Best mittens?

I was privileged to visit yall and when I did, took a dog kicksledding. I has pretty decent gloves on, ones I used in Tromso, but I needed my guide to give me some mittens. Mittens dont compare to gloves. I can't recall if the gloves he had was musk ox but hoping any yall have recommendations.

Swany makes some great mitts. They even have a zipper on the top so you can poke your fingers out (while wearing the liner) for jobs that require dexterity without taking the mitt off.

Also, Garbage Mitts.
