I've had Drop, Dakine, and Hestra gloves. Hestras by far have been the best. Very warm and hold up well. So I would go with Hestra the extra money is worth it in my mind.

these are pretty much the nicest/warmest.  i have them and they are extremely warm.  i sweat in them when it's over 30 degrees.  plus, the 3 finger design is genius.

Hestra FTW!

If it doesn get super cold you probs just want pipe gloves or something

Empire have nice gloves and the burton pipe glove is so good.

Hestras do look sick, not looking to spend that kinda money...POWs any good, i'm just looking for a simple leather pair.

I have a pair of POW's. The velcro stops working when it snows. They aren't even close to warm. They're good 20-45 degrees gloves. They're stylish, that's about it.

I have had Hestras, Swanzy's, Grandoes, Reusch, POW, Dakine, and Kombi's.
Hestra are the best overall but very expensive.
Swanzy have great longevity and warmth but also are expensive.
Kombi are affordable and excellent. I have a gore-tex pair I bought for 60 bones and they lasted me 250+ days.

I have a pair of POW's, I'd say they're good for high 20's and up.
