I'm going to pick up some new mittens as my current gloves are too small and make my fingers cold. Any suggestions for something that would be warm enough for 0 degree weather? +k for helpful answers

These look great. Do you think they would be warm enough for cold weather?

If you're willing to drop some dough, Hestra Henrik Windstedt Pro Mitt. So warm, almost too warm sometimes.

hestras are nice, but you can get the same performance for less. i have marmot mitts that keep my hands warm on the coldest of days. they have goretex in them and it seems when i talk to people that say they always have warm hands, they also have goretex mitts.. so you might consider looking into that before you drop some dough on some bdog mitts that will be more fashion than functionality

Woah, B-dogs are most definitely not warm enough for 0 degree weather, even without windchill.. They are a dope mitt, just not warm enough for what you are looking for. Oakley just came out with a few new mitts.

Not at all. B dogs are extremely thin mitts. Not good for the cold at all

black diamond, arc'teryx, and hestra all make super quality gloves that will last a lifetime. they are really expensive and you can certainly find gloves which will be about as warm for less money, but its really hard to match the quality and durability of these companies. look for "guide" models especially, as they are designed to be the toughest and warmest of them all.

Bdog mitts are insulated, they're just thinner than most other ones like BD and Marmot.. But I've been wearing them everyday in negative temps and my hands have yet to get cold or wet.

If you do buy the bdogs, keep in mind the sizing is off. I wear a L/Xl in Dakine gloves and got a medium in these.

BC is sold out, but you should be able to find them somewhere. Paying $70 for a pair of gloves is dumb.

I have a $300 pair of arc'teryx gloves and $180 Hestra Seth Morrison pro 3 finger gloves. The Hestras are better by far: warmer, cheaper, smaller, more comfortable, and a lot better looking

Are the Seth Morrisons super warm? I'm probably going to snag a pair of those.
