I've had Mens Quiksilver carpal gloves for the last two years and they've now had it and I need some new ones but just can't decide on whether to stay with Quiksilver or try a different brand. Anyone got any they would like to recommend?

I prefer a two part glove, where the shell and liner come apart.
Great for drying and also when it is hot (just use the shell).

I personally hate those type of gloves, I find them quite annoying when every time you take your glove off the liner comes out to. I had a pair like that a few years ago. I've been looking at getting a pair of North Face gloves.

Maybe there are worth a try. Are they North Face montana's? (see link)

The one's I had that had an inner was some quiksilver ones where the inner was held in by Velcro but every time you pulled your hand out the inner was coming with it whether you liked it or not, very annoying! So changed to Quiksilver Carpals with no inner and they were amazing but they are now heavily worn out.

Have a look at http://hestragloves.com/en/

A lot of Austrian ski instructors seem to wear Hestra. Some of them are army style, they have a leather trigger finger, or so I was told! Expensive, but will last for years and years and......

The above website give details for UK.
