This thread is drifting towards how the sprinter van thread went. People crying about stuff that they wouldn't buy anyways, and trying to judge people that do.

Tried on some arteyrx gloves over a year ago. They were the nicest gloves I've seen, the 3d style of construction was in a different world to almost every other glove I've seen.

Naturally they were also the most expensive winter gloves there were, could buy a pair of ice axes for the same price!

So naturally I didn't buy them, and have ever since been wandering the earth trying to find a glove that fits half as good.

It kinda is the same. $350 dollar shorts are about as dumb(and useless) as a $45,000(base) 4x Sprinter.

But hey....whatever people need to do to feel adventurous.

I wear my chalk bag in the front when I am feeling adventurous! I'm pretty much just like Jimmy but prettier.

My brands, clearance and irregular, always seem to be a decent price. When I was a kid, I thought my size was Irr.

This is the most wistful post I've read in ages. Did you touch yourself when wearing the glove?

It's a glove, not a woman

Fit, attention to detail, durability, warranty, and actual innovation--- the prices on arcteryx are fair, it's everyone else that's overpriced...

My girlfriend swears by RAB for fit.

How did you know? It's okay though, as English is her second language.
