Hey NS, I'm heading out to COC this summer and I got one pair of Empire's new pipe gloves but looking for a backup pair, like if mine get soaked halfway through the day. Suggestions? Other good brands/models? Should I buy some out there or go for a second pair of empires, they're pretty cheap?

Wouldn't those be really warm? They're made like winter gloves I think. Its going to be hot at COC and I really don't want to be sweating my hands off.

and i thought when i bought my first ones at the dew tour 25 bucks for pipe 3s was a good deal...

anyone ever had the newyorks? i tried them on, they were comfy and seemed warm, but anyone have first hand experience? my hands are messed up, they get cold really easily. like my friend and i were at the killington dew tour freezing our butts off at almost -10(?) and he was warm in pipe gloves w/ warmers and i was freezing in my regular winter gloves with warmers?

for some reason i have always hated mittens. don't ask why i can't explain it. but i feel like it would impede my ability to grab. idk though, your personal preference is best.
