As a British snowboarder I am always happy to see snowboard specific gear that is made in our green and pleasant land. So I am pleased to be introducing G’Love snowboarding gloves by Love Inc. 
Of course us snowboarders can wear ordinary ski gloves, but as most boarders have realised they often do not stand the test of time. Personally I find the palms and fingertips tend to be the main area of weakness.
Skiers with the same gloves don’t seem to have the same problems, which begs the question why? Perhaps it is from carrying the board, repeatably doing up bindings or using our hands to help slow an out of control ass or tummy slide on an icy piste…..
Whatever the reason we need more strength in key places if we want gloves to last. Love inc. understand this which is why they have developed G’Love snowboarding gloves.

Introducing G’Love snowboarding gloves
Onto the main event – introducing G’Love snowboarding gloves. They are hand made in the uk using mainly British materials. So by purchasing the G’Love gloves you get great gear, and help keep money in the British economy.
The outer material is 100% leather. There are many reasons most French ski instructors wear leather gloves – it is hard wearing, waterproof, warm, supple and natural. These qualities make leather the perfect glove material for us shredders.
Back to the aforementioned points of weakness due to carrying your board, doing up bindings and trying to stop an out of control slide. Love Inc. have addressed these with reinforced palms and fingertips on the G’Love snowboarding gloves. The leather also wraps around the fingers so there is no weak point.
So that you can actually use your fingers the knuckles are gaitered. This gives you better dexterity and more flexibility when wearing the gloves.
To keep you hands warm and dry there is a PU membrane that’s both wind and waterproof, while allowing moisture to escape. The liner is sewn into the fingertips, so inners coming out due to sweaty hands is a thing of the past.
For practicality the G’Love snowboarding gloves come complete with a snow cuff to stop pesky getting into your gloves. They also have a handy carry strap, so you don’t lose your gloves when you take them off on the lift etc.
