Best gloves for kiting

[or6]

Hi all,

Our winter season has started, and I find myself with cold hands again. I'm using open palmed gloves, because all of the closed gloves I have used in the past made my underarms cramp up.

So, which gloves do you use, and how do they work for you?

The three fingered firebomb gloves, discussed in the zipless wetsuit thread got me thinking again...I love my ripcurl booties.

Looking forward to some input, regards, or6.

I’m going for three-finger mitten this winter here in Denmark. So far so good..

- Mesh helps for windchill but the durability is shorter.
- Thickness helps, but to much gives cramp.
- Gloves with bended fingers helps an lot for cramps in de underarms

I always go for a mesh glove or mitten where the fingers are bend.

The NPX mitten is the most warm glove I've had.

Thx guys, some useful information. I think I'll look into getting my hands on these NPX mittens.

Still sceptical, though. I had some preformed claw mittens....last winter. Gave me cramps in half an hour.

Thx! If I find a glove to love, I'll let you know.

Latest Pro Limits are well used here but never really cold.

Awsome gloves, but they erode quickly. I had holes in them after one season, patched them up with neoprene cement, used them end of this year and time for more patching. That being said, they are worth the effort to patch up.
