Any really good mittens? I just want a solid coloured pair, like the joystick ones. I want them, just wondering if there is other ones like that.

Kinco Mittens are tight, also Armada makes some pretty nice ones too. Flylow is also up there but Kinco is probably my favorite

I love my kinco Axemen, but wish they went higher on my wrist. Their other mittens are nice too, but i haven't found them quite as comfortable. I still use my Kinco Axemen when not skiing park and Kinco leather insulated gloves for park (hard to grab with mittens).

Joystick makes sick mittens. Same with Dakine. And as stated above, you can't go wrong with a pair of Kincos and some homemade waterproofing.

Ok cool, so really the main thing stated was kinco. I looked into em and i love them but the only thing i don't like is the lining on the inside, can't stand that. I could go on a huge rant about that but i not cause at the same time i don't care at all. I found some double lined wool mitts for 15 dollars on amazon and if i waterproof them would those be fine? I really like the look of wool mittens

I got some of the old joy stick mittens and they are the best things I have ever put on my hands. After 4 seasons with them they are getting a little fucked so it might be time to upgrade, but i just dont want to let them go.

Wool is for socks and sweaters, not gloves. What's so bad about the lining?

Wool is too permeable so you can't really waterproof wool gloves. Wool insulates well when it is wet so wool mits can be a good choice if you are not expecting to get soaked. Leather is the way to go if you want something durable that you can easily waterproof with snoseal.
