hestra

I have reynauds and my kincos with like the liners built into them have not failed me yet this season

Undoubtedly Hestra

Gonna be that free ride bro but nothing that I’ve tried beats kincos with sno-seal for the price.

I like my wear leathers holding up well after 2 season nice and warm

i don’t think there’s a right answer… i rock some women’s dakine gore tex rn with my pass in the hand warmer pocket and the wrist straps. so much convenience right there.

i’ve also had WL and kincos… both were extremely warm and waterproof after snow seal but no straps and a bit bulky.

i don’t doubt hestras are gucci swag but do you really need to spend the money?

idk best but my go to

Don_KedicLots of different brand and price ranges out there, heard wells lamont used to be the standard but there quality has gone to shit lately. Ive had a $30 pair of gordinis that have been going strong for 2 seasons. What your guy’s opinion on best mitts?

Wells Lamont $14

Hestra Wakayama

Also really like my colab mits. I have the hot laps which are basically a shell but perfect for spring. They have other styles too

Me n my buddies were all trying each other's mitts after tourinf and howl took the W on dry level

Black Diamond gloves absolutly do an amazing job.

Black Diamonds for sure. Super pricey but will last forever

https://vermontglove.com/products/the-jefflo-mitt

They’ve got a couple cuff styles to meet your liking.

If you say anything besides Hestra heli, your either in denial or part of the kinco cult

Free the Powder

Their comparable in quality, warmth and breathability to Hestra but half the price

Basically just high quality Hestra clones

I've always got on well with Pow mitts, especially the Royal series

Dakines Chetler’s. Super fucking toasty.

Colab brand. Rider owned and operated. They make a bunch of really sick mitts at a great price

Unpopular opinion but I have not been impressed by the warmth of my Hestra Heli gloves. Should have got the mitt, I know. On not so cold days they are nice.

McDanielspriteWells Lamont $14

this or kincos plus some sno seal or waterproof spray. you could literally get several pairs for the price of basically any other glove that competes with it

if i'm spending $ on gloves, though, it's hestra. had good experience with middle of the road price/performance of black diamonds

My wells Lamont gloves still look almost brand new after 4 seasons...with a good bit of T-bar and a little bit of rope tow riding in there as well. I swear by them

PartyBullshiitDakines Chetler’s. Super fucking toasty.

Everyone sleeps on famines all leather mitts.

I have a pair that I’ve had for 7 years and they are still around, I only use em on shitty days on the rope tow nowadays tho

Hestra and Black Diamond make a solid set of mittens but your going to pay for it. I got a pair of cheap Wells Lamont’s with leashes and they are still going strong after 5 seasons of more than 80 days. Had to re sew the Velcro on one pair but no issues really. A tiny bit bulky but definitely warm.

It's probably Hestra.

I wear Dakine Titan Gore-tex, they're a great value when on sale at Evo, Sierra, steep and cheap, etc. and offer a good feature set. I don't hit rope tows or ski very often in super frigid temps.

Hestra = Best mitt

Kinco = Best value

Slytech race fortress have held up great for me for 5 yrs, think they are called Shred now?

Flylow oven mitts haven’t failed me yet

HAH yeah all you normies and ur dumb ass fuckin brands.

MINE were handsewn by my great grandfather and past down thru mulitple generations and still hold tight. I'm cooler then u

dakine and hestra

Colab gloves ! Karl is the man

Kincos - Ive been useing mine for 4 seasons now.

Showa Temres 282-02s

Unironically the best gloves for wet storm days in the Sierras/PNW. Like $24 on Go2Marine. Thank me later.

wells lamont and kincos have worked really well for me

i want to try some sovyrn ones at some point

I’ve had hestras for almost 5 years and they are holding up super well. Pricey but will last a really long time.

Wells Lamont or Hestra simple

+1 for Free the Powder. I have chronically cold hands, and these are the first non-down mittens I've found that can cut it for me in mildly cold temps. (

Absolute warmest I've ever used were Burton AK Oven Mitts. Full down insulation, including over the ends of your fingertips. Rode a morning in Mammoth at -12* F. Hands were shockingly toasty the whole time.

heard good things about Refrigiware gear in general

-27°F

BurritoAbsolute warmest I've ever used were Burton AK Oven Mitts. Full down insulation, including over the ends of your fingertips. Rode a morning in Mammoth at -12* F. Hands were shockingly toasty the whole time.

just want to add that ive heard nothing but good/warm things about burton AK oven mitts

if i had cold hands i'd get a nice thin liner glove to be put into a decent mitten. get it big and you can shove a handwarmer in there when the going gets tough. hard to imagine a situation you'd be too cold in with all that

Why are gloves such in the minority here? Maybe it's just me. Never liked mittens as a kid and that stayed with me. But I just always get what ever is on sale and fits my hand at the end of the year.

Can someone pin this thread for future reference

hoodratz47Why are gloves such in the minority here?

Because it's a thread about mittens.

No way ....

BurritoBecause it's a thread about mittens.

10 years ago Hestra made good stuff, now a days it's trash
