MGINEERING The Least, The Last, The Left Out

The Northwest Passage

You can’t go wrong with leather gloves, and I’m picking this pair FTW = For The Win(ter). I saw the Northwest Passage gloves by Defcon on Louie Fountain last spring at Kamp K2. He pointed out the baseball inspired cross-stitching details, the zipper ring reminiscent of Native American dream catchers (with arrowhead shaped leather pulls), and of course the tassels. “They’re long enough to hang below your sleeves, but not too long to be a safety hazard.” Louie says. Yup, sounds like the perfect length to me.

At $79 they’re on a higher price point for snowboarding gloves, but I think they’re worth every single penny. Kudos to Louie and Defcon.
