Hey, lost my old ski gloves at the end of last season so picking up a new pair on Amazon.
Hestra’s seem to be the highest recommended but it’s hard to justify spending over 100 on a pair of gloves.
Wondering if anyone can recommend a good pair for around 70 that arn’t bulky?

Depends what you mean by thin - the best deal in ski gloves period is the Kinco 901 ( or Tim @ snowshepherd.com enhanced "copies" but I deffo wouldn't call them or most Hestras thin.
For spring gloves a winter cycling glove or Decathlon's fiver pairs are pretty good.

In recent years I've been picking gloves from the ice climbing racks. In Snowdonia we have two Joe Brown stores and the Cotswold end of line shop. Climbing gloves tend not to be bulky and are particularly hard wearing. May be worth a trawl online.

I've got some Extremities gloves which I use when it's not below zero or snowing. I think they are the sticky windy's! Nice that the air flows through them as my hands get hot. I've used them for about 12 weeks and they are still just about holding on. It doesn't matter if they're not waterproof if you don't get them wet. Sometimes they get water on them in spring conditions when I'm picking my skis up but they dry quickly.

You know it makes sense.

For spring skiing I had some Hestra Czone gloves. Lost them so will probably replace them with the same this coming season.
For colder weather I have the Hestra Army Leather mitts.

Been using some Burton AK tech leather gloves this season. Very thin and light and surprisingly warm and dry. Paid $100 kiwi for them, so about 50 of your european pesos for a pair.

Mountan Equipment Randonee all the way for me. My Hestra's couldn't compete with the comfort of a pile lining. Much dryer than a Goretex lined glove due to the breathability.
