Winter dropped some more snow on us yesterday morning (East Coast, United States). It may be a good time to hunt
around for a warmer pair of gloves. I found an interesting winter gear guide to
help keep our digits a bit warmer. Now we are stuck with the age old question,
“should I go with gloves or mittens?” Obviously there are pros and cons to
both. If you are stricktly going for “warmth”, I would lean toward mittens.
If you are like me and interested in researching “warm” winter gear, you may
want to check the guide links below for the Active Junky website.

I have my eye on the following two items to keep my fingers warm, but not yet
fully decided. Sure, I hope to get this figured out before spring.
Burton GoreTex Mitt

On storm days nothing beats GORE-TEX®. It’s no surprise since WL Gore invented
the concept of waterproof/breathable fabrics, but that technical cred is why we
lined the Burton GORE-TEX® Leather Mitt with his GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY®
invention. Combined with Thermacore™ insulation, it’s a one-two punch that will
keep hands warm and dry even if it’s snowing sideways. The grippy and durable
genuine leather Gnar Guard palm includes Screen Grab® enabled thumb and index
finger panels for touchscreen control without exposing your hands to the cold.
Excursion Glove DAKINE
http://www.dakine.com/w/snowboard/mens Dakine is an American outdoor
clothing company specializing in sportswear and sports equipment for alternative
sports. Founded in Hawaii, the name comes from the Hawaiian Pidgin word "da kine"
(derived from "the kind"). Now based in Oregon, the company also sponsors team
riders from the lifestyle and sporting fields of skiing, snowboarding, and other
activities.
