I bought my Gordini gloves last winter and they are nice.

My monocular is 6x 30mm, off Amazon, cheap and super clear, by Roxtant.

i bought the cheapest shit in decathlon.
some novadry or whatever.

no issues altho cleaning it is a hassle. you have to put it in a dryer to keep it waterproof and the membranes clean.

My hands get hot as shit as soon as i start doing anything, so i cant stand proper winter gloves. I use a polartec power stretch glove and when im static i stick some cheeky down mitts on top

It gets cold here in Michigan. I wear boxers, then wool long johns, then a pair of sweat pants for extra insulation, then my polyester hunting pants that are water proof and wind proof. When I'm doing hard word like splitting wood and building camp, I will take off my hunting pants, because I want to breathe and not trap sweat. Then when I cool off and get cold I put them back on.

About Mittens:
First of, yes they are warmer than gloves of similar thickness and quality since you have less surface exposed to the elements and that your fingers will "share" their heat.

Now, you will always need thick gloves/mittens for serious winter for when you are inactive and these will have bad dexterity. The most versitile solution that I used during a course on winter-outdoor activities is to layer your gloves - just like you do with the rest of your clothes:

* Thin, moisture-transporting (not cotton) gloves with good dexterity. You will keep these on all the time. They should not be loose but not too tight either, as this will reduce blood flow which will give you cold hands anyway!

* Insulative, warm wool or fleece gloves/mittens

* A shell outer-glove/mitten. These are thin and should be wind- and waterproof/resistant. Mine are thin goretex mittens.

It should be noted that this solution is for hardcore winter or arctic use but the principles can be applied in milder conditions. It is also normal to just have one glove/mitten that both acts as your shell-glove and insulative glove - that could be just about any thick one with room inside for an inner-glove - Then you just dont have the ability to use your inner-gloves with only your shell, say in conditions with high, cold wind but also psysical activity.

Question:

How do you avoid frostbite on your nose when sleeping in teens/single digits with no option to have a heater? I usually put a hat on and a blanket that covers my eyes, then zip the bag up to over my mouth, so just my nose and a strip of cheek is exposed. But I don't want to lose my nose, guys. If I put the whole blanket over my nose entirely then one I'll get condensation in the bag and two I will breathe in a lot of carbon dioxide. Would a facemask or something help? What do you do when your teeth and eyes hurt from the cold? Thanks.

Are you from the south? Teens or single digit weather is nothing. You sound like a pussy. Let me know when you go /out/ in -50 after wind chill.

Nigger unless you're from alaska or northern canada you're a dick-jerking sack of condescension.

Kinco Ski mitts are a great value. Wore them all last season at Mammoth, it's what the ski patrollers wear so I figured they must be decent. $30 on Amazon

You could get a merino balaclava, usually thin enough to breathe through. For really cold conditions you could get a neoprene ski mask.

Also for pants, it depends on what you're doing. You can get by without waterproof pants if you're just walking, any synthetic fabric. If the snow is deep wear waterproof gaiters (gore-tex if you can afford it, though I saw some non-gore ones on Amazon for cheap) with waterproof shoes. The very dirtbag option, which works ok, is to wear sneakers with gallon zip-loc bags over your socks. Some inexpensive long underwear is Uniqlo heattech - I wore it on the PCT, super soft and warm though perhaps not the lightest weight.

I don't know what hunters require, but if you're sitting around and getting dug in ofc you'll need waterproof stuff.

Nice, thanks for the recommendations.

I usually just wear a pair of pants under my Carhartt bibs. When I'm hiking in since to do work I just put them in the sled I'm tossing behind me. If I'm skiing any appreciable difference I wear wool longjohns with a pair of shorts over the top.
