I got some Pow Royal mitts. Pretty nice, all leather palm, Thinsulate so they aren't bulky, and waterproof nylon backhand.

Yea my special blends aren't very bulky and I've never gotten cold using em. There's like the special blend logo stitched into it and I expected it to fray a little and it has but it hasn't changed anything and I love them also Hestra is pretty good as well!

Pic racing mits are awesome, goat leather, insulated, and have armor which is nice. Only thing is they are pretty pricey, but I've used the same pair for 4 seasons so to me it's worth it.

If you want the warmth of a mit, but don't want to loose the dexterity of gloves, take a look at the SethMo three finger mits from Hestra

If you don't suck it up and get a leather Hestra, you're just volunteering to buy replacement gloves for the next 10 years while I use the same ones. Best financial gear decision I ever made. 8 years until someone stole them.

I love my dakine tanner hall collab mittens, make sure you get 1 size bigger so you can get a thin liner it makes a HUGE difference liners make any mitt better
