Whats going on, I'm looking to buy some new mittens this year and I am not a fan of gloves. I've always bought candygrinds but am looking for a new brand because the inside of the mittens wear down to fast. Anyone know of any soft warm mittens?
I use axeman choppers. Work great for cold below freezing winters and don't rip on tow ropes easily so imo they are really durable gloves. Maybe not exactly what you are looking for but cheap, durable, and pretty warm/burly mitts.
Im a big fan of pimp hands. I have a few pairs but my favorite is the full leather one they offer. Nice and warm without being overly sweaty. I used them all last season and they held up super well. You will be able to read my review of them and see them in a couple of my upcoming ski reviews
The guy's just looking for some mits. He's not looking to go broke haha.
My personal favorites are eithe Kincos or if youre down to spend more then go with POW. POWs are pretty durable and will give you slightly better quailty than the Kincos but Kincs are worth it for the price.
Kincos and other work gloves are great don't get me wrong, but when it comes to skiing and battling the elements, ive always believed going the "cheap" route is usually what sets you up for disaster, and cold hands fucking suck I do know plenty of lifties/foreman/mechanics when I bumped chairs rocked non-skiing work gloves, but you cant go wrong with brands like POW, Hestra, and anyone else that makes killer leather gloves.
With that being said, I sacked up and got a pair of the Fall line mitts from Hestra and its easily one of the best investments ive ever made. I had a pair of Black Diamond mitts before that lasted a few seasons but started to fray and tear by the spring, still good gloves. The Fall Lines however blew me away. Amazing dexterity (obviously texting and using your phone is impossible), and the fit inside of them is top-notch. Plenty of sub-zero days where I find myself with sweaty hands, and actually not too bad on warm spring days. I put them through the ringer (had lots of storm riding days last year in the spring) and they surely did get soaked, but its nothing leather balm or anything cant fix. Gotta make sure they are kept in good condition or the leather starts to shrink and shrivel up. Bomber construction as well, would get my hands a little caught up on tree branches and nubs when deep in the woods looking for good shit to ski, and no tears besides a few nicks and scratches.
10/10 mitts. Yes they are expensive but its a pair of gloves you'll be using for YEARS instead of seasons.
dub post but these things fucking rule for super warm spring days, I rocked the fuck out of mine skiing corn at Snowbird all last year. And fellow Michiganders usually love them.
