the only glove that works for me thought they discontinued them, mine are all torn up, they usually start ripping at the pre-curl fold but are great otherwise

[Mike D]

Oh no...I thought I might have found the answer....that's too bad there discontinued...

I talked with Prolimit, they still make the open palm mitten. The distributor is Trident Sports in North Vancouver. They currently only have mediums in stock. I'm going to give them a try. BTW I had to purchase them through North Shore Ski and Board, as Trident doesn't sell to the public.

If you or anyone else is interested in a larger size, they will be getting new stock in March 09.

I could put in a group order, if there is interest, (pm me) probably save a few bucks.

I use the ProLimit open palm mitts too and they are the only ones I can get away with and not get forearm cramps. I still hate wearing gloves but they work well. My fingers still get cold with them though, but still better then bare hands. Make sure you get a larger size then you think. I wear a L and I have small hands. I'd be interested in getting a L pair if you can get them.
thanks

BWD that's good to know about the sizing....I definitely wouldn't fit the medium, guess I'll need the XL then. I'll put you down for 1 pair of large.

Cheers.

You can get stuff like that locally from Chris at Excel. He will order it if he doesn't have it.

I would suspect that Chris gets them from Trident, as they are the North American distributor. I'll give him a try though..maybe he has a couple pair collecting dust in the back room.
