Hestra gloves in general are really warm, a good mitten too.  I find that if I dress warm enough I can wear my grenade pipe gloves almost every day.

are you kidding me? these have to be the absolute worst glove i have ever owned/dropped $100 on. pieces of CRAP. not only are they dakine's most expensive glove, they are also:
-not water proof
-not warm

i live on the west coast where our winters can't touch east coast winters temperature-wise and holy mother-father they are terrible. my hands freeze when it's -1 degree!. hell, they'll freeze when it's warmer than that.

worst.glove.ever.


nobody buy this glove, not now, not ever!

Answer to your question: The Marmot Ultimate Glove. Nothing made by anyone else comes close. I plan to get myself a pair as soon as my current gloves eat it. End thread.

For gloves check out the outdoor research alti or super colouir gloves and the the marmot ultimate.  I have the alti and the are super warm but a bit bulky, the marmot ones are a little less bulky.  Both are very expensive though.  If you want mitts, check out the outdoor research line.

get the Scott mittens that have the gore-tex 2-in-1.  There's  two chambers in the glove and it's almost like wearing two pairs in the warm side.  When it is warmer out you can put your hand in the "grip" side and your hands don't get sweaty.  Two gloves in one is pretty sweet bt it's a bit pricey at about 199 CAD

I just got some Hestra Seth Morrison Pros, such a legit glove, but pretty expensive at $150.
