Again, quality is everything here, and for an item that doesn’t take up that much room in a board bag there should be no excuse for having sodden, frozen fingers.
Whilst pipe gloves are ace for spring conditions, you’ll want something a bit more substantial – and inevitably expensive – for those early to mid winter trips, but investing here will save you pain down the line.

Liners are also a must, just to give you an extra heat boost on the coldest of days, and like spare laces they can squash up into a corner of your bag or jacket no problem..
