OR Vert or Stormtracker, but with a gauntlet instead of an 'undercuff' design. I have come up short looking around. Maybe there's a good reason why such a design isn't popular (and that reason just escapes me)? Any suggestions? Maybe I just need to HTFU?

iceclimber Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 A pair of the original MH Hydra gloves might fit the bill. The Hydra Pro that replaced them had slightly different (worse for me) fit and I can't speak to what the current generation of Hydra glove is like.

Buckaroo Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I think you want the O.R. Arete. A lightweight gortex with a gauntlet and a drawstring. I hope they still make them because they really stay dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
