for the past few years i have been using pipe gloves and my fingers are constantly freezing. So this year i decided i would get some mittens instead.

can anyone help me out. I need something that doesnt have the little finger seperators in it and they must be damn warm.

thanks

DaKine makes mittens.  They make quality.  get DaKine.  hestra is cool too, if you want to support someone who isnt as large.

pow snipper es. think of a mitten just a tiny bit thicker than a pipe glove. and with the liners my hands never got cold even on the coldest east coast days. pow over anything else. quality is great too.

I have always gotten cold fingers, so I bought some Black Diamond mitts. They are the best thing I've ever gotten. Super toasty, leather palm, can't go wrong.

Yeah, Outdoor Research mittens also have the best waterproofing i've seen on gloves.  i wore a giant one when i had a cast and i never got wet.  Personally i prefer getting big gloves and just layering with some liners though.

Don't get hestra if you feel like rubbing them with the cream they give you.

Grenade are shit so best plan is probably DAKINE i have some. There great

they feel like arctic ice climbing gloves, they're just super warm and windproof and your hands will never get wet. they're like a fleece mitten and then you slide the shell over so you get layering by warmth and waterproofing from the shell
they're just sick
