i do too.  i have too.  being 6'3" gives you poor circulation to your outer extremities sometimes.

I usually ski with mittens, but as stated before, it is harder to grab with them. Some of my friends wear small, thin gloves underneath bigger ones.

and yeah, its preferance

I also just started to ski with out poles, I think that that makes mittens look cooler when you ride too. But I dont do it that often.

i have the dopest mittens in the world
but what you need to learn is that its not about looking cool or whatever you know don't worry about that shit it's about the fact of whether you want to wear them or they're comfortable that stuff, stop caring whether these kids think it looks gay
