Bronco GTs are definitely the way to go.  I have really bad circulation in my hands and feet, and the GTs are the only gloves I've ever had that kept my fingers warm.

Hestra and Swany are the 2 warmest glove companies IMO. If you know a Swany rep, you can get 50% off their gloves, but it will still be like 50-70 bucks. I would recommend the Swany leather Toasters. They are the warmest things, and have a zipper on the side, so you can open that up, and stick your hand out of the side. (It has a liner)

Mittens will always be better than gloves if it's really bad but if you want to stick with gloves get some of the hestras pictured above. I have them and they're really warm.

the zipper never got stuck for me. you should have just ripped the glove where it is sewn if they were under 1 year old. you would have gotten free gloves.

Maybe it was just last season but it was fuckin cold in utah last winter.. I ended up getting frostbite on my nose and had a few friends who had the same thing happen. Hopefully it wont be so cold this winter.

k that explains why you have only getten frostbite once.

i wouldn't complain about shit snow and cold temps if you live out west. try the east coast for a year, and deal with what we deal with
