Anyone know the factual difference between the two material found in today's
ski gloves?

I put a post on the WW on this so not to be redundant, but I have
found the "new" Amara, like on the Hyperlite Moto glove, to be
tackier, and much more resilient than "old" Amara. I think HO has a
similar style.

I don't know the technical stuff, but the Kevlar always felt like it
was slipping a little on the handle to me, but half of my ski club
uses K and love them.

It's always a half a dozen of one and half of the other.....ain't it?
(Kevlar vs. Amara)

I must admit, that the "amara" material does interest me, since the kevlar
SL gloves have never impressed me in terms of wrist straps.. In honesty, I
have owned one pair of SL kevlar gloves and they gave me trouble staying
strapped to my wrist. I was always re-stapping the gloves between
turns..( that bites!)

I use the nylon palm protectors, but I'm looking for a good pair of gloves
that provide the best possible protection. I've had good experience with
the Masterline gloves.

Thanks for your input Mr Bishop! Tacky Amara gloves would be of interest.
I will consider that!

FWIW, and I don't know if there's a correlation here, but when I was looking
to replace the clutch in my 5-speed, I considered kevlar. I was cautioned
by someone I trust (does only the type vehicle I have, could tell you each
and every fastener and part in the entire car) that Kevlar requires heat to
grab - otherwise it's very slippery - so either very high revs, like drag
racing, or lots of slip for normal applications.

So, my expectation would be that they'd hold up better, but you're going to
have to use your hands to keep the handle in them :{))

Personally, I use the Amara and like it a lot.

For me the kevlars ripped up my hand and ripped up my handles in no
time. Lately I've been using Ski Limited Millenium gloves with great
success. AB's tacky gloves sound interesting but then grip
endurance/strength hasn't been my problem.

My problem was the Amara was only lasting a few sets before ripping
up. The new gloves are holding up so far without any tears after at
least 15 to 20 sets. Which for me has got to be a record. I would go
through 4 to 5 pairs of Overton's Pro Skins in a season. Right now,
it looks like one or two of these will do.

The grip is actually better, so that is an added bonus.
