Ski Mittens vs Ski Gloves?

Ski Mittens were always the choice for warmth - put on some thermal inners for the really nippy days and your fingers were sorted.  But technology has moved on and the gloves are coming up for a photo finish.  Although you do pay for what you get - but you won't rue spending those extra pennies for the protection and warmth from the superior fabrics available today.  Things to consider when buying your ski gloves:

• Fabric: look for Gore Tex ® , Thermolite®,  Primaloft®,  Hyperloft™
• Dryness: from the outside in - but also the inside out - sweaty fingers soon cause dampness inside gloves.
• Length: you don't want a gap between your cuff and glove starting (with kids really beware of this!)...  Look for long easily tightened gauntlets to keep the snow out.
• Mittens - O'Neill have a couple of designs with a 'forefinger' or finger zip opening which are ideal for adjusting clothing, getting the camera out etc without taking your mitts off. (Look at the Entrance or Unicorn Mittens)
