Gloves. You need to be able to articulate your fingers while riding.

 

This.

Mitts are warmer, but gloves are just easier all around.

 

wat do u need ur fingers for while riding? u may need ur hands sometimes, but i dont see u needing ur fingers. so i prefer mittens, as they keep ur fingers warmer.

strapping in
grabbing the board
changing the song on your ipod

 

both...i got the burton glove / mitten, where the inside is a glove so you can still strap in, the shell is a mitten that's waterproof. I prefer mittens as my fingers / hands get cold pretty easily, so being able to move them around helps. You can also hold handwarmers inside most mittens

this: Gore Mitt (True Black) Gloves by Burton - Burton Snowboards offers Burton Gore Mitt (True Black) Gloves at Buy Snow your source for snowboards

Which reminds me. I bought some handwarmers. How well can you use them with gloves. Are mittens much better? They seem to be a much warmer choice.

 

I prefer gloves but when it is really cold I wear mittens. I can pretty much do everything with mittens that I can with gloves.

 

I have Swany gloves and mittens. Rock the gloves on normal temp days and when it gets bitter cold I toss on the mitts. The gloves and mitts are the same style but the mitts are a hell of a lot warmer with all of your fingers in the same area and I have never had a problem with strapping in with mitts, grabbing the board or changing songs.

 

My hands get cold really easy. Hence, I wear these:

Oven mitts, FTW. All joking aside, I only wear gloves when it's really warm out (like spring conditions). My hands just get too cold otherwise.

 

are you a nazi?

 

gloves and mittens ordered for this season. I'll report back once i use them

 

I've always worn gloves b/c I actually need the finger dexterity. Tried mittens before but hated it and ended up giving them to a friend. They are warmer though.

 

Gloves yo...

 

mittens for cold powder days

gloves for spring type sessions

 

I wear mittens with pipe gloves underneath

 

Can't believe no one mentioned this design:

Or that particular glove in general

 

 

They are like Ninja Turtle gloves.
I usually stick with gloves. my hands get to sweaty with mittens. I was Raised Jay.

 

Mittens with glove liners, all the way. Gloves shouldn't effect the way you grab your board.

 

I read Jack London's "To Build a Fire" in high school. A man freezes to death alone in the Yukon because he's unable to make a lasting fire. One of his problems is that he lacks the necessary dexterity with his mittens on, but as soon as he removes them, his fingers stiffen up in the brutal cold and become useless. I remember thinking at the time that if only he had had a good pair of gloves, he might have survived. Gloves wouldn't have been enough for long-term warmth in those conditions, but they might have preserved decent finger movement long enough to work with matches, kindling, etc.

 

The men I ride with, all use gloves. The wives, girlfriends and most of the children use mittens.:dunno:

 

I'm still in the camp of owning both and making your own mind up. Last season was gloves. This season i bought better gloves and a nice set of mittens. Since i will be video taping i dont think the mittens are going to work out, but they sure do look spiffy.

 

Level Superpipe Gloves, and REI mittens for when it's REALLY cold. the REI ones have a down inside mitten and an outer Gore-Tex shell...I use that sometimes with glove liners inside.

Makes sure both have storm leashes.

 

Been rocking mittens with fingers in them since the early 90's.

 

I wasn't accounting for the Pinky Grab when I said that they shouldn't affect the way you grab. However, if you get enough air, and really float it, you can always do a mouth removal of the mitten on the way up and then proceed with the Pinky Grab. I haven't mastered it as of yet though.

 

gloves - and gloves with glove liners on the colder days ~-20C, havent been boarding in colder temps, but I'd prob opt for a better insulated glove - good circulation ftw!

 

I can't work my iPod with either, and mittens seem to keep your hands warmer. I can do most of the other things with either of them on anyways.
