Dakine WranglerThe new DaKineWrangler gloves feature soft Durafuse leather to protect your hands and Primaloft insulation to keep them toasty. I originally picked these gloves up as more of a hiking and everyday utility glove rather than a cold weather, every day resort glove. So far I've used them more than any other glove in my quiver this year and am loving them. Granted they aren't my go to glove for when it is minus fricken cold, but they hold up and are comfortable for 80-90% of the days I'm out.

Number of days of use: 40-50 days
Sizing: Fit like a glove!
Pros: Warm, wind proof, quick drying, low profile and stylish, really like the supple feel of the leather palms
Cons: not 100% waterproof, shorter cuff
Best Use: ski touring and cooler days shredding the lift, the grip they provide is good enough for sledding also
Bottom Line: I dig these gloves for times that the conditions are not too extreme. I'd highly recommend these gloves

In our very first installment of 'The Gear We Use', Trevor Gavura from Kicking Horse Gear Exchange introduces us to a new ski manufacturer from Colorado. Skilogik has come onto the ski making scene with some very aesthetic looking sticks for both piste and off-piste skiing. Specifically we will be testing the Howitzer as a back-country touring ski.
