Want a new pair of gloves as duck tape on the old starting to look very didgy. Want something waterproof so when i am in fifty foot of powder digging myself out (or that may be just in the car park after a week of snow!) my hands will stay dry. budget around 30 squiddleys. What say the wise people?

flog873347, TK-Max have some good quality gloves for around the £30/35 pounds . I purchased a very nice pair of Reusch gloves in there last week.

flog873347, as riverman says at that pricepoint TK-Max is pretty good. If you know someone with a Costco membership they have Head gloves for under £20.

If you can stretch to £50 edge and wax will (unless they've sold out) seel you a pair of discounted Hestras which will both look sexy and last for years. Maybe even keep you warm and dry too. Maybe.

Love my Hestra Alpine Pro Skicross gloves I picked for for about €50 on the EoSB, don't like big bulky gloves so these are just perfect. If you can manage another twenty quid and can find some Hestras for £50 you won't be dissapointed. But as has been said if £30 really is your top end Tacky M or Costco certainly the way to go!

The ones stuck with duck tape are the head from Costco bought in the states 5 years ago for $20 bucks - at the time about a tenner. Will check out the Hestra / reusch. Any one know about sealskinz??

My sealskinz have failed between index finger & thumb on both sides. Presume this is from carrying skis. It's just where skis 'nip' together when being carried. The heavy-duty patching isn't extensive enough in this area for skiing gloves. When I first got them they felt ace but they are going to be relegated to cycling and I'm going to by something else for this winter. Only used for about 10-12days so not recommended.

I vote for the Hestras as well

It's not just a question of which, but also of how.

TKMax had Level & Reusch gloves when I looked last week, both good stuff.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; whatever you get make sure they have inners and a lanyard

Hestras if you want the real branded deal, goretex lined deerskin workman gloves if you're core (very popular with patrollers)

Do mitts or 3-finger gloves make a big difference in warmth over standard 5-finger gloves (thinking in particular about the Hestra Army Leather variants of these)?
I've never worn mitts before and so I can't appreciate the benefit in warmth vs loss in finger dexterity.

Yep mitts and 3 fingers are warmer and while obviously a bit clumsier well fitting ones won't hamper you too much. My hands tend to run hot so I much prefer proper gloves all the time but my kids will go with gloves on warmer days and mitts on the colder ones.
