Anybody tried the new Radar Boa Inside Out gloves yet?

[dchristman]

It sounds like a great idea. I think I have enough gloves in rotation, but they are a likely candidate for a can't-wait-for-spring weekend purchase.

The, absolute, most comfortable gloves to put on, especially dry. They are still not 41 Tails (my number 1) but they offer fantastic grip and comfort and are simple and fast on and off.

I got a pair from Wiley's and have been on them for about a month now. Absolutely love them. They feel a bit funky when you first put them on; almost like there is too much material and you have a fingernail on the lower part of your finger.

 

I never noticed anything weird while skiing. I would highly recommend them.

I got a few sets mine. The fingers are a little short but I have longer than average fingers. Also seemed loose on my fingers. Last couple of sets I used liners and they felt snug then. They are really grippy. I was tired of seeing the velcro straps loose as I ran passes.

+1 on the Velcro. The 41 Tails have crap Velcro. That's my only real complaint about them.

The inside out Vapor Boas take no time to put on and the strap stays on, and tight. I played college soccer, as a goalkeeper. They've had inside-out style gloves forever. As soon as I saw them I bought them. If I'm putting in several sets, i'm still using the 41's, as my hands hold up better. If it's a 1 quick set day, the Boas are fantastic. I wear an XL to XXL glove and got the XXL Boas, and have zero complaint about length. I can usually get away with XL 41's, so with what @gregy says, maybe they run a little small.

I agree on the 41 tail being the best glove ever if the Velcro strap was better. I literally can't make them stay strapped no matter how hard I try.

Last summer I tried D3 enzos because they have an overlapping Velcro palm strap. It helped. They fit great. But the padding was bunching up were my fingers and palm meet and pinching the skin causing blisters. With 41 tails and liners I have almost 0 hand problems. The last new pair of 41 tails the velcro lasted maybe a week if that before it was coming loose. Hope these boas work. @aupatking the liners helped with comfort on the Boas for me. I haven't abused my hands with them much yet though.

Skied for several years with HO Clutch gloves with liners. Ran last three sets of the year with the new Vapor Boas and loved them, though the water was cold and my hands were iron. Will see how they work next summer when the water warms up.

Thanks for posting, as this is the first I've seen of these. I'm definitely ordering a pair.

From my perspective these are the best around. All I use. They feel weird for a set or two but I honestly put them on in late October and skied better from then on. Used these in the Worlds in the super slippery water and decided to hold on for a full 2 bouys in the final. Was skidding on my back for 150 feet with a full buoy given which put me in the run off for Bronze. These things don't let go if you don't want to.

 

Tip: If you're going from 41's to these go one size up. These give way less and are a little smaller to start. I'm S in 41's and M in these.

My current pair which I can't remember what they are right now , come apart every pass. So fricken annoying. But they fit and grip well. I want to say they are masterlines. These look awesome without the Velcro problems. I'm gonna get me some

@dchristman The new inside out Radar gloves are top notch, I'm wearing them now, you get a way better feel for the handle and are extremely comfortable.

[Horton]

@Colebrah wearing them right this second?

[dchristman]

The inside-out seams would likely cause keys adjacent to the intended ones to be pressed.... but now I have to ask "do they work with capacitive touch screens?" :)

[mwetskier]

@dchristman -they do if you dip them in warm water first.

[dchristman]

@mwetskier it's good I have a waterproof tablet!

[ColeGiacopuzzi]

@Horton yes sir right now, great gloves!
