The only fully taped GORE-TEX glove on earth, the Burton Men's AK 3L Throttle Glove gives you the durably waterproof performance of GORE-TEX when you hit the mountain, so you know you'll be warm and dry in even the worst weather. Burton backed the three-layer GORE-TEX Pro Shell outer with both a removable Polartec fleece liner and a removable four-way stretch Dryride Thermex fleece liner, so you get total versatility and protection in any conditions. Layer the intechangeable gloves for the weather, or use each one individually on milder days. Whether you're carrying your board up a ridgeline or making a drawn-out grab, the Rodeo leather palms can hold on to the task.
size issue
great gloves, it came with 2 removable layers (2 layers + the actual glove) but if you want to fit all 3 layers comfortably then you would need to order at least 1 size larger than your usual size.
Excellent quality construction but sizing issues.
I've long been wearing Burton's size medium in Men's gloves, but somehow this year the AK Throttle glove fits a lot more snug that other gloves in year's past. Didn't believe other reviews when they mentioned that you should get a size up from what you're used to. Now in my medium size, I'm having a tougher time getting my hand out of the inner fleece lining without pulling it completely out of the glove shell. Will need to see if it is going to bother me enough to determine whether I'd return it or not.
