@perfski have em?

[wawaskr]

Looks real similar to an HO Tail 41. What does the thumb look like?

[Chef23]

@aupatking they are on the Performance web site.

How do they compare on thickness to the 41 tails? I had a pair of 41 tails I loved and then the next pair I bought seemed to not fit the same. I got some different HOngloves that weren’t Kevlar but they fit great but I blew threw them pretty quick.

[unksskis]

Definitely look worth trying out, but I don't jump with kevlar palms. Do top jumpers prefer Kevlar palms? Are these thinner than most other Kevlar palms?

[Horton]

@unksskis why not jump with Kevlar?

[unksskis]

Feel more locked in, connected to the handle. Guess in my mind the more you feel the more you're able to react, and I don't want anything slipping while hauling into the ramp. Kevlar to me is for durability, things like slalom where you're re-grabbing the handle more frequently and at different positions, however I don't prefer Kevlar for slalom either. I can be a rare case, that's why it would be interesting to see if/what top jumpers use them. Likely all just personal preference, definitely want to try out the Stealth gloves regardless.

[Horton]

I have a few rides with the Stealth gloves and so far they are great.

[perfski]

We just got some more in stock...have sold VERY well...no returns / warranties! Which is always great! http://www.perfski.com/stealth-gloves-by-ryan-dodd.html

 

[Horton]

I really do not do glove reviews but if you are looking for a thinner palmed kevlar glove you are going to love the Stealth.

[MarkM]

I just got a pair and the are very nice. They are similar to 41 tails but fit a bit better.

The only negative is that they do not have a pull tab down by the wrist. So i removed a pull tab from some old 41 tails and sewed them on to the Stealths, much better.

Update:

 

I have been wearing the same pair of stealth gloves for approximately 200 slalom rides and they are still going strong.

[skihart]

I have been using mine all summer and they have been great. They could use a small tab on the inside at the wrist to make it easier to put them on but other than that fantastic. Great price as well.

[albertabrad]

Used a pair of stealth gloves this season and thought they were great. Held up well and comfortable.

[Deanoski]

@MarkM @Horton so If I wear a tail wind 41 size med are stealth gloves sized the same?

[andjules]

I'm really enjoying mine as well.

For any Canucks here, they were also the cheapest pro-level glove I could find from any Canadian shop (I bought from Shuswap).

[DaveD]

Any chance Ryan will be offering a non-kevlar version?

[RampDodd]

I am glad to hear the positive reviews, a lot of time was spent testing before we offered them to the market.

 

I set out to design a glove that was simple and effective in design. Nothing to flashy, just the essentials. The focus has been on comfort, ease of grip, durability and style. We wanted a glove that can be trusted at the base of the ramp when it matters most, but also handle the demands of hardcore slalom.

 

We have now some smaller sizes designed for Kids and the Ladies. XXXS and XXS are available. They were designed to fit in proportion to the smaller hands.

We have dealers in Australia, Canada, USA, Belgium, Chile and South Korea. I also sell the Gloves direct, and can be reached on Facebook, Instagram, or email ryandodd@live.com. My new website www.inspiredbyryan.com is also up and running with a bit of info. I don't have the store in working order just yet.

Thank you, and keep skiing hard.

[ReggieO]

Just ordered a pair, looking forward to getting them!

[Deanoski]

I just ordered a pair also

[StevePops]

@RampDodd I live in Sweden and I wonder if it is only possible bying the gloves i Belgium in all of Europe? And if that is the case, what store in Belgium have them?

[skialex]

@StevePops Olivier Fortamps in Belgium has them, really nice guy and good friend, contact him on Facebook or enter his site.

[StevePops]

@skialex Thank you! ?

[skihart]

Hey anybody spot a cyber Monday deal on these gloves? My wife and kids are asking me for Christmas present ideas.

[Killer]

@skihart yep. Dodd posted a deal on insta. Have to buy direct I think

[skihart]

@Killer thanks man will check it out.

[skihart]

Wow that’s a sweet deal! I bought three pair. Surprised more ballers aren’t all over this.

[WBLskier]

I wear a medium in 41tails. They are very tight in that size which I like. What size would I be in these gloves?

[skihart]

@WBLskier if they are the red 41 tails then get the same size in the Stealthglove.
