I'm looking to buy some nice gloves. my hands always get extremely cold so i'm looking to buy some that keep my hands warm. price isn't really an option because it's a present. right now i'm looking at the Hestra Cloud Nine or the Hestra Seth pro model. I was wondering for anyone who's used them, how warm they keep your hands, how waterproof, etc. Also, if there are any other sick gloves that compare, like from Level or whoever, give me some options. thanks

Mittens.  I have bad circulation in my hands; they are cold most of the time, even when I'm not skiing.  Mittens do wonders.  I don't know if Hestra makes mitts, but I have a pair of Dakine Bronco GTs that I love.

Best gloves I've even had. I was night skiing with them on friday in 10 degree weather and was perfectly content.
Then went out skiing on saturday when it was floating between 0-5 degrees so i threw in some hand-warmers into the little heat pocket and couldn't of been happier.

I have shitty circulation and always have cold hands. I got a pair or Level Utah Goretex 2 in 1. They have two slots to insert your hand (insert sex joke here), one for feel and one for warmth. They are the warmest gloves I have had in 10 years.

Switch Gloves. They are amazing. The warmest and most comfortable glove I have ever owned and Ive had dakine, hestra, level and others and these are easily the warmest. Super soft leather. Kevlar in the palm so when you do grabbers you dont tear your gloves up. really nice design too.
