kincos are pretty good, big fan of the new wells lamonts too, similar to kincos but waterproof out of the box and much more broken in.

Kincos mitts are a better deal and I'm not the only one that thinks they are better than the flylows. Flylows are basically knock- off kincos but for some reason they charge more for them. Kincos are made in Oregon too so 'Merica F' yeah!

If I was American this would be good enough for me to go for Kincos

I used the Wells Lamont mitts all last season and they are great anywhere from -10 to -30 or lower. They are too hot if you're doing any hiking though. Theyre around $30 too. I had Dakine Nova mitts too for years and they are great.
