Burton AK 3L Hover Mitten - Men's - 2008

Whether you’re riding the resorts in heinous conditions or gearing up for a high-altitude backcountry descent, the Burton Men’s AK 3L Hover Mitten gives you the waterproof protection you need thanks to Gore-Tex shell fabric. The shell’s sonic-welded seams eliminate the need for stitching and thread, which cuts weight and adds weather protection. A removable, down-insulated liner mitt wicks moisture, and a removable four-way stretch Dryride liner gives you dexterity for impromptu booter-building sessions. Pre-curved fingers and a Rodeo AK leather palm on the shell ensure you can grab your tail and tweak like a flying contortionist from two-foot kickers to massive cliff bands. - Fall 2008.

Bottom Line: Lay the smack down on cold weather with the Hover Mitten.

Best gloves I have ever owned. Shell mitt is great for spring days, or put in the liners to stay toasty. Fits wrist guards with ease. Liner gloves are good quality, liner mitts are toasty.

Good and Not as good

By:
March 5, 2009

I purchased the 2009 model of the AK mitt to replace my hardy 1997 Burton Tri-Lite Mitt which preceeded it. Those great mitts lasted 12 seasons, and are still plenty wearable, but the Fleece Liner had matted down to the point where hand warmers were needed in any kind of cold weather. These Mitts are still the best ones I can find for riding(not including and Extreme Hiking Mitts which i didnt search for) but the new mitts have a few issues:

1. I wear an XL mitt and the newer model is SUBSTANTIALLY SMALLER than the older model. My thumb has a tight squeeze getting in, though when i put the new liner in the old shell, it is a great fit. Burton will not sell the liner alone, so i had to by the new mitt, which is a shame since a replacement insert would have been fine, and much less $$
2. The new insert, while much improved and down filled on the back, is lacking a pouch for a hand warmer (I can only assume that Burton feels one will never be needed, but not a good call)
3. The new shell is 1 1/2 inches shorter(in the Gauntlet Portion) then the older model. If you are like me and like gauntlet mitts, then the missing 1 1/2 inches means that they are much harder, and take a bit longer, the get on and make sure your jacked sleeve is fitted in place so that snow/wind do not penetrate. I personally like the longer shell much more.
4. The new palm is now leather. When i bought my last ones i wondered why i paid $120 for mittens that were not leather...well they lasted 12 years and now i am not sure why they would use leather that will wear down with use (though for the price i guess most people will feel how i did back in 1997)

anyway, still a great mitt, but NOT for people with big hands, I am hoping the fancy leather will stretch out!

Great Glove

By:

I couldn't find any reviews on this glove so I am gonna have to write one. My hands get cold very easy but these gloves kept my hands warm and toasty my whole snowboarding trip. My hands got so hot one day i removed the down liners and despite it being in the 40's my hands stayed comfortable. These are great gloves if your debating these or the oven mitt remember the oven mitt's liner is not removable which may limit there use to very cold days. Great all around glove at an awesome price at dogfunk.
