Mittens

[radman46]

I need some mittens..not gloves..mittens. Anyone have any input? I walk my dogs in the cold, 0 to 25 degrees and gloves just are not doing the trick anymore. About the only thing that really gets cold on my body is my hands. Thanks for any help.

I swear by these. Incredibly warm, reasonably priced, well made, and a pattern that's unchanged for the better part of a century. I've been toasty in them down to -40.

I used to use these for climbing, still have a pair around somewhere.

I ride my mountain bike here to work in all four seasons - right through Winter if possible and the coldest I've done it in is -37C. And when it gets that cold, I pull out my best pair (of which i have a few) and they are the Pearl Izumi "lobsters". Supreme warmth.

Of course, they won't go with your B-3 or whatever …

I agree with StandBy that lobster mitts are great for cycling. What I use most though, for general Winter use, are fingerless gloves that convert into mittens. Some people refer to them as "glittens".

I have the "glttens" as you call them, pretty good, but not "dog walking in the middle of Canadian winter" warm. I wear leather, fleece lined mitts, similar to what Dinerman linked to, from a small leather shop in Ontario, Baiton's Old Mill. They don't have a website (the other Old Mill in Blyth does, the same town, same family, split off because of family feud, long story...) Here's their info https://shoplocalnow.ca/facebook/ad/64288/canadian-made-leather-products-at-bainton-s-old-mill

I think they were $20-25.

Hestra Three finger Gloves. Super warm, super durable. I ski 35-45 days a year, often in temps 10-20 below zero F, and these keep me pretty darn warm. I am on my fourth season with them, and that's saying alot, as I am tough on ski gear.

I have a pair of selbuvotter which my grannie-in-law knitted me and I love them. Used them all the time over winter in Norway and they'll be brought out again next month when we move back there.
