I have yet to see decently warm pipe gloves, which kind of sucks. I hate wearing bigger heavier gore tex gloves cus you have pretty much zero dexterity with your fingers. I can hardly grab a fucking zipper with those things...

don't get pipe gloves. they're just cold.

Check out dakine, hestra and level gloves. All make real good product.

Hestra Seths would be what I would buy if I was in the market and liked gloves. Mitts for life.

how does that work. Your fingers are more closed in gloves and have more area to move in mittens.

i have some drop pipe gloves, which i use for spring/warm weather skiing. they are no good for temps below -3. normally i use my dakine bronco GT's, i love them. super waterproof, not too bulky, and pretty warm. and they look dope

if you want pipe gloves these are quite good accually
a little thicker all over than dakine's that I have seen so slightly wamer i wear those little gloves that are like fleecy stuff underneath for extra warmth and it works very well
