Where are some good flop-top gloves to be found on the 'net?

My dog chewed up the right hand glove of 1 pair of flop-tops, and I lost the right hand glove of another pair of them, and so I cannot make a pair with the two lefties I have left. And, all the local sporting goods stores just have spring/turkey/light clothing stocked at the moment.

So, I'm looking for a high-quality pair of "flop-top" glove/mittens, very thick and warm, withOUT the separate finger for trigger finger - I want the top to be a full 4-finger single mitten, but WITH a zippered pouch on the back of the mitten top for putting in chemical hand warmers.

The ones I've found have either the zippered pouch for the handwarmers down on the back of the hand, not up on the finger mitten tops where it's needed, or have a separate finger for the shooting finger (which defeats the whole point of flop-tops - if you're gonna have a separate finger to shoot with, you don't need the flop top), or both.

Websites, brands, models, etc.? Thanks. Ideally fleece or wool with a water resistant outer shell.

Cabelas had a pair for 5 bucks a while back in their bargain bin; no zipped warmer holder, though. I bought a pair to put me over the 99 dollar mark for free shipping...so essentially they were free.
 
I have bought my last two pair at Wallyworld.
Gates brand name.

No zipper, just a stuff-it pocket & magnet flap hold-opens.

But they are far & away the warmest gloves I ever owned.

And at $9.00 bucks you can afford to use them for dog chew-toys.

I also got some at Wally's.

Mine sound a bit different that RCs - mine don't have magnets, just velcro.

They are ragg wool, lined with fleece. Very quiet opening, not so much closing them back up. The upside is that the velcro is about gone on them though. Very, very warm. (Sometimes too warm it seemed honestly.) I used them this year - at times when it was below zero.

They were somewhere around $9 too.
 
Got a pair from Dicks Sporting Goods. They didn't have a pocket for hand warmer, so I asked the wife to sew one on the inside of the flop top. Never needed a warmer, I usually sit with the tops back. Magnetic retention to keep the flop back.
 
Thanks all; keep the recs coming please. On the pouch for the hand warmer, it does not necessarily have to have a zipper - it can have just a overhanging slip-in opening; that's fine. But it needs to be up on the fingers area. Don't have anyone in the house who knows how to sew at this time....
 
Tad, you can do that one yourself. It isn't support much weight, so as long as you puncture both the piece of fleece you are attaching and the inner part of the glove your good to go. I had my pocket put inside the glove, so it can't drop the heater when closed. I have to turn the flop top inside out to get one in or out though.
