Yes. Make your own pipe mitts. With pirate fabric.

If you've got the time, a sewing machine, and fabric, make it happen.

the only way is to buy a size a bit too big and wear another set of small gloves under em! I find that method warm enough!

well....they arn't really park gloves but switch gloves are very nice, they are warm and pretty thick, but still flexible and you can still grab stuff really easy, and i used mine most of the season and they didnt tear from grabs and all that good stuff

I have a pair of Dakine Broncos. They are bigger than normal pipe gloves but still really good size which allows good movement. Not waterproof but warm enough. I have worn them in Australia and also over in Aspen. They were fine most days in aspen except if it was very cold day then not the best. But overall i love them i highly recommend them

Get a pair of pipe gloves, perhaps a bit too big. Get a pair of thin glove liners, and wear them under the pipe gloves, problem solved.

it actually works super well.
mittens are 100 percent waterproof and super warm.
park gloves are....park gloves, and they slip in and out of the mits really well.

They are harder to find, but Oakley Pipe glove 2.0 are super sick. I have a pair and wear them everywhere above 15 degrees.  They are super warm compared to every other pipe glove i have seen.

I have Pipe Glove 2.0's too and they're alright for temperatures above 15 degrees F (-10 C) but they're really not waterproof at all. They absorb water like a paper towel and for that I can't really recommend them. I only paid $11 for mine though.

Im never getting Joystick again. I had the Oscars and they sucked. My hands were numb like everyday. Also on spring days they would get soaking wet

Haha well don't expect any better from any other park/spring glove
not surprisingly a spring glove usually does not keep your hands warm in winter conditions and on wet days in the spring your gloves get wet from slush and sweat if its warm enough

Go for the Pow Royal. I love mine. After putting on some leather waterproofing, they are so waterproof.

I've been looking into this for my fledgling clothing company and think it's quite possible. Would you guys be willing to drop a reasonable amount of cash for some sick gloves that actually do the job?

Pow has some thicker park gloves, still low profile but they keep my hands really warm. I actually wore them instead of my mittens this last winter and they did the job! I think Pow actually has a lot of different Thicknesses of park gloves, they have some really thin ones some medium ones and some thicker ones, then they have all their regular gloves as well.

These are the best gloves I've ever had.  They look sick, super comfy, super warm, very easy hand movement and grip.  If you're interested ---> http://www.switchgloves.com/

I rocked a pair of POW High 5's last year in Mammoth for a whole week during a snowstorm.  They were a size too small for me so my finger had popped through the tip of the index finger part of the glove and my nail and tip of finger were exposed.

Didn't have any problems whatsoever.

How puffy are those?  You think you could smoke a cigarette easily while wearing them?  Thats really the only reason I wear park gloves.

They're pretty puffy I think, but I actually think you would be able to pull off smoking a cigarette with one of those lol.

im also looking for some gloves to keep me warm in conditions of 5 degrees F and above.

i dont need them low profile gloves, they can just be gloves that are waterproof, durable, and really warm cause my circulation in my hands sucks, but not mittens.

 im only looking to spend around 80 or less, cause thats all the money i have left. im thinking switch, hestra (which models though?) and dakine (which models?)

thanks
