What are the best pair of Gloves or Mittens I can find? Tired of my hands being soaked after a day of riding and finding a new hole in my gloves every day. Any help appreciated.

I am a big Hestra fan. They are expensive but the fit is really nice and they last forever when you take care of them. I have had my pair since 2006 and despite a few stitching repairs, they are still rocking despite being smashed into tree branches and 50 mph hand drags on corn snow etc.

Dakine mitts are decent and don’t cost the earth, I’ve had a pair for two seasons with no issues !

Surprised no one said Kinco yet. If you're on a budget, they're solid if you waterproof them correctly with Snoseal. Super warm too. Comfortable down to 0F. Somewhat bearable to - 5F. This is coming from a guy who spent $200 on 800g fill goose down mittens because every pair of gloves I had failed and my fingers would be numb after an hour or so. Bought a pair of Kinco gloves and now only use the mittens if it's super cold and as a backup.

Hestras are prob good but $$$$. If you have the cash, and want to splurge, go for it. If not, see above.

Maybe. I already have mittens and only bought because I needed warmer hands. I prefer gloves in general.

Flylow makes some mittens that are pretty good for only about 40 bucks.

Candy grind also makes some pretty warm mits, thats what i use in the park.
My hestras are by far the best mittens that I have ever had but I would hate to ruin them by riding in the park.

I have used the 40 dollar dakine mitts in -30 and never felt cold once. If you were looking for bang for the buck, they are a solid choice. I have beat the shit out of them in 2 years, mainly not quality or stitching related.
