Dead of winter gloves?

Almost lost a few fingers last season in my Spyders so those have been set aside for spring skiing only. So can anyone recommend another pair that will keep me nice and toasty throughout a full day of bitter cold skiing?

I would recommend dakine rovers. Or basically any of dakines summit series gloves/mittens. OR, if you're not a fan of the gauntlet, check out the cobra glove/mitten.

The seth pro glove sucks. Sent back two times because they stitched across the finger so the glove was twice as tight.

Hestra rocks though.

Most comfortable glove ever....

FOr super cold days patrolling I have some High End MEC gloves, super warm and goretex so they stay dry. Black Diamond makes some great high end ones too. They may be expensive and not quite as steezy, but theres a reason they get used for things like ice climbing and mountainiering

The Hestra gloves are the best! that's all I ride in, the vertical cut is maybe the best as well, warm enough for the coldest days and breathes enough to even wear in the spring. also check out the "park warrior" they are discontinuing this glove next year but I actually found them cheaper than backcountry
vertical cut $85

Park warrior $99

I was looking around and found these. They're pricey but i doubt you'll ever get cold hands wearing them.
