Yeah I'm planning on buying these gore-tex mitts for $26 :
On Sale Burton Goretex Snowboard Mittens Black Heather Diamond up to 55% off
They're %30 off that price in cart and then another 5% off total with a coupon.
The thing about base layers is that you won't even get wet when you sweat. I've read that when you wear cotton and sweat, it just gets trapped and you end up freezing when it comes into contact with the cold air. Same thing with non-breathable gloves/mitts.
I know it's not the end of the world if I just wear a regular hoodie, but if I can get some for a good deal I'm gonna give it a try.
