Advice on what gloves to buy
Models like the North Face Apex+ Etip and Hestra Heli are really well-built and last for months or even years. They are insulated and waterproof, so they handle tough conditions like hard labor really well.

Skiers/snowboarders- most longstanding piece of gear?
UV plus all the wet dry cycles are usually what wreck kit first, you can baby stuff all you want and it’ll still get cooked by the sun and soaked over and over until the materials just give out eventually... For jackets or shells, the tougher 3 layer woven nylon with a proper PU or ePTFE membrane survives way longer than the flimsy laminated fabrics people try to pass off as technical. Seam life comes down to fully taped seams with wide tape, the skinny decorative tape peels off early. Goggles stick around when they use polycarbinate lenses in stiff frames, the floppy TPU ones twist and crack and then the coatings just flake. Gloves that last are full grain leather with Kevlar stitching, all the foam backed synthetic stuff gets shredded fast and it’s extra bad in really abrasive snow where you’re constantly brushing ice off gear and each swipe wears the surface. Old Arcteryx SV shells and Hestra Army Leather gloves are the classic examples of kit that actually survives. If something advertises softshell panels in high wear spots, skip it because those sections blow out first every time.

Brands you swear by that have Buy It For Life quality products
A bit niche, but Tanner baseball tees. Just got my first one and it’s night and day compared to the rubber Easton my kid’s team broke. Kuat bike and ski racks. Well built and awesome customer service. I own a second hand Transfer bike rack. Had a part fail and they replaced the part for free, no questions asked. Hestra ski gloves. Specifically the army leather heli series. Expensive but worth it. Free The Pow is a great company for similar gloves but I don’t have as much experience with them.

BIFL, any budget, comfort and style be damned, warmest winter gloves possible
Hestra heli 3 finger gloves. Hands down. I’ve also tried Give’r and they were good just had to spend time breaking them in.

Hestra for sure! These specifically….you can buy replacement liners to rotate if you ski back to back days and need something that dries before the next day. https://www.backcountry.com/b/hestra-heli-3-finger-glove?CMP_SKU=HES0016&MER=0406&skid=HES0016-AL3FBLK-S10&mr:device=m&mr:adType=plaonline&utm_source=google&utm_medium=pla&utm_campaign=21239148130__p:G%7Cs:BC%7Cct:Shopping%7Cct2:pmax%7Cg:xx%7Cc1:Accessories%7Cc2:xx%7Cb:xx%7Cmt:xx&utm_content=&utm_id=go_cmp-21239148130_adg-_ad-__dev-m_ext-_prd-HES0016-AL3FBLK-S10_mca-7811_sig-CjwKCAjwwe2_BhBEEiwAM1I7sX-W-k2cHBhQ1j5cTOwbVR8SGvsIt8-wvA_NV4j6ZVQ3f0xGmt-4NxoCB2wQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_Jw0avl1Ts7kVjplbN43vNtlt4K&gclid=CjwKCAjwwe2_BhBEEiwAM1I7sX-W-k2cHBhQ1j5cTOwbVR8SGvsIt8-wvA_NV4j6ZVQ3f0xGmt-4NxoCB2wQAvD_BwE

The hestra ones I have are thicker and not touch screen capacitive, but they are seriously nice and seriously warm. Hestra army leather heli ski gloves. Super comfy.
