The first and only gloves I needed all day long. That includes ski approach, dry tooling, ice climbing, rappelling, belaying and skiing out. Oh and shoveling driveway in the morning :) All in temps 15-25F. They were a little tough for dry tooling and quick clipping, but this will get only better with use.Tomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451317751031900528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-55379906195631234652012-12-13T21:32:02.307-08:002012-12-13T21:32:02.307-08:00The one hitch, and I learned this the hard way is ...The one hitch, and I learned this the hard way is that Snowseal smells like ass when you put it in your oven. I hung mine 12 inches or so in front of a wood stove that was going pretty good until the gloves were steaming. This, or the oven may do the trick, especially when your significant other/roommate is not home. The other thing I've noticed, is I've had way more luck out of a beat up soft shell glove in terms of breathability compared to the Kinko/Flylow glove. Of course it could be different for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-13177627237988792962012-12-13T14:14:29.564-08:002012-12-13T14:14:29.564-08:00I purchased a couple pairs of the flyflow gloves a...I purchased a couple pairs of the flyflow gloves a month or two ago. After multiple people told me they are hands down the best gloves they have ever had. At this point i have only climbed in them once. I will say i think i may be a convert as i was very very happy with both styles. <br /><br />They are inexpensive by comparison, warm and fairly dexterous. I will be interested to see how they last. So long as they stay $40 or less i am fine if i get half season out of a pair. As far as being waterproof imop just about any leather glove i have ever used gets a coat of SnowSeal just about every time i head out.<br /><br />I would imagine like 220 or so in the oven for 10-20 minutes would do the trick for baking the SnowSeal in?PurpleJesus1994https://www.blogger.com/profile/07673195378805844243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-5467923995166945202012-12-13T09:45:31.156-08:002012-12-13T09:45:31.156-08:00How exactly do you 'bake in' snowseal?How exactly do you 'bake in' snowseal?gimmeslacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-26454637152710324152012-12-12T15:00:16.785-08:002012-12-12T15:00:16.785-08:00I have used the make your own version for several ...I have used the make your own version for several years now.

The trick I've found is to really bake them with Snowseal, rather than just rubbing it in. I did just migrate from Colorado so I'm a little curious how they hold up here. I'd really recommend you pick up a thing of Snowseal for keeping up on treating the gloves. They start getting a little funky as the Snowseal wears off. These are the gloves I have. <br /><br />http://www.gemplers.com/product/22760/Kinco-Gloves-Pigskin-Insulated-Knit-WristAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-24652659932368950042012-12-12T09:40:40.053-08:002012-12-12T09:40:40.053-08:00Dude, you really need to read the ENTIRE post befo...Dude, you really need to read the ENTIRE post before commenting. I didn't find this specific full leather model on Kinco's web site. No doubt Kinco makes them though. I did find the fabric version. $26 for a do it yourself job or $30 from FliLow and pre waxed for you. A penny saved and all.<br /><br />Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300760603627210620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-79877932018380263112012-12-12T04:38:31.516-08:002012-12-12T04:38:31.516-08:00These gloves are made by Kinco.
