Celtek Aaron Bittner Kingpin Snowboard Glove Review

$69

This is a decent Cool to Warm Weather Glove for most people.  These are a bit tight fitting so you can go for a snug fit in your normal size or go for a size up to have a more catch free feel.  The Celtek Aaron Bittner glove doesn't really have nose wipes but the top of the glove is soft enough to handle your nose if you can't blow it out.  It's not like the SNAP's on other gloves but it will do in a pinch.  Celtek has slipped the last few years in terms of quality of construction but the Aaron Bittner model is still a pretty decent glove for the price and waterproofing you receive.

The Good Ride Take

The fit ts tight but doesn't feel cramped. It's almost as good as the Rome Bushwood in terms of good finger dexterity but a wee bit different. Despite the way some of the pics look this has a very sticky/waterproof silicone palm. Most of the picks make it look like there is cloth on the palm instead of silicon. Inside has one of the most comfortable liners out there. Eco Fleece rocks! There is some neoprene used in this glove on the knuckles and wrist which will take on water but It won't get through the 20K waterproof insert. Some can wear it in cooler conditions but it reaches its limit after it starts to get into the low 30's. The only draw back about the gloves is no room is available for even the smallest of liners. The only other draw back is the nose wipe is tiny. It's softer than most nose wipes but very small. This is not a one glove solution but it will be an excellent choice for most of your day's on the hill.

These gloves are amazing. I've never really trusted thin gloves but I can vouch for these guys, at least for any temp at or above about 20. I'm not sure how they'd hold up for anything below that. The rubber palms came in handy. Also I noticed that my dexterity didn't decrease while wearing these, I could do anything in these gloves, and I do mean anything.
