Are the kinco 901t ski mittens a good mitten I know they make really durable gloves. Does any one have any experience with these mittens.

Here's the link:http://www.kinco.com/product/901t/


I was thinking of coating them in sno-seal if I got them.

Any mitt Kinco makes is good, as long as you waterproof it.

I ordered a pair the other day and just got them, from just holding them they seem really durable and warm. Haven't put any coatings on them yet or anything but sno-seal seems like its the way to go with kincos.

They don't have the best finger control but I don't know who would expect that from leather mittens which haven't been broken in yet.

I have the same setup. Cost me $5 lol. Thanks to shin bang for the hook up

But seriously I know people who have gone like 5 season with them. Worth it for sure.

I use some pigskin work gloves for everyday use, only break out the marmot mitts for the super cold/wet days.

IMO pigskin is better than regular leather because it somehow seems to stay drier, doesn't smell as bad, doesn't get dilapidated, and breaths a little better. I haven't even waterproofed them and they do great.

Something like this is gonna be pretty good.

Also the mitts you posted do have little finger separators which I personally can't stand. Just make sure you know

I wear Kinco Axemen when not skiing park (hard to grab with mittens when using poles) and when I ski park, I use their gloves, which I don,t find as comfortable but if anyone can find an axeman equivalent glove, that would be great.
