Help On Buying Mittens

Hey guys,
I'm lookin at mittens for this season after realizing the gloves I've been using won't cut it. I checked a few sites (backcountry, skis, evo, etc.) and was a bit overwhelmed with the selection. Just wondering if anyone could give some suggestions on some nice mitts that aren't terribly overpriced and will keep my fingers warm on temps from 0-30ish degrees. And I'll probably get some liners separately if they don't come with em. Thanks!

The Dakine THall mitt is awesome. Don't use liners and in 10 degrees weather my hands are toasty. Plus they are waterproof. Heard that the Armada Bdogs are sick also. Hope that helps

Special blend mitts. And HESTRA!!! They are pricy but reviews are good and knew a guys that lasted 8 years and then were stolen. So in long run these could benefit

I have a pair of Hestra's. They are pretty expensive but the leather is good quality and they will last you a lifetime if you take good care of them.

Hestra is the way to go, I'be had other expensive gloves, but my Seth pros seem to keep me comfortable in every condition (from -5 in t-ride to 35 In Tahoe)

I've been using cheap Auclair cross country ski mittens. They are cheap ($30-40), warm (I ride my bike to school in -48c a few years ago. Legs were cold, hands were warm) low profile and durable (mine are 2-3 years old).

I have a pair of dakine mittens that are nice but if your worried about being cold go with hestra. I have a pair of hestra gloves that seem pretty thin but they are what i wear in the worst conditions. So i would assume hestra mittens to be the shit.

I would love to get hestras but they're a bit out of my price range. I think like $65-70 tops, and I realize I'm not gonna get top of the line stuff. Just sometin to keep me warm

Pow Royal mitts, pretty cheap price wise. Good leather, waterproof backhand and 100g Thinsulate to keep you toasty.
