my mittens wore out and I need a new pair. I have reynauds syndrome (when hands get slightly cold and fingers lose circulation) so I need like a REALLY warm pair. Also they need to be leather obv. Lmk some good mittens that I should get and price really isn’t a factor here. Also none of that electric heated mittens or liners bullshit. Thanks
 
Kincos + sno-seal if you're in the $40 range, Hestra leather mittens if money really isn't a concern. If you run extra cold, go on amazon and buy some merino wool glove liners (can usually get good quality for $20 - $30) and wear them under your mitts. Might need to go one size larger on the mittens to do this but they usually don't add too much volume - but trust me they'll make a big difference!
 
Love my Wells Lamonts. They have gotten me through many days -10 and colder.

I too have been on the kincos wave for a while. Mine were used when I was a lifty and are super warm and burly, but their waterproofing runs out ~twice a season so make sure you invest in some leather glove wax (nikwax or similar) and they’ll be fine. Some of them have built in finger separators tho so double check before ya buy em if you decide to go the route of getting separate liners too
 
Check out Leathers, super premium, solid pricing, and they are a freeski brand so you really cant go wrong with that either.
 
Colab Brand sells a few different mitts that would work well. Cold Lap and Lift Lap are both super warm and comfy. Also you'll be sup[porting a rider owned company
 
I Had them last time and they wore out hella quick even tho I took care of them and the cheap cuffs that help them stay on your arm broke in like half a day

Kinco's aren't warm, they especially aren't warm for someone with Reynaud's. Stop being moron's.

Ah well shit cuz I ordered them this morning ? they were like 30 bucks anyway so not a huge deal but I’m really not sure what to do here even my 150g gloves last season really didn’t help at all

yeahn you should get some hestras. they are probaby the warmest and best quality out there. just don't get boxing mitt. they are the shittier hestras out there, even though they are hella warm.

Eh it's not a waste. They'll probably be okay for some Colorado days, but definitely not all of them. At least you'll look sick out there with some kincos when you wear em.

A hundred times this. You shouldn't have to add a shit ton of sno-seal to a product to make it good for skiing.
 
hestra wakayama are the shit. comes with a detachable inner liner and better looking than the other mitts they do
 
Fuck yeah, I skied a couple days -25F with those. Love them to death.

I have a similar issue and got pointed toward Free the Powder gloves by the TGR crowd. They're surprisingly affordable for their quality, and they specifically call out the fact that they put more insulation in their gloves than most brands. Beyond that I have ridden in a pair of Burton AK Oven Mitts (down insulated) on sub-zero days, and they're by far the warmest mittens I've ever worn.
 
The warmest gloves I own are a pair of kincos that I cut the liner out of and swapped with a pair of wool mitts that my mom knit for me. Stitched them in at the tip of the fingers and bust them out whenever it gets below 0ºF. Every other day I use a pair of these which are fine for most days but are probably not what you want if you have Reynauds.

These bitches are warm. Kind of mitts that have made me so hot I have to take them off on the lift on a 0 degree day

Yeah I got Hester’s mittens for 150 they r worth every pennie. So comfy and warm
 
Might be surprising but Columbia. I bought Columbia mittens with the omni-heat technology and probably the warmest gloves Ive ever owned. In about 0 degrees (Fahrenheit) my hands were sweating.
