Baller Andre Posted July 13, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 13, 2022 It was mentionned during this week end webcast that they are now being sold by Alice Bagnoli. Never been close to a pair but always read good comments about them.Anyone running them? https://www.skiprogear.com/shop How do they compare to the MSN yellows that i've been using last 8-9 years? As thin and durable? My ski finish in 16.95 but my ass is out of tolerance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mastercrafter Posted July 13, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 13, 2022 I keep trying others but keep going back to Progear... and I'm finally done trying others. The good: Super thin, no bulk, really grippy. Definitely my favorite glove to wear and use. All others, inside-out or not, feel like there's too much material around my fingers. I buy the smallest gloves I can fit into and still don't love em. That is a non-issue with Progear.. it's like they're not there, but you still have super-hero grip and comfortable connection to the handle. They quite literally feel different (good) enough to make me happier and more comfortable while skiing. The "not as good": They don't seem super durable. I wear holes in them relatively quickly, but they're about 1/2 price of the Syndicate 41 Tails, which also fall apart on me. Cost per set is probably about the same in the end and really a non-issue. Sometimes the velcro seems weak, but if I don't crash and have the straps open up once wet, they hold just fine. Becoming less of an issue now. My Radar and Syndicate glove velcro also opens up. Really I just need to stop falling. I would give them a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Andre Posted July 13, 2022 Author Baller Share Posted July 13, 2022 @Mastercrafter I will! Good post! Thanks! Got out my last pair of MSN and have to get spares! Same price as MSN too.

Baller VONMAN Posted July 13, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 13, 2022 At least 15 years of using Progear gloves. Best glove ever. Ernie Schlager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Slalom.Steve Posted July 13, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted July 13, 2022 I believe the ProGear, the MSN, and the Stealth Lite gloves are all similar. I'd love to see someone buy two or all three, test them out for a season, and give us a report :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ mike_mapple Posted July 13, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted July 13, 2022 My Dads Favorite gloves...I still have plenty of the pairs he had that are still un used. They are what I use on the rare days that I ski Performance Ski and Surf Mike@perfski.com 👾 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skialex Posted July 13, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 13, 2022 A Pakistani company makes this type of gloves, at least some or most if not all. There are some quality variations but overall gloves are pretty much the same. I think they offer two qualities and possibly some brands have a better quality control. I’ve seen this type of gloves originally from progear and then MSN and Buzotta’s Pkb and Savvas Pandeli SP and ML and Ho and other brands. There could also be some sizing variations too. I think MSNs have the coolest colors though… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MDB1056 Posted July 13, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 13, 2022 Have not tried these but very much prefer Kevlar gloves for superior grip. 100% agree with @Mastercrafter in wanting best form fitting finders etc . Connelly Claw 3 are the best I’ve ever used . Prior Connelly versions had quality issues but they’ve stepped up the process IMO with the Claw 3. Thin form fitting and durable with great grip. Yes you can have all that extra unnecessary bulk around your fingers with the inside out craze…. No thank you. If Connelly were to discontinue these I’d but a couple dozen pairs at least. May have to give ProGear a try though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LeonL Posted July 14, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 14, 2022 They sure don't give much of a description of their gloves on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller KRoundy Posted July 14, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 14, 2022 For those who have used these how do they fit? Do they run large or small? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Mastercrafter Posted July 14, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 14, 2022 @KRoundy I wear small Radar, small Syndicate, and small ProGear.. I'd say "true to size" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted July 14, 2022 Supporting Member Share Posted July 14, 2022 @KRoundy I was told by a ProGear rep that you want these super tight and so at least a size down from other types of gloves. (They didn't turn out to be my favorite gloves, as Kevlar gives me a purely psychological grip improvement, but the best were probably the S even though I wear L in Kevlar gloves!)

Baller_ Slalom.Steve Posted July 14, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted July 14, 2022 Strange, I've found Amara gloves give me better grip than Kevlar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LeonL Posted July 14, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 14, 2022 For years I swore by Kevlar until I couldn't get the ML Kevlar and went with the Amara. Never went back, regardless of brand, grip is great with Amara. Handles last longer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller kc Posted July 15, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 15, 2022 @LeonL I also ditched Kevlar for Amara years ago. My go to is the Syndicate Inside-Out Legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller UWSkier Posted July 15, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 15, 2022 Tried Amara a few times but I destroy them in about a half season. I can easily get a season or two out of Kevvies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
