Mountain Hardwear Bazuka Gloves

Comments about Mountain Hardwear Bazuka Gloves:

Spent a week in Park City over the Holidays and used these after I got them on sale here. I got a chance to use them in a variety of conditions:warm days, cold days, and snow days. The glove performed very well in all of the conditions. My hands were warm down to about 15 degrees. When it dipped below, I just threw in a handwarmer and was fine. When it was warm outside (40 degrees) the gloves breathed well, and I never got that sweaty hands feeling.

As for the construction, it seems pretty durable, although the natural colored leather on top will probably end up looking dirty after a while.

My favorite part of the glove is the easy to velcro shut gauntlet style that goes over the jacket. It provides a really secure fit and lets almost zero snow in even in deep powder or if you have a serious wipe out. I put a little bit of snow in the glove to test it out, and it evaporated out very quickly and my hands never got cold or wet.

The one con of this glove, well two... would be the articulation and grip, which is not even close to as responsive as the Hestra Seth Morrison or vertical cut freeride and the price. If I didn't get this on sale, I'm not sure I would be as stoked about it.

The articulation and grip aren't bad, they're just like any glove really, but for something this pricey, I feel like it should be improved. Other than that, the glove is pretty great.

Perfect except no idiot strap.
