i just buy new pairs of kinco winter work gloves when i need them. they are warm enough for me and only like 10 bucks. so personally, i guess my answer is no.
though i'm sure there is plenty of interest from others out there. good luck. starting your own small company can be brutal, especially fighting giants that have been around for a while. just make sure there is something about the gloves that sets them apart (ie better waterproofing, cooler or trendier styling, etc.)

The market is already flooded with a zillion types of gloves.

Unless you can differentiate your gloves from the existing products you wont make a lot.

So either make them cheaper than already existing gloves of a similar quality or have some unique selling point.

And "if we come up with a good product" is a pretty vague statement. What are you going to do to make your gloves "good"? Why should I buy your gloves instead of the dope one's already on sale?

Good luck mate, put the hard work in and do your research I have no doubt you could get a nice little operation going.

This is what I wear when skiing. $10 leather work gloves from home depot. So no, I probably wouldn't spend money on gloves. It's a very over-saturated market.

Define "good product". Gore-tex isn't always an instant win...liners? padding? gaiter? seams? If you're only targeting newschoolers retail price would have to be pretty low, production price even cheaper. For example, I think $165 or whatever retail is on the Hestra Seth's is reasonable...those gloves are the best on the market from one of the oldest, if not the oldest, glove company in the world. For a brand new company, no matter how wonderful the product is, I would pay no more than $60. I personally think gloves are really important, but thats because my circulation sucks.

I payed 80 bucks (a lot I know) for a pair of swany mittens but they have been craaazy warm and comfy and my hands never get wet or cold and they've lasted two seasons.. so if the product is good i'd be willing to spend

for a quality and dope looking product, people will pay like up to 80$. If a pair of gloves or socks or some shit are warm, waterproof and comfortable, and dope lookin, people will def buy that shit.

75 tops, but make them customizable, like changing patterns and colors around, or even take it a step further and have the customer choose what material they want on the inside and outside so they are completely happy with the glove. That would be pretty cool

I ski in Pennsylvania and it really doesn't get THAT cold here. I had a medium warmth glove that I sweated a lot in, it sucked. So, if you made a high quality, light, but still super waterproof, moisture wicking, and good looking glove, I would buy it for around $50, and I know a lot of my other friends would as well.

Do it like Nike i.d. Where you can get names and specially placed pockets and shizzzz on them. Pm me if I want a prototype. Get word out by pros too. Example: befriend Andy pArry and will season, give them free gloves. Meet a big pro, pay them to wear the gloves for a sesh at wondells. Sit back, smoke, watch the dual screen spreadsheet go crazy!!!!!

If you're charging more than $60 it had better look fucking ILL and keep my hands warm and dry for a 100 day season.

As a dedicated mitten user, I have had 2 main problems with mittens;
1. Durability. I've blown apart so many pairs that I got for like $30.
2. I can't find a pair that work well and last that I enjoy seeing on my hands. Make em steeeezy. And low profile... I want these mittens to be slim and warm enough that they can keep my hands toasty while I open zippers without taking em off.... You feel me?

On that note, I dropped about $100 on some POW mittens. Super low profile, warm, and good looking. Plus they're great quality and I'll get at least 1 or 2 more season out of them.

IMO the 3 most important things for mittens:
Warmth.
Low profile.
Durability.

Address these 3 concerns at a reasonable price point and you will do well.

If you made a mitt that had huge gaiters or gauntlets to keep snow out and if they could stay dry with hours of digging, I might pay up to 100. whenever I go snowcamping or dig a snowcave, I always have to wear dishwashing gloves with liners to keep my hands dry
