3-Finger (lobster) glove recommendations

[SarahXC]

I use the Nikwax product.

Ok, that's such a good endorsement---sorry you have to deal with raynuads, but if the Flylows work for you with your fingers that's a solid proof!

I love them. I still need to add hand warmers on cold days. I start with hand warmers every day but many times they get too hot with these and put them in my pockets until I need them again. I just love the dexterity of a 3 finger glove. The leather is super soft. I have some backup black diamond mercury mitts in case my hands really shut down. I haven't needed these as much since getting these. I am pretty hard on them. I had to get a new pair after 2 seasons but I also ski a lot. I am on new pair this year so much warmer but my old pair had holes. I now use those for chopping wood and outside chores.

Updating to say that the mittens I ordered on Friday morning arrived in PA (from Park City, UT) yesterday!

I measured 7.5" around my hand, which put me exactly halfway between S and M sizes on their size chart. I ordered the medium, and I do have extra room (just about 1/2" of space above my pointer finger, and at least an inch in width across my palm). While I probably also could fit into the size Small, I'm keeping the Mediums, in hopes that the extra space = extra warmth.

I leave on Feb 2nd for our trip to VT, so these will get packed in hopes of some nice freezing conditions in the East for a proper try out.

Any updates on your gloves? I just ordered a pair of the SX Pro and curious to hear about the warmth. I always ski in mittens because of cold hands but have been on the hunt for toasty warm gloves.

You guys are really selling me on the Free the Powder, but my Hestra trigger mitts are hot pink, and these are just black I want some bold colors!

You can get coloured shoe wax and leather paint if absolutely necessary...

I've been very happy with my Free the Powder gloves and mittens. They have a lobster claw too. There's an extra layer of leather in the high wear areas (exactly where my Hestra gloves disintegrated.)

I just sadly had a frozen index fingers…it was blustery and single digits though. Otherwise, I love the Free the Powder.
