If you want to save some serious cash and get a sweet glove then look no further than your local Costco.  i have used many gloves in the past and none have kept my hand as warm and as comfortable as the head gloves at costco.  They look alright, no cool graphics or designs, but hey what can you expect for $15.  I buy a new pair every 2-3 years, but nothing else has been so warm and nice.  And hey it's Costco, If you don't like it 4 months later just take it back. I stand behind that glove and I have hands that always freeze, so it's the glove for me.

well it depends on how thick a glove you want. You can find cheap thick ones that work good, but not cheap thin ones that work real good.

 dakine is terrible.  Once you have owned a hestra glove, you never go back to anything.

Thread Jack!!! How are switch Gloves? Are they just a spring glove or do you think they would be warm enough for the whole winter?

What he said.

I have about 100 days on the Heli glove and there isn't a sign of any wear or tare. Easily the warmest gloves I've ever had. For more form fitting, Cloud Nines and Vertical Cut are very solid. Price will be steep if you can't get them at the last season closeout sale, but they will last a long time for sure.

Hestras are pretty amazing, and expensive. Dakines I usually shred before the season is half over. My analog mitts held up for 3 seasons before I had to toss em, but I didnt use those daily.

Kinko work gloves with heat keep. They cost $13 and are the warmest gloves I've ever owned. http://www.kinco.com/prods/L02-01.php

Before anyone makes a joke about them, these are the gloves worn by nearly every lifty, ski race coach, and a bunch of photographers I know. In other words, the guys that stand in the cold for a living.

Hey man, if they keep my hands warm, considering how bad my circulation is in my fingers and toes, I could give two shits about how they look.

i have armada park gloves they seem to be good, only had them at the end of the season. they are not that expensive at all. mine were 10 on sale regular 20. scott seems to make a good gloves.oh and if you want to spend the money for a really good quality glove/mitten go for Auclair, there not the best looking and some might think there only for racers and old people. But i have a all black pair and i use them alot. there all real leather so you can't go wrong.

hestras are by far the best in all categories and will last you a lifetime but they are very expensive

+1 for kinco, the heatkeep knit wrist work glove costs about 8 bucks and is super warm, soft, and waterproof if you add leather balm to it

carhartt makes a similar glove to the kinco one that i actually like better but i can't remember the name right now
