Wife's hands get cold (mittens help)...
Looking for a mitten, which must have some internal fingers.
I've searched: people like Hestra (big bucks), Cabelas gauntlets (cheaper). Marmot Randonee ski mitt is out because of no internal fingers.
Questions
Do the Hestra's mittens have internal slots for fingers?
Has anyone tried the Black Diamond Mercury mitten for skiing?
Any other suggestions?Aggressive in my own mind

why do you need the internal fingers? i don't get that concept as it seems to defeat the purpose of mittens in the first place. anyway, burton makes some nice mitts w/ the internal fingers.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Yeah, I think the internal fingers are a compromise offering better feel than a mitten, but more warmth than a glove.
It's her personal preference, which is hard to argue with.
I have a pair of the Burton's and they work well for me. She didn't like the Burton mitts that she tried.

cayenne pepper on her fingers should help increase blood flow.
sprinkle lightly

Cloudveil mitts have internal fingers - checkout the Enclosure, Chopper, or BlackIce depending on warmth necessary. www.cloudveil.com

Thanks Tap.
You are right. I have heard of that, mainly for the feets, though.
May use that as a last resort for the hands, as I can think of some interesting
consequences from putting pepper on the hands.

Tougher to find, but have her try a 3-finger mitt like these.
My wife also had problems with gloves and cold hands, and mittens were too clumsy. She's been using a trigger mitt shell and a fleece innerglove and has been good down to 0F.
I'll find out what brand/model she's using and let you know tomorrow.

Yeah TomK, that Black Diamond Mercury Mitten has a 3 finger primaloft liner inside a standard mitten shell. I am leaning that way, but wondered if there were very bulky or not.
I suck at the internet, otherwise I would post a pic of those mitts (with liner removed).

Swany mittens have internal finger dividers. And a heater pocket. My only problem is that I wish they went higher up on my wrists.
I've been looking for new mittens, but can't find any good ones with heater pockets this year."Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "Wow, what a Ride!"

Right-click on the picture you want, pull up "properties", highlight the "Address (URL)" and hit CNTL + C.
Come back to your post, and enter {img} CNTL+V {/img}
Replace the curley brackets {} with square brackets []

There used to be a glove called Lunarmitts, that had fingers in the mitten. Warmest ghings I ever had for my hands for skiing. I don't think they are still around though.

Is your mind blown yet? If so, sprinkling a little cayenne pepper on it should do the trick.

It's available on the Firefox browser, but there's a registry tweek needed to add it to Internet Exploder 6 or 7 and I would not feel comfortable directing folks to go poking around in thier PC's registry. Things in there break often enough just from adding and removing programs as it is.Good runs when you get them.

There's a band you can buy which goes on the writs and is intended to open the blood vessels and capillaries into the hand, making it warmer. Supposed to work pretty well.

^ agreed.
the swany toasters (leather ones are about 100$) are the most amazing mittens!
really warm, really durable, and just generally awesome.Spread Stoke
Being stoked is a state of mind. How do you achieve it?
