Mittens are one option to keep your hands warm, but which are truly the best.
It can be tough to find ski mittens that will keep your hands warm while skiing, compared to many other mittens on the market that aren't meant for skiing.
Putting the gloves vs mittens debate aside, you want mittens that are functional and will keep your hands warm from start to finish, every day.
Some skiers believe strongly that mittens keep their hands warm better than gloves, especially those people that are always cold.
We asked people that go skiing all the time for their best mitten recommendations.
