What type of you guys using out there to prevent extreme cold hands? I have some regular Dakines that I got for 50bucks and my hands are freezing. Also I'm runnin last year Spk's and my feet are cold as hell. Any suggestions? I've never been able to find good gloves same with boots to prevent cold temps.

boots that fit are a really good idea.

I use Hestra heli gortex gloves and they do the trick.

Even if boots fit perfect they can still be cold... I've heard spk's are just a cold boot overall. Boot warmers are an option.. kind of expensive but they fucking work. Any windproof/waterproof glove with a polypro liner should keep you pretty warm.. maybe try that? I didn't read the rest of the post about gloves so sorry if you tried that already.

ok well first, the more toe room you have(im not talking about room in the boot but room in the sock) the warmer they stay. So if your boots fit fine, don't wear two pairs of socks or else ur toes will get constricted together. This same thing happens to your hands. I would suggest either hand warmers or a nice big pair of mittens because mittens give u the most hand room possible.

I got bootwarmers a few years ago. I always thought they were for pussies and old ladies. I can't believe I waited as long as I did. Mine have 4 diff settings and even when it is super cold my feet are always toasty. As far as gloves go - you get what you pay for. Drop a hundred or so and get a really nice pair

leather gloves coated in sno seal. i put a piece of duct tape over the toe of the boot where that little rubber gasket is, keeps the warm air in and my feet are almost never cold.

the man makes a valid point. even if you were cold, you cant be complaining about it.

take the liner out of the boot each night and warm them separately a little bit of moisture can make alot of difference. wear mittens
