Alright I had some really cheap dakine mittens that kept my hands really awesomely warm but they are destroyed after many repair jobs and plus I kinda didnt like have to take my mittens off to do little things, so im trying to get a pair of gloves for colder weather (like summit county cold to me). My hands typically get colder than most peoples so I dont mind dropping cash to get good product that makes me happy.

Heres what Im deciding between feel free to list anything else but please dont list anything that is form over function as I already have many a park gloves to look stylish in:

1) Seth 3 finger:

2) Seth all fingers:

3) Mad Max black diamond:

4) Pow gloves:

Im kinda worried that the pow gloves wont hold up as my last pair of pow gloves were awesome while they lasted got really wrecked and didnt dry out on the inside too good which is important to me if Im touring or something.

Also can anyone compare the 3 finger to all finger seth morrisons, im kinda leaning towards the 3 just for that extra coldness guard and my dad has some BD 3 finger gloves I used a bit last time I saw him and they were swag.

Why is this site so shitty in terms of people who code it? I swear it would take me literally 5 minutes to sit down with the NS code and make it so the hyperlinks arent fucking retarded. If you post a link, it shouldnt be a chore to make it work, it just should. Is NS hiring goons who went to ITT tech for their comp sci degree or something?

i have the seth 3 fingers and they're amazing. they feel and perform exactly like a super high quality glove should. the other day i had them hanging by the idiot straps for a bit of a run and they filled up with snow. i put them on and by the end of my next run all of the extra moisture had breathed out of the gloves and they were dry and warm for the rest of the day. i can wear them while waiting for someone in the lodge without my hands getting hot and i can wear them without liners in 0 degree F weather without getting cold. I cant really recommend them over the other gloves you were looking at as i have never used them, but the seth pros were exactly what i wanted in a glove, and are worth every penny. I'm sure the 3 fingers are a bit warmer than the 5, but i cant imagine it really makes a huge difference. however i have found there is almost no practical application to being able to move those 3 fingers independently. my only complaint is that they're just a tad harder to get on than i think the need to be.

Alright awesome thanks. Is the sizing pretty true on them/hestra gloves in general?
