Where you get your Hestra gloves from? Quite fancy the Seth Morrison Pro model as they don't look too bulk, but not had a pair of gloves since i was 10. Just love mitts too much man. Found the fingers just too bulky and gash on normal gloves.

If I move away from Oakley in the near future I will be moving to Smith, no where else.


I agree, although I would rate Scott goggles also. When it comes to eye protection/vision fashion shouldn't be at the top of the list. Oakleys lenses are second to none in my opinion.

I got my Hestra's from Backcountry in the US, but got stung by HMRC :roll: Amazing price, but by the time UPS had cleaned me out, I could have purchased them in this country for the same. :evil:
