Just right. Use the size chart on DaKine's website.

I got the orange ones for christmas. They're sold out everywhere but somehow my mom snagged a pair. SHe got me the xl and the thumb felt kinda short and the main chamber too long. but i put em on with liners and they were perfect. I usualy wear an xl in gloves like pow gloves but this is my first pair of mittens. i think my hands are like 8-9 inches around at the widest point. my friend got the cobra gloves and he bitched about his hands being fucking freezing. But he's a ninny and i think the mitts will be warmer.

stoked to use them with two feet of fresh tomorrow on my bacons.


ill post up how they feel.

Ya, I got a pair.
They work well, keep me warm and such.
They're nothing special, but I'd recommend them.

Very good mittens.  My hands never get cold when I'm wearing them, and I skied in -35 windchill last week.

got a pair of cobras for xmas- seem pretty sick
I have big hands(im 6'4) and an xl is slightly tight but they will break in once I use them a couple times.
Ive always rocked Dakine and never had anything bad to say

I have the Dakine Scouts (gloves) but i know them make them in mittens. they are by far the best gloves i have had. the liner its self is amazing, its warm enough to ski in on a warmer day, and waterproofish. the whole liner and glove together is amazingly warm... check em out

I got a pair last year and love them, they're super warm and not really really bulky. I'm not really sure what kind they are, they were a gift, but they have held up really well and feel awesome

i used my cobra mitts today in like 15 degrees and they were amazing.
Wasnt used to mittens at first but now i love them more than my pow gloves, And the cobras seemed to be very waterproof and have nice built in liners, i used other liners too.


I highly recommend these to anyone after my first day with them
