Salmon Arms classic mitts up here in the great white north all winter long great to -25c for me. Then Ak leather tech mitts in the spring.

i run the Crab Grab Cinch mitts when it gets chilly. fleecey on the inside for extra toastiness.

Gordini, this will solve all your needs for under 50 bucks

After I broke my wrist (not snowboarding-related), I've been wearing the Level Biomex Mittens. Don't add too much bulk and have a great wrist-guard system that is not what you've usually seen in the past.

I'm all in on Hestra right now because that's what Ive been able to buy locally.
I have a couple pairs of Hestra job mittens. They're sturdy but one pair the left one is slimmer than the right. Doesn't bother me though cause i sized up to make room for bulky liners.

My favorite is the heli line. I have a pair of the trigger mittens. I chose them to be able to use the shifter and brakes more easily when riding my bike.

When it's not crazy cold i use the Wakayama gloves.

kinco mitts and packet of nikwax

I like kincos, they only last 1 season but only costs me $20

I would really like a kevlar (or something heavy duty) overmitten

Definitely gauntlet style, but ones that go under the jacket. Oh yeah, I don't get that either. The whole we put finger guardrails within your mitten is weird. I was looking at the B oven mittens that @michaelangelo suggested but read they have the same finger interior.

OMG you must run so hot. I can only use my classic mitts on warmer days like -1, 0 days.

I've been a Burton clutch guy for most of the winter, with some sort of mitt for really cold days. Recently I found Burton goretex mitts were cheap but warm.
This year I picked up some 686 gloves but haven't used them much. Their medium is a touch smaller than a Burton medium out of the box but I think they will break in nicely.

I wish I liked Kincos, but I really hate my gloves. I overheat, they inevitably get sopping wet from snow and sweat, and I hate those elastic cuffs. Maybe the mitts are better. The only time I ever use them is for heavy duty yard work or on tow ropes.
