Burton AK Yeti Glove Review

TRUBK
$139
It's alot for a glove but it's really well made.  Dont get this if you are looking for ultra warm.  Get this if you want a Snowboard glove that is made similar to the high end skiier gloves like Hestra but much more snowboard friendly.  You are paying a lot for contour and feel.  Is this an amazing glove?  Yes but it's very hard to rationalize this purchase.

The Good Ride Take

The Good Ride's Take on Leather- Leather is very comfortable, very resistant to cuts when you grab a rail and very form fitting.  The biggest issue we have with leather is how wet it can get.  Now with so many good water proof inserts that have up to or more than 20K waterproofing it will not soak all the way through to your hands if you buy the high end gloves.  Once leather is soaked it doesn’t dry as fast as other materials out there.  So if you ride in dry weather and have little interaction with the snow you will enjoy the positives of owning a leather glove.    If you live in wet weather then you might want to consider other materials or try to keep the leather to a minimum.

Company Info

Cold and wet, a Yeti’s natural habitat is not the most hospitable place. Driving snow and howling wind is the norm deep in the mountains where this mystical beast resides. When designing the Burton [ak]™ Yeti Glove, we had to make sure that this wooly fleece-lined glove could live up to the meanest conditions, while remaining dexterous enough to not hinder hunting and foraging (or strapping in and shoveling). To combat the elements we used Guaranteed To Keep You Dry™ GORE-TEX® fabric, and NEW GORE® XTRAFIT Technology, which keeps the liner from pulling out when taking your hand out of the glove. Originally developed for pro football players, the Pittards® Oiltac Leather Palm offers unstoppable grabbing power through a unique polymer structure that maintains a reservoir within the leather that continuously replenishes grip.

  • New Gore XTRAFIT Technology

    NEW GORE® XTRAFIT insert technology prevents annoying liner pullout when removing your hand from your glove. This innovative internal wizardry utilizes the grip of a directional fiber lining between the backside of the glove’s shell fabric and the outside of the inner lining to keep everything locked in place.
