Warmest gloves?

My hands always get sooo cold and it's miserable skiing when your hands are so cold that they hurt. So if anyone knows of any super warm gloves that would be great.

Hestra Vertical Cut Freeride

A fantastic glove, and they will last you for a loooooooooooong time (for most people anyway!).  My Hestra's are 3 seasons old and they look new.  I can't believe them sometimes.

I rock swany toasters ... they're mittens with a removable glove liner and the mitten shell opens up so you can throw hand warmers in there ... or you can so you can toss two fingers out for smoking if you do that, or even have fingers to use a phone! Even though I happen to be a lady, I'm sure they have men's models too.
Either way I highly recommend mittens and pretty much anything leather is pretty legit.

Are those the pair that are kind of an orangish color? One of my friends has a pair of those and says they are super legit.

And I realize mittens are warmer but I hate wearing them, they're too big and I can never adjust my ipod when I wear them.

Alright I found the Hestra gloves and those were the ones I was thinking of. Anyone know where to find a pair of these for cheap?

alright I know its a snowboard company but I got hooked up by them this winter and found them realy sick.... Capix! they look fucking classy and stay realy warm. they have an anti bacterial property of some sort. My gloves are usualy so fucking disgustingly smelly after the least bit of effort. these ones lasted all year without me washing them once and they still smell dandy! i cant beleive it. they are coming out next year only so dont look for models until the new gear is launched

Look through Backcountry, lots of good deals between that store and the outlet.

personally, i think i have some warm gloves.

go to walgreens, and buy the $2 liners. see, you know that they'll be warm because they cater to hobos. next, take park gloves, and put them on top! whaddayou know? super warm

but, hestra makes some realllly nice gloves, just watch out for the price tag

My Dakines are quite warm and fit well, I've never used any other decent gloves though. I'm sure Hestras are more expensive, but I'm sure they would last longer, because I've sewn up and duct taped my Dakine gloves a few times to keep 'em going.
