Quite simply THE best gloves with integrated wrist protection that money can buy.
The D-Impact 5 gloves by Dainese have been designed with a snowboarder in mind. Utilizing the technology that comes with their Hector range of wrist guards, the D-Impact 5 gloves are simply the best glove/wrist guard combo that you can buy. Technically as a glove, the D-Impact is sound. Using a D-Dry membrane the gloves ensure that you get a complete seal against undesired amounts of water coming through the fabric. Elevated breathability makes sure that your sweat can get out, so it's happy days all around. For added warmth Dainese put their Primaloft padding in them, which is made from ultra fine fibers that are treated so you get an incredibly soft, lightweight and water resistant glove. Dainese say that Primaloft padding is 14% warmer when dry and 24% warmer when wet than all their competitors.
Overall, if you're looking for the best on the market in terms of wrist protection and gloves, then the D-Impact 5 gloves are the way to go!
