Hi NS this is my first post!! Looking to get new gloves my current ones are trash and my hands are always cold. Looking for ones that keep me warm primarily. I am good with mitts or gloves. Thanks

Hestra for sure if you can drop the cash on them. They'll last forever

Hestra Seth pro is awesome, I have had them for 7 going on 8 seasons and they are still kicking ass. I did also get some armada prime gloves last year which are nice and warm as a solid second choice.

THIS. I have 2 pairs of hestras and rarely use them. I think kinco gloves are just as good and cost like 10 bucks. seriously try them before spending tons of money on hestras. worst case scenario you dont like them and only wasted 10 bucks vs wasting 150 if you buy hestras and dont like them

I have tons of gloves and each is goofd for it's own thing.

I love my $9 Ninja Ice gloves for skinning or a light glove- insulated seamless neoprene and with rubber dipped palms. Perfect light glove. Seriously, none better anywhere at any price.

The next step colder I'd go with Stoic Paragons. Amazingly dextrous glove considering the price w/ bro code, wool palm liners and fleece insulation for knuckle side. Great wrist closures and have held up fantastically for me even after two seasons of abuse. Just like a Hestra but without the incremental sizing and the extra $100.

After that- when it gets really cold out- it's all about the Arc'Teryc Alpha vertical cuts. Holy shit talk about a warm, dry glove. I got a pair for suuuuuuuper cheap on that site I don't mention and I'll never give them up. Goretex pro outers, 3D lezzanova leather palms, full seam taping, fleece liners that dry in minutes... Also BREATHABLE GLOVES!!! I could go on and on. They make my Hestras look cheap and flimsy if that's possible. Never gotten cold or wet in them and my hands are always sweaty so that's EXTRA nice.

I've got some swany toaster mittens and they are pretty damn comfortable and I never have to use hand warmers. If you buy the all leather ones they hold up well.

POC makes nice gloves, so does level. Scott makes nice park gloves too.
