My best glove purchase ever

Rating:*****

The Cobra does it all.
Into my second season, still as warm and comfy as first day wearing.
The glove is a must for any outdoors activities (which does not include walking the dog!).
For you doglovers, keep in mind that the glove is made for comfort when in action, which requires that the glove also breathes. This glove breathes perfectly, which again makes it warm and comfy. If you put this on and dont move your hand for 15 minutes, of course your hand will be cold, this is not a handoven, or do you think gloves produces heatfor you?! Well, think again. A winterglove from Dakine is for high intensity outdoor activities.

Tip for making this glove last longer; spend some money on som grease, vazeline, oil or any petrolatum, and rub them in.
Keeps 'em in shape :)

And a last word of truth from a Norwegian: The Cobra does handle effective -40 celcius.

A quality glove at a decent price

Rating:****

I’ve had the Dakine Cobra gloves for a few months now and have taken them out in 25 degree weather and most recently
-1 degree weather with wind chill temps making it close to -20 degrees. The gloves held up nicely warm and mostly dry until the later part of the day. After sweat or moisture from the conditions got them a little wet, they did lose some of their warmth, but not enough to cause any cold finger issues. I would say they're a good buy if you don't plan on riding or skiing in a lot of sub zero days, but would like a glove that can handle the cold times when you don't want to wear your pipe/park gloves. They look great, I would say in reality they are a mid profile rather than low profile glove and Dakine truly makes a quality product, so I'm hooked!

Good for skiing

Rating:****

I got these gloves when they first came out. So this review is alittle dated but read on.. I have had a great experience with these gloves and really cant complain much about them. They have kept my hands warm and dry for a few seasons. Fortunately enough none of the stitching has come undone. I will say the palm, leather portion, gets wet in the east coast snow and warmer weather. My hand has never gotten wet from it though. I bought them in white and with little to no problem they have stayed white with no washing or extra care!

I think that skiiers might have the best results with this glove because of the grippy surface on the palm and the padding on the backside of the hand. I'm a snowboarder who is very happy with dry warm hands and would reccoment these to anyone.

Been using these gloves for three seasons so far...

Rating:*****

I've had these gloves for three seasons and the leather/rubber palm is starting to wear a bit near the stitching, having been dragged through quite a long distance. They're decently rugged. They're still extremely warm and still waterproof, just as the day I bought them. I would highly recommend these gloves to anybody that isn't a first-timer snowboarding because these aren't gauntlet-style. But for non-beginners, it's great because it's soft, warm, lightweight, small, and works for most any situation. It's Gore Tex material so you know it will definitely keep the water out. You can put them on and dunk your hand in a pool and water won't get in (unless it pours in from the cuff, then you're just stupid). The thumbs are a bit long for me, but maybe I just have short thumbs.

Rating:*****

I live and ride in Jackson Hole, riding 100 days a season...It's very cold and windy on some of our upper faces, and the Cobras are very warm, especially for being an underglove, and perfect for this environment. The DWR finish on the leather keeps the gloves from feeling waterlogged/heavy, and the Gore-Tex inserts keep you dry in the wettest of conditions.

Never a problem with leather wearing out or stitching problems. I'm on my 2nd pair only because they start to smell funky for as much as I'm on the mountain!

An amazing value for an underglove and hard to beat given its tech/features.

Warm and Good Dexterity

Rating:*****

These gloves are warm and I love the low-profile wrist cuffs that fit underneath my shell. Gauntlets will keep snow out better in case you wipe out, but I find them more annoying to take on and off repeatedly. The Velcro strap adjustment on the wrist cuff isn't very well designed, it's a bit short but still better than nothing. These gloves aren't bulky so dexterity is great given how warm they are. I've only worn these gloves on a few day trips, but other folks have experienced the seams coming loose. Time will tell how durable they are, but so far they are great.

Right price. Good product

Rating:****

I have used these gloves for just this season and the there is already a rip on the wrist stap. But other than that these gloves do the job. They aren't as low profile as i thought they would be (actually pretty bulky). But in the end they do their main job of keeping my hands warm great! On the cold cold days i wear laytex surgeon gloves under them and that works like a charm. My hands were on fire when it was dipping below zero! A nice glove at a nice price.

Rating:*****

I have two pairs of these gloves because they are just that awesome. They are the perfect fit for any riding your doin and they are soooo warm. My hands are the first things to go when it is cold. I've ridden with these in sub-zero temps and felt cozy and warm. Their not bulky and have the feel of a park glove but are gore-tex and are great when your shredin so sick powder lines too. Do your hands a favor and pick up a pair......or maybe two?

Good all around gloves

Rating:*****

These are really great gloves. I have always had cold hands when i would ski, even to the point where I fell off a lift onetime because of it. But I have yet to get really cold hands. They aren't that great for just standing around, but they don't get your hands to warm when skiing hard. Great all around gloves. The waterproofing is really good also. The only thing that isn't good is that the cuff is a little short, but other than that, I love them.

Negative Reviews:

DISAPPOINTED IN DAKINE

Rating:*

I'll get right to the point. I made my purchase based on the reviews I read. Boy was I misinformed! For the price, this glove is a joke! I read a review saying "These gloves kept my hands warm in -40C" THIS IS NOT TRUE AT ALL! Also the reviews are over a year old. May be Dakine changed something in there gloves since then. I live 5 minutes south of the Wisconsin state line and they didn't do what everyone said they did. I walked the dog yesterday, it was only 20 degrees, I was only outside 15 minutes and my finger tips started getting cold! Today 1/2/08 it was 18 degrees and my finger tips got cold again! I knew I should have stuck with a glove that has at least 100 grams of Thinsulate Brand insulation and not Thermoloft. I also noticed the Features area for this glove, they never mention how much Thermoloft insulation is in the glove. I ended up wearing my wifes gloves with 100 grams of Thinsulate Brand insulation in them. I was outside using the snow blower for 2 hours, snow blowing everywhere and my wifes gloves kept my hands warm. I'll be returning them tomorrow. BOTTOM LINE: COBRA GT GLOVES LOOK NICE BUT DON'T GET THE JOB DONE! AND THAT'S THE TRUTH!

failed to impress

Rating:**

these gloves looked amazing on the website. the reviews were 90% positive, nearly everyone loved them. I ordered them for Christmas, and when i opened the box, they sure looked good. but when i actually used them, they were quite disappointing. my fingers got cold after a 20 minute walk in 20 degree weather. I shook it off as incidental. then i went skiing nine days with them on, and it seemed that after every run i'd have to curl my fingers into fists to preserve some heat. my fingers would constantly be cold, even when the temp was in the teens and twenties. i expect more from a pair of gloves. without warmth, even the most stylish gloves are useless. I have to say i was disappointed with the performance of these gloves. i gave them a chance, and honestly, they failed to come through.
not worth the money-next time i'll invest in some hestra's or something.

However, Backcountry was was great with their return policy, and true to their word

Fall apart but still keep you dry!

Rating:**

Super warm and super dry, but and this is a big but, the silly pattern on the palm and fingers starts to peel off instantly, they should have left the palm blank, the stitching came away in first 2 weeks and grabbing my board put a massive slice through the thumb in the first week. I wore them for the rest of the season with all these defects yet my hands didn't get wet once due to how good the gore-tex is.
Personally the Cobra mitt is too many leagues ahead of the glove to mention.
These just aren't robust enough if you expect to do any more than a holidays length of wearing.

MonkeyMercenary at Dogfunk on 10/21/2009

AMAZING (if you are into gloves that fall apart)

Rating:**

Dude, i bought these gloves mid-season last year and they held up pretty good untill about a month later when the stitching holding the cloth to the leather started coming undone. Another thing that eventually happened to these gloves was the leather palm got torn up from grabs. All in all my gloves probably have a total of 5 holes each, DON't BUY THESE GLOVES IF YOU PARK SKI

Dakine Cobras run small

Rating:*

These gloves are plastic junk compared the all leather Dakine Duke and is not a consistant size Medium compared to the Dakine Duke and all other size Medums that I have ever had. They run very small as if they were a kids size Medium.

I didn't get a chance to test them out because I want to return them as I received them.

these gloves look awesome but the looks don't meet up with performance.
they get wet, they tear, the stitching comes away.
basically, dont bother!

Great gloves while they lasted

Rating:***

These gloves were awesome when I first got them. I was riding around 10 degree weather in Utah and wasn't cold. Obviously a mitt will be warmer. I had my dakine mitts in my backpack in case it got too cold but never had to use it. I've also been in rain and snow (wet and dry) and never got wet. My problem is the stitching on the side of the fingers fell apart and the stitching on the velcro tabs fell off. I thought maybe it was something I did wrong but they were happening on both sides. I have less than 10 days on them and they're already doing this. I'm returning them for another pair and will update again after using the new pair. I've had good experiences with Dakine gloves and hope that this was just a defective pair.

Good warmth, poor durability

Rating:***

The Dakine Cobra Glove provides good warmth, I thought with the leather palm that they would also provide good durability. That is not the case. The pluses on this glove are good warmth (around 5 degrees skiing today and they were warm)and they are dry. I purchased these gloves about a month ago and I'm already starting to show wear and tare on the fingers and on the seams. I'm hoping they hold together for now but am not counting on it. Thought I'd give Dakine a try as other products I have used from them have been good. I'll probably look to spend a bit more if these don't last the season and go with Hestra.

Shawn Craig at Backcountry.com Outlet on 12/09/2008

Just OK

Rating:***

These gloves are just OK. Fit is great, fairly low-profile, very usable, but just not that warm. Used them for a trip to SW Montana where temps were around 5-10 and my hands just wouldn't stay warm. Ended up using my ancient, destroyed Burton mits. Over 15/20 degrees, these are fine but colder than that, you'll want something else.

Ripped after one day, but still warm!!

Rating:***

I wore these gloves for one day before the stitching came undone and ripped. despite that i continued to wear them for the weekend, and they still kept my hands warm. They don't completely stop snow from entering the glove also, requiring a shake out after some snow contact.

Big Hands small gloves

Rating:***

These gloves seemed really awesome, but the fact that I have Sasquatch hands doesn't help. Dakine seems not to tend to the larger palms, that is to say not many gloves of theirs come in XXL

keeps you dry warm upto -10Cish

Rating:***

Dakine CObra's keep you dry & warm to a certain point. I took them in the backcountry & lasted about 10min. On the hill up to maybe -10C or so. Really comfy glove.

Bad stitching!

Rating:***

The second day I used these gloves the Velcro fasteners started to unstitch! I had to use industrial strength glue to repair them. They kept my hands warm and dry though.
