what are you guys rocking when its warm out? I have a pair of northface mittens taht I really liek but they are getting beat to shit and i cant seem to find the exact model I have anymore. looking for a mitten thats not too warm, waterproof, has the wrist bracelet thingy, and has some sort of adjustability for tightening around wrist. Not leather. help would be appreciated, price not important, looking for anything that checks these boxes.

found these by 686 https://www.686.com/collections/mens-snow-gloves-mitts-collection/products/686-mens-gore-tex-smarty-3-in-1-gauntlet-mitt?variant=40746679500971 was thinking i might give them a shot

Anytime it’s above 40 degrees I rip without mittens. Feels better. Looks better.

Been using these for a 4 seasons now as my dedicated spring / hike session mitt. They are very lightly insulated so for my hands they keep me at a comfortable temperature. They are cheap and they make tons of dope designs for these mitts too. If you want super warm weather mitts maybe look at shells? They are just the outer waterproof layer without any insulation.

Mitts look cool, you don’t slice your hands on grabs, your hands don’t get wet and numb. The wind chill alone would be terrible in anything under 50

Are they just a shell? Weird I can’t find anything that’s a mitten that isn’t insulated.

I’ve never cut my hands on grabs or by falling in the snow. My hands just don’t get cold honestly I feel so much more natural skiing without mittens/gloves
