I'm looking to change from gloves to mittens. The Burton Oven seems to be a great mitten, but I don't like wearing my jacket sleeve over the glove cuff...makes it too hard to get the glove off and back on, which I tend to do a lot. I want a warm mitten that has a wrist leash (so they just hang there when they're off) and will cinch up OVER my jacket cuff. Anybody know of any good ones like that?

Level Half Pipe Mitt Xcr. Larger cuff with a pull string. Wrist lease you don't notice when on you hand. Built in wrist guard that you can remove if you wish. Removable glove type liner. Gore-tex. Kevlar tip and thumb. I'm on my third season of the glove version and they still look almost brand new.

My reccomendation is the Dakine Element Mitts. They have all of the features you are looking for, plus they're super warm and waterproof. Mine are on their third season and still going strong.

I just copped a pair of Dakine Titan Mitts and they are the BEES KNEES!!! I have the shittiest circulation in America and even these mitts kept my hands nice and toasty in pretty cold conditions. They are Gore-Tex (can't get more waterproof than that) and at $65.00, they are probably the most affordable for what they do.

A lot of these gloves are very similar - Dakine, Burton, North Face, etc. all have/had them in various color schemes, either as finger gloves or mittens or both. They all come from the same manufacturer/sourcing company in China.

Pretty decent gloves/mittens actually. Not the longest lasting, but pretty decent quality overall. Enough insulation for the milder days and when it gets colder you can wear the liners inside them. Gauntlet is nice and long enough to keep the pow out. Good thing about GoreTex is that even if the liners (which are normally not water or wind proof) get wet, the moisture will evaporate through the breathable GoreTex layer.

the liners with e tips are nice. I would avoid the white version of the gloves recommended above. Saw a video yesterday of skier caught in an avalanche, they were able to find his red glove barely sticking out above the snow and get to him faster. With a white glove they might not have seen his hand and who knows how long it would have taken them to find him.
