Hi Bobby,

I read somewhere that mittens are far warmer than gloves. So I bought some for about £40. They looked great in black with logos and all! I used them for a couple of dry ski runs, but found I couldn't move my fingers that well, as PP says. But the worse thing was when you take them off, the inners tend to get hot and sweaty, and stick to your hand as you pull them off. Then when you try to get them back on it is a nightmare! Not the frustration you need when desperate to get out ...

Not the frustration you need when desperate to get out on the snow! So back to gloves for me. I just hope they are ok for -20 degrees!!
