Looking for thin gloves/mitts for spring slush season. Any recommendations? Must be available in EU.
I have been using Black Diamond Arc gloves for some years now for spring riding and also for splitboarding. Two years ago I lost my first pair and bought new ones instantly, so I guess I like them.

Mine are still untested, because those seems to be very warm and we did not have very cold weather this season.
But I have seen people in Alps with electric warming gloves switched on in very warm weather for myself.

That could be Raynauds I guess.
The Tour gloves have been nice enough, lil step up from Dirtbag I guess, but on sale it was close.

As the season winds down, what's the collective wisdom on here on powderskirts in jackets? Personally I hate them and never use them but all jackets seem to have them. Does anyone like / value them for real?

I prefer no pow skirt. If I am going to ride deep pow, I will wear my bibs.

Always use my pow skirt. Also wear high-top pants or low bibs, what ever you call it.

I've been on the ziptech program for years. If/when I have non Volcom gear, I'll be sewing a zipper in to whatever I have. Not a fan of bibs

I really like the zip tech also. I just have to remember to unzip before I pull my jacket off. I always use my powder skirt; it also acts as a wind stop.
