I'm having trouble figuring out what would be the warmest mitt option for me? I bought a pair of Dakine Baron Gore-Tex mitts this season but they aren't as warm as I thought they would be because they aren't breathable. I've heard a lot of people say leather is a better option but I've never owned a pair so I'm not so sure. Thoughts?

To be fair, I haven't used leather gloves either, but I am not sure how they would be any more breathable than something synthetic.
On really cold days, I have a couple pairs of thin, breathable liner-type gloves that I'll wear under my gore-tex gloves. Once they get sweaty, I'll swap them out for a different set.

ahah gore-tex is very breathable bro, it might not be the most breathable membrane out there but it is pretty high up on the list.
a Kinco glove will be significantly less breathable than your baron mitts, if you are still getting cold try getting a pair of merino liner gloves for a little extra warmth and make sure you are layering up (*properly) to keep your core warm, cold core = cold extremities ie. toes and fingers.
