Guide Review - DAKINE Ventilator Gloves
We tested the DAKINE Ventilator gloves in Utah and Arizona in several different contitions. We liked the look and feel of the gloves once they were worked in.
We liked the DAKINE Ventilator Gloves because they have a good feel on the bars and don't look too bad either. Dakine makes good quality product and the Ventilator gloves are no exception.
Although these full fingered gloves are great for warm weather, we don't recommend the DAKINE Ventilator gloves for winter riding. A large amount of the material used in the construction of these gloves is a fine mesh material that makes them ideal for warm weather riding, but would do little to stop wind or cold.
When we first put the DAKINE Ventilator Gloves on we noticed we could feel all of the seams in the fingers. This feeling wen't away after we broke the gloves in, and we never noticed the seams while riding.
Overall, these are good gloves, and for $35 they're really good gloves.
