KincoPremium Ski Gloves

I got these gloves before going skiing for the first time. I have really bad body temperature regulation (with my fingers/toes almost always becoming cold no matter the temperature) so it was important for me to find a good pair of gloves. After doing some research online I found these gloves highly recommended by the skiing community and decided to give them a try. They did not disappoint! They kept my hands warm all throughout the day and blocked out water/snow. At the end of the day I even got a compliment for the gloves from another skier. It's a good thing he didn't see me ski because I was on the ground 90% of the time lol.

My ski gloves always wear very quickly, and the seams at the fingers in particular split open and I tape them back together to last through the season. So I did a bit of research to find the toughest ski gloves available, and was prepared to make an investment in some really expensive gloves that would last a long time.Well, after searching around and seeing videos and comments on these very inexpensive Kinco gloves (basically 1/8 the price I thought I would pay for high end durable ski gloves) I figured why not try them out.These gloves are super durable, made entirely of leather - I think a combo of pigskin and maybe some cow hide. I also bought some Sno Seal to water proof them and went through the whole process of heating the gloves in the oven, slathering with the sno seal, putting back in the oven to get it absorbed, multiple times.And the result: Holy cow (or I guess in this case holy pig?) I paid about $26 for an super durable, totally waterproof, warm pair of Gloves that are great for skiing. The only downsides I can mention are the fingers are a little stiff, the medium size I bought are a little on the large side, and the cuff in these don’t extend as far down as most ski gloves. But I have to say I’m very happy with these and recommend them.I’ll be taking these on my annual heli ski trip in Canada and my fancy, gear-head friends will definitely get a good chuckle, but I’ll convince them all to get a pair.

These are the ultimate ski glove, but not super warm for cold and wet days. I wore these at Vail today, on April, 15 and my fingers were a little cold at the tips on the chair. I know not everyone runs the same temperature, so your experience may differ from mine. Aside from that, it wasn't unbearable and I didn't notice once I got moving. It was dumping snow with no sun either, so I'm sure that was a factor. My hands stayed bone dry and without much sno Seal. They are made extremely well, and would say they are the best value for the $ of any single piece of gear I have. I would recommend these for warmer days, or people who run hot. I have the mitt version and will be using on powder days and colder days. It's good to have a quiver! Go out and get a pair, for the money they are not even an afterthought. They run a full size big, so size down one.

Okay, so I need to start off that I recently bought a pair of cowhide, lined, all purpose winter gloves that I saw on A popular online retailer known for selling unique durable urban/outdoor goods and apparel, but directly from the manufacturer and they were crap. By crap I mean I spent $50 on them when I probably could have got a better quality leather glove from the hardware store for $10. I saw the great reviews for these Kinco gloves, so I thought I would give it another shot, but at HALF the cost! I'm definitely not disappointed in this purchase. The look and the quality of construction is top notch. I just received them, so I cannot attest to their durability, but from trying them on I feel like you could put these through hell and back again just to break them in. They would be perfect for daily winter sport or work gloves. My hand size at 9.5 would usually call for a LARGE, however after reading other reviews that these gloves run on the larger size, I decided to size down to a medium for extra dexterity and they fit perfectly! The inner lining feels very warm, comfy, and durable, like it will hold up very well after daily use. I used my own waterproofing agent that I use on my red wing iron Rangers that I highly recommend (Nor-V-Gen) as the first coat of water proofing and will use the included Nikwax on top of that. I'm a pretty picky online shopper and I hate being disappointed in the sizing or quality of a product when I do all of the research in advance and the product still doesn't meet anticipated standards. I work hard for my moolah and when I can get a top notch quality product that will last, that's better than the competion, yet at bargain basement prices compared to the competition, that's what I call good customer value! If these ever wear out I will definitely be back to buy another pair. I think I'm going to buy the mittens next though....Best advice: go down one size from what you usually wear!I gave 4/5 stars because I thought the gloves would be all yellow/natural throughout, but it appears that there are two tones of leather, yellow and and grayish/brown on the palm patches and backs of the gloves. Still looks good and not that big of a deal to me (see pictures).
