Better for jackets without cuffs
The wrist on these mitts isn't very synched and the cuffs on my jacket are pushing them off my hands, I constantly have to pull them back on my hands/readjust. It's difficult to drive with them, half the mitt is off my hand and I can't hold the steering wheel properly. But I assume they're not designed for driving. I haven't tried wearing them with a cuffless jacket yet, I imagine they might stay on a bit better. But I like cuffs on my jacket to keep out the wind/snow. We haven't had much cold weather yet this winter so not sure how warm they are. I like the look of them but I'm not yet convinced of their functionality.
sleeping bags for your hands
These things warm my hands up so fast even when they’re wet. They’re somehow durable even though I’ve abused these things carrying skis with them and spilling beer on them when drinking on the ski lift. I like them for skiing because I can ball them up to fit in whatever pocket so I can use my phone. And if my hands are cold it only takes like 30seconds of a balled fist inside of these and they’re warm again. I got these for free using REI rewards, I’m writing this review because I was ready to buy another pair because it’s getting about that time to retire the ones I have. $75 is a lot but I guess you get what you pay for. They are tough to get on quickly because of the loose inner fabric. I have stumbled to get these on before getting of the lift plenty of times.
Great mittens
Omg, I can’t believe it took me this long to discover this comfort! Out for a long walk in subzero weather and am not even tempted to put in hand warmers. Even my thumbs were comfortable.
Poor dexterity and not that warm
I bought these for a climbing trip where we'd car camp in 20 degree weather. The interior is soft and comfortable, but loose so you can't just slip in - you need to shimmy your hands in. My hands are average size but the interior of these mittens is super long which resulting in little to no dexterity. Forget trying to drive early in the morning wearing these, it's like wearing flippers - very awkward and unsafe. I've now used them for walks with my dog to keep my hands warm, but they're not even that good for that. My hands get cold quickly.
Very Warm and Surprisingly Durable
For the price, I don't think you can beat these mittens. I have much bulkier down mittens from other brands that cost easily twice as much and stay just a bit warmer. I don't know how these mittens do it, but I'm amazed at how warm they are. I'm borderline Reynaud's Syndrome so I need gear that is very warm. I've had these for a few years and they've been used for hunting, snowshoeing, skiing and running a tracked snow blower. I really have beat the crap out of them and I'm finally replacing them because I managed to cut the tip of one of them.
Warm mittens!
I bought a pair of these mittens for my boyfriend who has super cold hands. They allow enough room for his knuckles and fingers and warm! He is very pleased with them I tried them on and decided to order the blue ones for myself. These should work great for cold weather for me. The seem to be well made and designed! We live in Washington state. I ordered XL each time. Mine should arrive soon.
OVERKILL in the cold!
Paired these with the REI brand Merino Wool Liner 2.0 gloves underneath in 20 degree weather when there was snow out and my fingers didn’t freeze at all. These feel like they can go lower than 20 with the liner, so they could hold up quite well. I ordered these a size up from what I wear and they are cozy. The heat circulates very well and my hands stay warm. But mostly my fingers!
Excellent
These down filled gloves were a present to my daughter who wanted easy-on mittens to wear after her weekly winter plunge into Long Island Sound. Need easy-on because freezing fingers very stiff. These REI mittens perfect. Toasty.
Warm Mitts
Some of the warmest mitts I own. These are great for cold days in the mountains where you need something that packs down small and light. They aren't abrasion resistant so don't expect these to be a new winter work glove but paired with a shell mitt they've been a life saver. Ideal for someone who's hands get particularly cold and are needing a light weight & packable solution. These are always with me when snowmachining, winter camping, and low single digit ski days as a warmer backup.
Very warm if kept lofted.
I have always suffered from cold hands, and decided to try down. These have been toasty warm down to minus 25C so far. Amazing for the light weight. The trick is to keep the insulation uncompressed - don't grip anything, and don't wear these inside another layer. I wouldn't use them with ski poles for example. And in any case the shell is not toughened. But for keeping idle hands warm, these are ideal - far warmer than any mitts with synthetic insulation of similar thickness.
