|
I have a pair od dakine mitts with the thin grip material on the palm side. (not open palm). I like these alot...but is there something else out there similar ?
what other mitts are good...(minimal material on palm side..or stretchy)
My dakines are falling apart...if there is nothing out there i will get the same ones. |

As far as mitts go - I think the dakine are the best with the leather palms. They last the longest for me. NRS makes a wide variety of kayak gloves and mitts - check out their "Toaster Mitt". I purchased a pair of their pre-curved gloves for windsurfing a few years back but they are still a little too stiff for holding onto the boom (forearm fatigue sets in). Excellent quality gear however.

| I've searched a bit and didn't find alternatives either to the Dakine. They work well for me anyway. |

At almost $10,000.00 I think they are a bit pricey. And it does not clearly indicate if that is for one or for a pair....
MSRP
$9999.00

I use the DaKines when it's super cold, but Neil Pryde makes some with a cut-out palm which allows normal boom feel, and still keeps you warm.
Much more fun to sail with....exposed palm, but your fingers stay warm

You're here in New England, aren't you? They keep your hands warm through winter? |
