Pow Tonic Glove Review

liner black
$49
 The Pow Tonic Glove is well made, has great waterprofing and pretty durable for the price.   Here are the minor drawbacks.  The glove runs very small.  The large is very much like a medium.  The Tonic does not go very far up the wrist which could be good or bad.  We aren't too stoked on this.  However the bennefits of this glove far out weigh the drawbacks.  Just order one size bigger and you will still have a snug fitting serously waterproofed glove for most moderate temps.  It's also cheaper than almost any glove that gives you this much waterproofing for a park/spring glove.  If it wasn't for the slightly akward fit the Tonic would be A Good Ride Favorite.

The Good Ride Take


A few other things.......
These gloves look pretty sturdy for the price....especially around the fingers.  They can handle a little rubbing of snow off your bindings to get your boots on .  They are also not represented well in the picks.  The gloves labled black are actually black and grey.  The other gloves are what they say they are but the black gloves arent.  Another interesting thing about these gloves is they have a piece of material stitched in between the thumb and index finger that seems to restrict your movement but we actually like this.   These gloves are also tight around the wrist when it comes to getting your hands in and out but they are also tight around the wrist when they are on.     The silicone grip for 2010 covers more than 50% of the palm and the rest of the material is very stretchy and smooth. 

All in all these are our choice for spring/warm weather gloves. 

The Good Ride Take on POW Gloves
The Good Ride’s Favorite Glove Company!

We feel that POW is really on top of their game right now and makes some of the best gloves in the industry at a very fair price.   POW is still small and well managed and that we feel is one of the reasons they are doing so well.  From what we can tell there are 3 things that make their gloves better than the rest.
1.  Their very smooth lining that allows your hands to get in and out of no matter how wet. 
2.  Their exceptional waterproofing.  Their high end gloves have an insert called Hipora that is comparable to Gore-Tex and offers 20K waterproofing/breathability.
3.  They make gloves that fit well and last a long time. 
If you are looking for gloves then go over the POW line and find what works for you.   You won’t be disappointed and will save money.
