Dakine Blockade Windstopper Short Gloves Black

A no-nonsense glove for when you need wind protection without bulk. The GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER 3-layer shell cuts the chill on mild days and uptrack climbs, while the synthetic suede palms let you manage buckles and zippers without fumbling. Adjustable neoprene cuffs seal at the wrist.

Why we rate it

The form-fitting, low-profile design means these sit comfortably under a jacket cuff or worn standalone. Synthetic suede palms offer practical grip and dexterity where you need it most—no thick insulation to fight with when you're fiddling with bindings or zips. The touch screen compatibility is genuinely useful on the hill.

Who it's for

Skiers and snowboarders running mild-day laps or spending time in the uptrack. Anyone who wants a minimal glove that won't bulk up their jacket sleeves but still keeps the wind off.
