HO Blue Tech Palm

[tru-jack]

Anyone use the new(er) blue tech palm HO legend gloves have? thoughts or opinions? looking to try something a bit grippier.

 

thanks

I tried a pair this year, my go to glove the last few years is the 41 tail, the legend gloves were about the same grip and a little easier on my palms but i trashed them within a month or so, not as durable as the kevlar. In all fairness my death grip style is really hard on gloves,

I like how they feel but I’ve worn holes in 4 pairs this year and am currently skiing pairs 5 and 6. I ski a lot of passes though

Best gloves for my liking. Soft, precurved, great grip, comfortable, no ripped calluses whatsoever. They last twice as long as my previous gloves and usually a pair lasts for about a year. I ski about 140 sets, -28 to-35.

I’ve been using the HO Legends for years, including the newest inside-out. I really like them, but go though a couple of pairs a season.

Hmmm, 4 pairs so far this year by one user and 140 sets for another. It would seem that consistent quality may be a problem.

@LeonL I use them for over five years now, had no issue with most but in some gloves the stitching had failed early and had to sew them before they got shot. If you don’t do that, they won’t last. Same thing with friend’s 41 tails. Generally I don’t wear out gloves or handles either.

A really good glove with a better grip than most. Kevlar may last longer but tears up my handles and doesn't have nearly as good a grip. I ski ~100 days/season, 2 sets each day and go through 2 pairs a season. The grip seems to last but I get holes on left hand (palm down) about an inch below the base of the small finger.

Yeah my holes show up on my down hand, right hand below the pinky and ring finger, same on every pair of gloves, kevlar last longer but much harder on my hands, if the legends lasted just a touch longer i would have stayed with them.
