Please note that the rating on these mittens is not 25 degrees F as a previous reviewer stated. The rating range is actually -5 to +25 degrees F. To me they are appropriately warm in this temp range and possibly colder depending on the individual and activity level. Of course YMMV!
Great gloves Yellowstone minus degrees, nice and warm with hand warmers. Liked the wrist straps for ease of taking photos.
I love these mittens so far! I wore them hiking today- it was breezy with a windchill in the upper teens to low 20s. My hands were toasty and warm while others in my group were talking of cold hands. I love the straps as well!
I probably might have kept these but the inner lining was somehow wrinkled in the left mitt and felt uncomfortable. I assume that was just poor sewing on this particular mitt and not a general reflection of their quality. The lining / insulation in the thumbs was a little bunched but OK. Quality appeared very good. Insulation on backs was very good. On fronts was a little thinner than I would prefer but that is to be expected on sensor mitts/gloves. I actually have no need for sensor mitts since my experience with sensor gloves is not that good and with mitts would be awkward at best.
Be aware that this product has a temperature rating by Outdoor Research of only +25°F. The online info does not indicate this. Other OR mittens have ratings of +15°F and even -20F, but consequently they cost more. If you plan to occasionally wear these mittens on really cold days, get one size bigger than normal so that you can wear some thin gloves inside for extra warmth on those days.
Too large, definitely not warm as advertized. My fingers were very cold at 22F. I returned them.
I bought these for my trip to Iceland in February and they kept me warm! Never had cold fingers! Now, I wear them during my winter bike commute. Hands stay warm for the whole ride, so far at least until -10f!
These are very nice mittens. I suffer from Reynauds syndrome and they work well into the 20's. Below that I need my heated mittens.
