Man, I would love a pair of Hestra gloves/mitts. I prefer mitts when it gets below 20. My fingers get too cold. Biggest drawback of mitts though, as mentioned above, is dealing with that darn pole strap. I have mine as wide as it will go. My husband just bought some new Dakine GoreTex insulated gloves that have an zipper on the back of the hand to insert a heat pack.
I do that too. I wear mittens and wish a company would think of putting extra insulation in the thumb. It's a little thing that would make a big difference.I do find that I have to tuck my thumbs into the main part of the mitten on really cold chair rides
I also put the heat warmers straight into the mitten (while wearing liners, obviously, not directly next to the skin) rather than in the pocket, which is too far back. Another problem that'd be easy to fix: manufacturers, put the heat pocket over the fingers!
Ooh, that pocket placement does look perfect. Thanks for the tip.Hi @teppaz , check out Eddie Bauer Lexi mittens https://www.eddiebauer.com/p/71600184/women's-lexi-mitt?sp=1&color=Black . The zipper pocket allows you to push heater packs down to the finger tips (which is what I always do). Other advantages include a big/long enough zipper opening to allow you to poke out a finger to use a phone if need be. The liners have the touch-screen fabric on the index fingertips. They also have sturdy leashes and a goggle wipe on the thumbs.
