Burton AK Oven Mitt Glove Review


{boxId:"compareVarAttrValueID221139",varAttrValueID:"617"}
$129
Warm and thick!  Worth the price?  We aren't sure.  The Oven Mit is for the rider that has hand issues and just can't seem to keep warm.  Burton has a glove for just about anyone and that is good and bad.  Some gloves are amazing and some aren't as well thought out.  This has been in their line for a long long time so they have taken time to make it better.  The Goose Down is just about as warm as it gets and combined with primaloft insulation this is about as good as it gets when it comes to a snowboard glove.

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.

The Good Ride Take on Burton

Burton is huge. They have developed or acquired most of the technology that we use today. Burton is one of the only companies that can provide you with everything you need to snowboard from boards to beanies.  Burton even owns arguably the best surfboard company Channel Islands because Jake likes to surf.  They are like the Yankees of snowboarding because they can always outspend their competition to win.

The positives-Burton provides more products for each gear/clothing/accessory category than any other company.  Burton has possibly the best customer service in the snowboarding industry.  Burton continuously spends more money than almost any company to develop new tech or just make what they have better.   Burton sponsors more pro’s and get’s more high level user feed back than any other company.  They have some of the best boots, bindings and boards in the industry.  They also have great clothing.

The Negatives- Because Burton spends so much money on sponsorship and tech they have to pass this cost along to the products they sell.   They relentlessly continue to jack up the prices every year.  You are almost always going to get a good product from Burton’s higher end line but some mid to low level products don’t stack up to the competition in the same price range.   Just remember it’s not always good because it hast the Burton label on it.

Company Info

By combining the collective heating power of Triple Goose Down, 15 oz. of PrimaLoft® Insulation, and a Hydrofil™ wicking fleece liner, the Burton [ak]™ Oven Undermitt is basically the warmest snowboard glove in the entire universe. Like a space heater for your hands, the Oven Mitt fights moisture on both fronts thanks to the ultra-breathable, Guaranteed To Keep You Dry™ GORE-TEX® ripstop fabric. And so you don’t feel like you’re wearing boxing gloves, a super ergonomic construction ensure total dexterity when strapping in, shoveling, or throwing bones in the liftline.
Featured
  • Pistol Grip Pre-Curved Fit

    Every single glove and mitt we make features our Pistol Grip Pre-Curved Fit. The superior dexterity of this articulated fit means your hands will always be warm and nimble no matter what kind of action you get into.

Insulation
  • Primaloft Insulation

    Originally developed for cold war military combat, PrimaLoft’s extremely lightweight core structure suspends millions of air particles in a microfiber mesh. These microscopic air particles repel water while trapping heat to keep you warm in the nastiest conditions, even after repeated washings.
