Gloves/Mittens - Are they worth the price tag?
So I need a new pair of gloves. I do snowboard, but I need them for daily tasks as well, driving and snowblowing the driveway.
My hands are sensitive and get cold fairly easy. Mittens are generally warmer so I am fine with those. Being on the East coast we can get frigid temps in the -30C and less with windchills.
I see these gloves ranging from $30 to onwards of $250+.. is the price tag worth it? Some of these much more expensive ones also look way too bulky which would render daily tasks useless and nearly impossible. I saw a Hestra pair at sport check their a 3 finger style mitten $190 which seemed to have a decent amount of flexibility and still allowing my to grab and move my hand around.
I don't mind spending the cash as long as they actually work and keep my hands warm - I don't want to spend my money to carry some sort of label around if they are worthless in actually keeping my hands warm. https://www.sportchek.ca/product/331632 ... NwodohwHxg
What are you guys recommendations? Anyone have experience with this make of particular mittens? I'm sure there is folks out there that do some sort of extreme winter activities and have had decent gloves/mittens.
