aright so this season i need some new gloves. my hands are the only thing that get cold when i ski (bad circulation)  so i need some really warm gloves, i was thinking mitts might help.  anybody have any advice?   and im also not looking to spend alot on these either.


 also what do you guys prefer? gloves or mitts?  never seen a skier using mitts before

You're best bet is to throw down $100ish on a pair of Hestras that are super warm. They have a lifetime warranty so basically you would never have to buy another pair of gloves after that. Plus they are some of the best made gloves out there.

for sure, hestra makes the best gloves around. But I would stick with Gloves, mits can be a pain not being able to use all your fingers. just put a hand warmer on the top of your hand, it will help with blood flow

yeah thats the only thing i was worried about with mitts, plus it makes it harder to throw snowballs hah.

 so hestras are def worth the money? i would def spend 100$ on them if they are great quality, and lifetime warranty. sounds pretty good.   i was looking at the Burton AK mitts, i hear they are super super warm

Get some hestra's and a nice lightweight tech liner glove to fit inside.

Just because they are hands doesn't mean we shouldn't layer them like we do with the rest of our body on the slopes!
