Is the difference between a regular snowboarding glove and a GORE-TEX® snowboarding glove really that extreme? We compare it to dunking a piece of bread into soup and dunking a piece of bread inside a plastic bag into soup; one gets sopping wet and the other stays dry. The same principle works with GORE-TEX® gloves. The Volcom Full Pipe GORE-TEX® Gloves will keep your hands so much drier than any other glove out there. They come with a GORE-TEX® waterproof and breathable insert, a V-Science 2-Layer coated nylon shell, and Thermolite® insulation for the ultimate in warmth and dryness. As if the warmth and dryness weren't enough, these gloves also come with ergonomically curved fingers, a hook-and-Loop wrist cinch, and a suede nose wipe panel.
