Great Mittens, Great Value
Researched other Gore-Tex gloves/mittens, many costing twice as much, but chose these based on other reviews and REI’s reputation for quality and value. I’ve used them for up to 10 hours straight, while removing snow in snowy and single digit and below temperatures, and have never had cold hands. The mittens work great with hand warmers, seating well in my palms and staying in place even with use. The length is good and straps keep the mittens snug and free of outside snow. Went back and forth whether to go with gloves or mittens, but the mittens provided good dexterity. Very impressed and would recommend.
Warm and Great Value
Spent a while researching mittens and first pass didn’t want to spend $150+ on an insulated pair. I have terrible circulation in my hands so they’re always cold so I opted for this pair from REI since they were goretex and insulated. Tried out this past weekend hiking with trekking poles. Temp was 0 with -15F to -20F wind chills. Wore liners for the first 30 mins cause it takes time for my hands to acclimate. Took the liners off once my hands were good and went only mittens for 2 hours with no issues. They’re comfortable, nice adjustments, hands stayed warm for balance of hike despite being exposed to brutal winds. Room for hand warmers which I’ll probably use next time. Overall very satisfied for the quality, value and price.
Great mittens
These are great mittens- they are very warm. I got these for hiking to wear at the summit and they have done very well in the wind and cold. They were too warm to wear while hiking.
Comfortable, warm, some complaints
These gauntlet mittens are warm and comfy, but I have two quibbles. The guantlet part is too narrow to easily install over your coat's sleeve. It will fit but not easily, so one glove can be fitted properly, but the second one is always going to be cockamamey because it's not going on easily. Making the gauntlet a little wider would have been much better. The second complaint is that it's mildly difficult to turn door knobs with these gloves because it just doesn't have quite enough friction. Other than that, I really like them.
Warm the wrist cuffs are too small
The wrist cuffs are a bit small if you're wearing a winter jacket. I struggle to put these on over my ski jacket or my the REI stormhenge down hybrid jacket. If the wrist guards were wider for me to easily slip the gloves on and off, then these would be amazing. I wear these with liners inside (BD Screentap Midweight and heavyweight) and they feel great down to -5 F. The other issue is that fingers feel a bit long/big, and it's a little difficult to close my grip (like when grabbing a leash). These are one of the few insulated gloves that I've found that allow me to wear my BD liners though.
Only OK, not thick enough for expeditions.
These mittens are long enough in the fingers, which helps with warmth. My cycling lobster gloves are too short and my fingers bottom out against the liner, making cold spots. So, that part of the tailoring is good. There is a tight spot around the wrist joint. My Momma isn’t around to pull my gloves on, so getting the second one on requires pulling with the other mitten, which is not grippy. No need for that tightness. There is a tightening strap at that point you can pull with your teeth to get a seal. The gauntlet is not a feature I sought, but it’s better than an elastic cuff. The insulation in these mittens is thin for me. Once you give up dexterity, why not be warm? Even with liners, my fingers are a bit cold after a mile or so of walking in low 20’s F weather. Maybe if I were gripping ski or trekking poles and working my fingers, they might be adequate. I
these will roast your hands
I picked up a pair of these at a garage sale for about $20. This may have been the best deal I have ever found, as I would easily pay full price for them. I took these skiing today: it was 10° Fahrenheit and lightly snowing, but the “feels like” was 1°. Initially I put hand warmers in the mittens, but eventually I had to take the warmers out because my hands were overheating. I literally had to remove these mittens from my hands on the chairlift, because they cooking my hands like they were hot pockets. In the face of the snow, the waterproofing held up as well. My only critique is that they did not breathe very well - gore tex is notorious for this, so I’m not surprised. My Hestra 3 fingers, while not as warm, are much more breathable. For this reason, I would not wear these above 15° or so. These are for seriously cold days, or for those who have poor circulation and are happy to sacrifice breathability for warmth.
Impressively Warm
I needed mitts for "in-between" lows where my other mitts are either too warm or not warm enough. Basically, I need something between 0 F and 25 F, and I decided to try these gloves out after about an hour worth of research on different brands. I have lots of experience with mitts, using custom-made extreme weather ones with temperatures into the deep negatives that work exceptionally well. Early this morning, in a damp 20 F (8 F windchill), my hands were very warm, slightly sweaty actually, during my one hour hike. I wasn't using trekking poles, only holding onto a dog leash, but I noticed even while holding the leash in my one hand, it did not get cold at all. These mitts are very flexible and retain warmth, which is one thing that I was concerned with because there is a lot of compromise when insulation is reduced in the palm area to allow for better dexterity. I am glad that these are also very simple in design.
So dope
I originally bought these for winter hiking in the White Mountains, because my current gloves werent cutting it below 10 degrees. Ive now used them on a few hikes and theyre perfect for those windy days above treeline. Ive also never had actual mittens before, and they make a world of difference vs gloves. Yesterday I had to do some outdoor work for hours after a big snowstorm, and I wore them. I had no problems using shovels and other large hand tools. They were also soaked on the outside for hours with wet snow and stayed absolutely dry inside. Killer, versatile mittens for subfreezing conditions.
Warm, waterproof mittens you want in cold climates
The mittens are very warm, cozy with fleece lining, and waterproof with gortex outer layer. Expensive but worth it. Don't lose them! Go to mittens for very cold weather comfort. Very good value.
