Snowboarding Mittens
|
I am looking for opinions on snowboarding mittens, specifically those that suck and those that work. I get cold fingers easily and need something super warm. Your thoughts are appreciated. |

Kinco mittens. Waterproof 'em. On the chair each lap put the mittens atop your base layer on your ribs, and lay your hands on your ribs on the skin. |
|
i have an OLD pair of Columbia ones that are pretty warm. i'd part with them for $20 shipped. PM me. |

The Swany Legend touch are pretty amazing. Leather mitt with sewn in glove liner with full zipper pocket, not only can you can pull your fingers out without taking the mitt off, you can stuff a hand warmer in there as well, super warm. |

dakine scout (double) mittens. absolutely cannot beat the warmth to price ratio. |
|
If price is an issue then go kinco and waterproof them. Amazing gloves for 20 bucks or so. |

I've had a pair of Burton Oven Mitts for nearly 20 years, never been cold in them up to -45 F |
|
I got a pair of Free the Powder mittens last year and my goodness are they warm. Removable liners were great because it meant that on warmer days I could use thinner liner gloves then the liner mitts they came with and super easy to dry out after wet days. Coldest I wore them in was maybe -10F and they were still pretty cozy. Honestly they were usually too warm. |

I bought a pair of hestra lobster gloves which I Iove. Take a look at these. |
|
I first read that as kittens. Somewhat disappointed. On the plus side, I need to start considering gloves for this ice climbing season, so thanks for the reminder. |
|
Thanks everyone |

If dexterity isn't the most important aspect & you want one of the warmest mittens available, take a look at Mountain Hardwear's Absolute Zero Mitten. Made for 8000M peaks & stuffed with hydrophobic down. |
