FA: Extreme cold weather mittens
"Cowboy67" wrote in news:bv9jkn$3cga
: I'm not really a mitten type, but this does raise a question - What are the warmest gloves for boarding? I've got 2 pairs of Burton and they are crap. The only good thing is the extra long sleeve. I have a pair of heavy gloves from EMS with some high tech filling that is pretty warm (even when wet), but they dont have a long enough sleeve so you end up with very cold wrists. Given I've been riding in -10F or so conditions part of this winter in VT, I'd really like some warmer gloves! |

FA: Extreme cold weather mittens
Get something big enough to be able to fit more insulation
underneath. I wear a pair of shell mittens (no insulation), and simply add layers depending on how cold it is. Just like dressing for any other part of the body. Same here. Baka, if memory serves from Bomber posts, you use OR Mt Baker mitts, same ones I do. The outer shell on those puppies is extremely waterproof. The only way moisture gets in is if you don't cinch up the wrist pull and get snow in, or if you take them off and get snow in. The inner liner that came with them is very warm, in fact I only use them on very cold days. On warmer days I use a thin glove liner. Mike T |

Yep, the OR Mt Baker mitts, and yep, the removable liner that comes with them is *really* warm, and yep, most days I just use a pair of thin polypro glove liners under them. -- These mittens have a removable liner insert and I guarantee that they are 10 times warmer than the commercial brand.. |
