I know the whole “core” thing is really over the top sometimes with people tryna be core head to toe, but what are some good skier owned companies making warm mitts? Im gloves are thrashed and don’t do anything to keep my hands warm, reccomend me some ill stuff?

I have a few pairs of Grep gloves which i kinda love. Amazingly warm and comfterble, siccckkk looks however they fall apart in about 40-50 days. I feel like getting “core” gloves matter allot less than core skis because most core clothing will just be made in a sweatshop overseas much like grep.

If core means skier/family owned then Hestra.

If quality then also hestra.

Kinco's are fucking trash, but will work fine if you like cold hands and stiff fucking gloves with zero dexterity. Come at me, I've been down that road long before NS picked up on the trend.

Love my kinco gloves. Can't beat em for under $20 and I'm warm unless it gets below 10f. I got swany mittens for when it's actually cold

I haven't heard anything about them in a while so I'm not totally sure if they still actually make mitts but Pimp Hands used be be the dopest glove brand.

Kinco is local Oregon company. They hook up ski area employees with a deal too. 901ts are legit. I wear them almost every day I ski.

I use kinco axemen with snoseal on them and they stay warm and dry. Accidentally cut one open on a knife and replaced them at the hardware store that night for less than I spent on dinner. Insulated and I legit never get cold with them. Obv not as nice as hestras or something expensive but replaceability is definitely a pro.

Flylow Oven Mitts are the same price as shitty kincos and are like 100x better, Black Diamond makes a pretty sweet leather mitt thats cheap, POW has good gloves, and if you want a mitt thats for sure going to last you a few seasons, drop some more money on some fall line mitts. Pricey but I loved mine before they fell apart on me.

and my GF gave me a pair of these saga mitts she got for free from work and for a mostly non-leather mitt, they're pretty sweet.

Pretty sure the flylows are just rebranded, snow sealed, marked up kincos

Just get Kinco's the reason Session was complaining about how they're stiff is because he didn't break them in. My friend literally just got a pair of kinco's stiff as shit I rolled them up (separatly) as tightly and firmly as I can front wards and backwards then smacked them around. And they're almost as buttery as my Black Diamonds I've been wearing all season. Just treat them like a new baseball glove stiff at first but once you beaten them in you can't beat it.
