Radar’s Engineer BOA glove is an addition to the lineup this year. The Engineer BOA seeks to solve a problem many skiers have encountered while on the water: Loosening straps. The velcro strap around the wrist, as well as the strap across the back of the hand, can come loose over time. The Engineer has a different solution for each strap.

The strap along the back of the hand has been removed entirely in favor of a material with less give. The mesh does have a small amount of stretch, but not so much that a cinch strap is required for a snug fit. That does mean the glove can be a little more work to get on, but that is a welcomed exchange for many skiers.

The velcro wrist strap has also been removed from the glove, and has been replaced by a BOA dial; a nice upgrade if you ask me. The BOA system allows for quick, easy tightening, micro adjustments, and disengages in a snap when it’s time to take off the gloves. It’s also easy to handle if you’re wearing a glove on the other hand.

The wrist strap on the Ergo gloves received an upgrade that should help speed things up and increase strap hold. The Ergo’s predecessor came equipped with two thinner wrist straps, each with their own velcro for securing the strap. This year’s design contains one strap sized about 50% wider than last year’s, and a new locking system called Wrist Lock. Wrist Lock takes the design of last years Power Pull strap and adds velcro to the mix. The strap is easy to pull tight while wearing gloves, and is easily secured in place with velcro. Most of the strain is on the cinch piece used in the Power Pull strap, which makes the velcro piece beyond the cinch clasp another line of defense against loosening glove straps.

The Power Pull strap across the back of the hand has a large pull tab to make adjustments a breeze while wearing gloves. The cinch clasp releases easily as well to make loosening the glove simple and free of frustration.

The Palm of the Ergo gloves has SuperFrabic, a tear resistant material, to keep the gloves lasting as long as possible. The fingers of the Ergo-A have an amara fabric for excellent grip on the slalom handle, while the Ergo-K fingers have an aramid material for tear resistance and maxiumum longevity.

The Radar Vice glove remains mostly unchanged, but there is one nice upgrade for the new model year. The material used to cover the back of the hand has been swapped out for a stretchy PU fabric. This fabric has been used in a handful of Radar products from vests to past glove designs. This year it has been included in the Vice design to reduce bulk and weight while keeping the intended stretch of the glove’s backside. The Vice keeps the dowel grip design, as well as the locking wrist strap from previous designs.
