ToddF Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I have over 430 sets on a single pair of these gloves. (they are pretty hammered now) The best I have ever gotten with any other gloves was about 150 plus or minus. Any other gloves out there close to that.

Baller webbdawg99 Posted June 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2013 Straight Line Classic Kevlar gloves are very similar to the K-Palm. They are extremely durable but harder to find. I just switched from the classics to the K-Palms bc I couldn't find any classics to replace my old ones. I ski 4-8 sets a week for about 7 months of the year. My last pair of SL classic gloves lasted me more than 2 seasons. So far, I'm happy with how the K-palms have held up. I was skeptical that there was another pair of gloves out there as durable as the SL classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skihacker Posted June 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2013 I used classics for a long time, a few seasons back bought a new pair and they seemed to have changed a bit. They didn't fit worth a darn and i destroyed them within 50 sets, went to the k-palms and have been pretty happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted June 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2013 Does the small Velcro stap across the top of the hand stay velcro'd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skihacker Posted June 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2013 Not always, doesn't really bother me while skiing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted June 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks thats helpful. it would be nice to not have to restrap at the end of every pass which I do now on my 41 Tails...great gloves, just one flaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller webbdawg99 Posted June 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2013 I don't undo the strap on the rear.....so I have no issues with it coming undone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted June 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2013 I have found the Masterline ProLocks to be very durable. I don't know how many sets I have in them but I am into 3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted June 12, 2013 Supporting Member Share Posted June 12, 2013 @Texas6 Yeah that's weird how the strap velcro on the 41 Tails seems to stop working very well LONG before the rest of the glove gives out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Marco Posted June 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2013 I like the 41 tails for durability as well, but the strap is also too short. I have to re-thread it through the buckle every time I put them on. Its a PITA when you have to do the second hand with one glove on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Andre Posted June 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2013 Todd Are they the blue and gray or only gray and black style Had 3 seasons of 150 sets on a blue pair. Now with the newer gray ones,it s 2 pairs for a season. The kevlar is definitely not as good as before... My ski finish in 16.95 but my ass is out of tolerance!

Baller A_B Posted June 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2013 I have never liked Kevlar gloves until I tried the 41 Tails. I am a convert. Bought 2 pairs online at $29.95 each (black ones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Marco Posted June 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2013 @AB What is the difference between the black and red ones? I just paid north of 50 bucks for a new pair of red ones from a pro shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller gregy Posted June 12, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 12, 2013 New set of 41tails have 3 days of skiing them and the palm velcro coming loose already. I think I'll try the Radar Boas next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted June 13, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 13, 2013 I have no idea. First time trying them after reading everyone talking them up. They are a softer Kevlar and much grippier than other kevlars I have tried, even after roughing them up. Note - I have always been an Amara man, and when Moto Gloves were available,,they were my favorite. The site I bought from only had XXL though.

Baller Texas6 Posted June 13, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 13, 2013 What is the consensus on the Radar Boas? Intrigued by the design but it seems apt to break at first glance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski6jones Posted June 13, 2013 Baller Share Posted June 13, 2013 @Texas6, ask Woody. He's been using them for about a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogoW Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Boa's are the bomb. Feel broken in when new. 6 weeks into my first pair skiing 10 sets per week. No issues. Suggest cotton/Kevlar liner underneath. Remember to go up one size of glove to accomdate the liner. I wear large liner with XL BOA glove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
