Because they're mittens and mittens are warmer than gloves.

I also have dakine mittens which have served me well for a few seasons.

Slytech race mitten. Warm, very durable, can smack your knuckles into stuff and not get hurt. No brainer for me as I need my hands to function for work. Not cheap but they have held up as I’d expect for the cost.

What do you consider "very cold"? My Kinco gloves easily keep my fingers warm down to about 5F, and are questionable below zero. I'm a person who's fingers would regularly go numb before I got goose down mittens and then eventually discovered Kinco due to this site.

In general though, unless you've got heated gloves, all will likely struggle below zero, but mittens are to go to for any super cold days imo.

I would recommend Leathers, super warm, super high quality, and independently owned. You really cant beat them if your a skier.

Suprised a lot of dakine hype. Mine started pulling apart on the seams between the fingers and they get pretty 'airy' when it is cold. Still wear them, but I need to either bug them about it to try an cop new ones, or find a different brand.

If they held up longer than 20 days or so, I'd be a huge fan.

I had some hestra mitts that lasted me 3 years, but now they're packed out and can't hold water proofing treatment very well. I'll probably get another pair next season tbh

Seams between fingers? Are you talking about mittens or gloves?

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Head to your local Hardware store
2. Pick up a pair of Kinco insulated work gloves
3. Watch your style automatically improve
4. Never have cold hands again

Oh yeah, but a great mitt for that price. Super warm and durable, them being so cheap means its never a bad idea to grab a few pairs if you can.

Checked out all the leads but was reading that leather gloves are high maintenance and I'm done with high maintenance so pretty set on the crab claw gloves. Plus their cheap and can always buy something else if they're not warm enough. Thanks again for the tipd.

https://ski.kinco.com/901.html And https://www.kinco.com/product/1927kw the ski version is a bit warmer, I usually wax the thinner ones for water/fuel-proofing. Use em for work in the arctic/antarctic and skiing on my time off. I go through about 1 pair/year but if I was just using them for skiing they’d probably last much longer
