Need advice on some good spring mitts, I'm going to may pass at hood and only have heavy winter mitts at the moment. Looking for something lightweight and waterproof so I don't have soggy hands at all times.

I have the Every day mitt by POW gloves and it’s fucking awesome for spring riding. Highly recommend them

I use my flylow oven mitts in all conditions and my hands have stayed dry
edit: my hands get cold really easy so this glove works for me but might be too warm for ya

on first glance and even second and third time I read the thread I read this like a pack of cigarettes and think of someone with tiny hands just wearing to packs with the celes on for waterproofing. thinking someone will respond and say no not those for spring time you gotta get the Armada Carmel Windstopper Light special blends or some shit

OP don't smoke cigs and just rock Kincos until it is too warm for mitts and then get some unlined leather gloves from the hardware store

It's spring so literally any shitty light weight non-leather glove or mitten will work. All leather Kincos are impermeable in my experience but the moisture is unnoticeable until you take them off. Probably too warm for spring though. Unless you're continually sticking your hands in the snow, your mitts shouldn't get wet unless your gloves/mitts aren't letting sweat moisture out.

I usually just wear my Kincos until it's warm enough to toss on a pair of running gloves or nothing at all
