Gloves - Level any good? - Snowboarding Forum

Looking to buy myself a pair of gloves..
I'm aiming at the Level half-Pipe - Problem is, I heard they tear at the fingers after a short time, due to constant wear from bindings opening and closing..
Is it true?
If so - what gloves should I buy?
Thanks!

I was looking for those gloves the entire last season and was never able to find my size. I only found super-pipes near the end of the season at courmayeur but did not want to pay the premium of almost $200 for them.

I'm really convinced by the biomex, but i know quite a few people that do seem to have issues with level gloves not lasting long.

I picked up a couple of different drop gloves a few months ago from whiskey milita. They were $17 each i think, and are gore-tex. One are thin and shallow freestyle ones, the other are a bit warmer and came with an underglove. The only thing i hate about that pair is that its not a gauntlet. I never wore anything other than a gauntlet and had no idea that regular gloves are so crappy.

I have had my level gloves for 2 seasons now and they show no sign of wear, best gloves ive ever owned. I had several pairs of dakine gloves in the past and they would last 2 season max.

I have a friend who has had level gloves for ALONG time and they still look brand new.

Biomex is really good also
