20 Best Women’S Winter Mittens For Extreme Cold (2023 Updated)

I suffer from Raynauds and live in Winnipeg where temperatures reach down to -30C to -40C and windchills -30C to -50C often from December through February. I have had to resort to electric glove liners inside my 8 year old size Mens medium Mercury Mitts the last 8 years in order to go snowshoeing, hike, walk, shovel snow (lots of it in 2023, for up to an hour).

The glove liners have been great with heating elements around every digit, much better than the wasteful chemical pads that heat only the palm or back of hand, but having to prepare the heated liners with batteries and keep them ready to go takes time.

However the Absolute gloves keep my hands toasty warm by themselves down to -25C for at least half an hour. With a BD glove liner they add another few degrees and time for me and with the heated liners on their lowest heat settings I’ll be good for much longer outings when the temps get down to the -40Cs.

My wrist to finger tip length is 7. 75”, finger knuckle hand circumference is 8. 25” (8. 75” with liners on). My 8 year old mercury mitts were a size Mens Medium but the liners matted out, the liners still fit in them.

I also have a pair of 4 year old Womens Large Mercury Mitts I’ve been using too which were a bit snug and they are slowly fitting better as their liners mat down. I am female and prefer the womens options/colours when possible, but when comes to keeping my fingers and toes I’ll choose the Unisex or Men’s.

Because I’m on the cusp of Mens/Unisex Medium to Large, BD first suggested I get the Large Absolute but I found my hands were swimming in the mitts and a short 15 minute test at -25C on one hand found it got cold as my hands had too much air around them; they keep warmer if there is less space to heat (as with sleeping bags, clothes, tents, etc.

). There was too much space around my hands and fingers even with liners on and when I tried to grab something the dexterity was very poor. Thankfully, BDs great customer service issued me an RA and I exchanged for the size Medium Absolute Mittens which fits great and I can still wear glove liners and the dexterity is much better.

There is a lot of space around the wrist and cuff which lets them fit over the heated liner battery pack (at the inside wrist) and sleeve cuffs. They are nice and light and compact down a fair bit to carry as backup.

I also bought a new pair of size unisex medium Mercury Mitts (as backup), size medium unisex Guide Finger Gloves (for finger dexterity for winter biking), and size large Enforcer gloves for backup, warmer temps, and when more dexterity is needed.

I have other BD products, lanterns, hiking and trekking poles, all great products. Thanks for helping me deal with this health condition so I can enjoy winter at its best (worst?) and great customer service BD!.

I bought these for ice climbing but I found them too warm for climbing in temperatures of around -12C though they were nice while on belay. The dexterity is decent though, especially for a warm glove, and there were no issues with gripping an ice tool.

For activities with a lower level of physical output, like skiing, or just being out in the cold, they’re warm and comfortable even in cold temperatures. I really like the split mitt/glove configuration because it gives both the warmth of a mitt and with pretty close to the dexterity of a glove, and there’s enough room in there for all my fingers if I want to keep them together.

Black Diamond’s sizing guide seems accurate to the fit of the glove. My only complaint about them is that there is some stitching fraying on the thumb after not a lot of use. It doesn’t seem to be compromising the glove and should be an easy enough fix if it gets worse, but I hoped for better for a $150 pair of gloves.

This is a pretty minor complaint though because I’m overall very happy with them.

My hands are always cold in the winter months even when using hand warmers. I have been looking for mittens since none of the gloves I own were keeping my fingers from turning blue. With these mittens, I can grab the handwarmers and keep all my fingers warm together.

The mittens are soft and keep the cold air out. This is one of my best purchase.

I selected these mittens to help warm the icey little fingers of nurses at UI Healthcare in Iowa City. I received excellent care during my stay, but the AC in that place is something to behold. These mittens are perfect for their purpose.

They’re made with a nice wool cable knit and lined with fuzzy stuff to warm a nurse’s touch. Perfect!.

Had high hopes for these gloves but with just one use they continued to disappoint over and over again. First issue is they are just hard to get one. There is like a mini glove instead and the fingers get balled up and its hard to push your fingers through to straighten them out, especially the pinky.

And if your hands are cold when putting them on, it takes over 10mins for them to warm up. Once they are warm, they are warm which is nice. I wore the gloves two days ago and already knew I wanted to return them.

Today I was getting them ready to return, reached inside and they were still all wet from I guess my hands being sweaty in them. I have never experienced this in a glove before and it was disgusting.

Tried to turn them inside out to dry but again due to this inner glove and the bulk of the outside glove, I wasn’t able to turn the fingers inside out. I do NOT recommend these gloves.

Just received my Scott Ultimate Pro Mittens. They appear to be well made and should work well. However, I have always had a size Large hand but recently ran into a problem with some OR mittens being too small so I ordered an X-Large instead.

The Scott in X-Large fits very well, none too big. I’m sure a Large would have been too small. I’d recommend you order a size up. I do have to say I’m having some second thoughts over this purchase. I have very cold hands (Raynaud’s) and need a mitten where my fingers can be next to each other to stay warm.

Therefore, I generally avoid mittens with finger pockets or glove liners. These Scott mittens have finger pockets and I knew that, but the sale price was unbelievable and just too good to pass up. However, I’m now thinking maybe I should have ordered the Dakine Titan GoreTex Mittens that were $5 more but still a great sale price.

They would have 2 advantages over this Scott mitten: 1. A removable glove liner that I could replace with a mitt liner if necessary (and remove to dry) 2. Wrist leashes so I don’t drop my mittens when I have to take them off to check my phone, take a picture, etc (although I can easily make wrist leashes for these Scott mittens) In summary, these are a perfectly good mitten for most people.

They are very well made and this sale price is unbelievable. However, my favorite mittens of all time (I’ve had OR, BD, Marmot and now Scott) are still my Marmot Expeditions ($115 msrp) that I use all the time for skiing and are one of the best mittens according to GearJunkie.

The only downsides of the Marmot are the lack of a zippered heater pocket (but they are a much warmer mitten right out of the box), and if they get wet they can take a while to dry out since the liners are not removable.

Ordered these to replace my original pair that I left at a ski resort last year. I don’t know what it is about this style/brand, but they are the most comfortable fit for my hands. Literally fit like a glove.

warm & fuzzy inside, wrist length is wide enough to be comfy with ski jacket sleeves. Never have a problem with dexterity or pulling them on/off. Palm width is spacious enough not to cause hand fatigue, and Velcro across base of wrist just plain makes sense.

I wish mittens and gloves came in short, regular and long, like jeans! I have a medium width hand, with short fingers. These mittens are warm and are the right fit for me, but I have about 1. 5 extra inches of length in the fingers that makes them challenging to maneuver.

The curve in the mittens is useful, and I bought these to use while shoveling snow, especially. The longish cuff tucks into my jacket well, although it is tricky to do so for the second hand! I am not a pink lover, but felt they would be easier to find if dropped.

Appreciated the sale price, too.

I lost one of my winter mittens and the only ones I had have the glove-type inserts for the inner layer. The glove type inner layer makes my fingers get cold too quickly. I shopped all over to find some at an affordable price that have a mitten lining.

These are perfect. I love that they have the knit wrist guard that goes up on the arm far enough to protect my arm from the cold if a coat slides up, a soft inner lining and they are nicely padded but easy to move my fingers.

I haven’t tried to use a touch screen yet so can’t comment on that, nor have I worn them outside to test the warmth.

These gloves tick all the boxes, great style and colour, great fit, breathable, warm in most serious conditions and great materials. Tried them out in -25 deg. cel. and they kept me cozy warm. The palm +finger touch for devices is also a great feature!.

I bought these to replace the Burton mittens I had for several years. I wanted warmer, and I wanted gauntlets. I got both in these gloves. I wore them on my annual family ski trip to Colorado (temps ranged from teens to 20’s).

My daughter wore my old gloves. We both wore liner gloves. My hands stayed warm. At one point my daughter couldn’t handle her cold thumbs and hands anymore, so I switched with her. I very quickly realized what a huge improvement these Marmot mittens are over my previous mittens! I am so glad I bought them.

They are pricey, but I plan to buy a pair for my daughter as well. It will be worth it if it allows us to stay out on the slopes longer. I love the gauntlets too. It made it much easier to get the mittens on and off and they weren’t so bunchy at the wrists.

I usually wear a Medium glove, but sized up to a Large based on the reviews. They fit great.

I was on the fence with these and the Black Diamond Mercury mittens. My indecision led me to buying both, and apples to apples, these are more fitting for my intended uses. What I like about this mitten: ? They’re warm AF.

Rated for -30, these will surely keep my mitts warm in some nasty conditions in the BWCA and elsewhere during the winter. ? They’re light. Not marketed as an ultralight glove, they almost could be. They feel like a down sleeping bag on my hands.

? They’re big and simple. Basically, these are an intense, technical chopper. Bigger and spacious, making it easy to layer with liners and other gloves, easy to slip on and off, and the gauntlet extends over bulky coats for extra warm and protection.

What I’m not fond of: ? They don’t have a wrist leash. What is that all about? ? The leather palm could extend further. I really like the BD Mercury mittens because of the build and material. The leather extends beyond the underside of the mitten, giving the gloves a seemingly more durable shell.

? The gauntlet is an unconfirmed annoyance. I haven’t put these through the wringer yet, so I don’t know ? but I do know this contradicts an earlier point ? but the gauntlet might be overkill. I’m not sure yet, but perhaps I’ll report back.

Certainly though, these aren’t your daily mitt. These are meant for expeditions, hard work, and cold, cold conditions. Overall, I’m psyched to have these. I trust Marmot gear. It works super hard, and I have no doubt about these either.

5.

Purchased these mitts for everyday outdoor activities and they did not disappoint. I typically use them for trail walks/ runs. They provide good warmth & fit & dry quickly. I have also used a thin wool liner in temperatures of -25 and lower and hands were very warm.

They are easy to put on with inside pull tabs and the silicone ribbing on the thumbs and palms making gripping & driving easy. The only negative is the wool pills on the outside, absolutely does not affect comfort or performance.

I have worn these mittens for years and I absolutely love them. I am on this site because I wanted to buy a pair for a friend but you only have them in one color now which is a little sad. I will probably buy them anyway.

They’re thin enough, and the grips are good, so you can do a lot in them. And they’re really warm. Occasionally I switch them out for sheepskin mittens, but only on the very coldest days.

My hands get cold easily. But because I spend so much time outdoors, including in the winter, I thought I would finally splurge and get heated mitts. When I first turned them on, angels started singing.

But I’ve quickly come to learn that while these are still better than unheated mitts, they really don’t do nearly as much as I thought they would. Here’s the good: * These are impeccably tailored mitts.

Materials (Gore-Tex fabric and leather) and stitching are second-to-none, as you might expect for the price. They are waterproof, windproof and have a very soft lining. Definitely no pinching or rubbing, and fits my hands well even though they are long and slender.

There are also nice touches like touchscreen-compatible thumb, the elastic leash, the pull loop and the carry bag. I wouldn’t do heavy manual labor with them, but they do seem as though they would take a fair bit of rough use without being damaged.

* They have reasonably good flexibility for being such beefy mitts, and are breathable/wicking. However, they are still not great for fine hand movements, but that’s to be expected. * Not too flashy – just a combination of black materials, and only a small logo to indicate they are heated.

The clip and zipper do not seem to bind or get in the way. * Easy buttons to turn on and off, and read the current temperature. Only very occasionally have I accidentally bumped a button to modify the temperature, so they are okay at incidental knocks.

Here’s the bad: * If you’re looking for significant warmth, you’re not going to get it. The instructions warn to be careful about not overheating your hands. Good luck with that. Even on days between 25-30 degrees F, I’ve felt the need to keep it at the warmest setting (red) the entire time, which is cautioned against in the instructions as only being for the coldest days.

They say to use medium (yellow) or low (green) for most of the time, but my hands did not feel at all warm. Part of the issue is that the heating area is only on the back of the hand, so it relies on radiant heat to reach the palm and fronts of the fingers.

Probably to prevent damage to the heating elements by gripping and pushing on objects, but it is noticeable where there is no heat. * The batteries do not last that long. On cold days, you may not get a full day of heat on medium (and certainly not on high).

The packaging states in multiple places that it needs recharging every 3-6 months as though that’s some sort of indication of heating capability. Don’t be fooled, these need constant charging and attention, which is stated in small print in the instructions: charge after EVERY USE.

The batteries are also uniquely shaped and wired, and are a bit challenging to pack back into the inner cuff of the mitts without significantly bending the internal connectors. I do worry a bit about long-term durability, but they have an “infinite guarantee” (i.

e. , forever) so I guess I’ll see if I ever need to use it. * There is no nose wipe on the glove. Probably because it would be hard to clean, but still feels like an omission. Here’s my conclusion: These truly do provide some benefit on cold days.

But I need to always make sure they are charged, and expect for them to only last half a day at most for how I use them (low intensity outdoor stuff). If you’re out adventuring, you may find them to be quite warm.

I don’t regret the purchase, but do not believe that they are worth the price for what they provide. However, they are guaranteed to last a very long time, so I’m going to certainly put that to the test.

I bought 4 pairs of these gloves hoping I would have the ultimate mountain glove for my family. I’ve been buying OR gear since the early nineties. The sold me on their rock solid guarantee and excellent construction, i still have a Goretex shell hat that is built like a tank and over 25 years old.

That brand loyalty lead me to hope these would be great. They are not. The construction quality is not great, two of the 4 pairs are failing (zipper has failed on one and the other the glove construction has just torn apart).

These are not warm gloves, and they will not keep you warm in the rated temperatures. The battery on the lowest setting does nothing, on medium or high it does something, but not a whole lot in cold weather and the battery is gone very quickly at high levels – it’s a lot of work for no gain in the weather you need it.

The glove cuffs are quite short so they let in a lot of cold air and can’t properly overlap a jacket. The batteries don’t last nearly long enough. They don’t have leather in the high wear places so if you’re doing anything active and are holding things with them expect them to get damaged real fast.

Given the cost I expected a lot. I bought these as a big and expensive Christmas gift, we’ve barely used them for a month in the cold weather they were designed for and now the return policy is past (no extensions for gifts apparently).

We’ll see if OR customer service stands up to the reputation they had before, will update when I hear back. I also have bought multiple pairs of their full goretex alti mitts – these despite being not heated (and honestly not up to their old construction quality) are much warmer and a better bet.

I bought my first pair on vacation because they fit perfectly and I couldn’t feel the seams while I had them on. Most thinner gloves have obnoxious seams that constrict my fingers and blood flow just enough to make my hands colder with gloves on than just in my pocket, but not these.

They are soft on the inside, windproof, and very water resistant. They were perfect for every day wear on vacation. Then when I got home I needed gloves that were dexterous and water resistant for doing some winter trail maintenance that involved lopping down scrub trees and bushes, and some chainsaw work.

They kept my hands pretty dry, fit well so they were dexterous, and showed minor wear on the palms. I don’t know if the seams are sealed, but in between being in snow, picking up wet logs, and my body putting off moisture, my hands were dry enough and warm, which was amazing.

My hands were a little damp after a few hours, but they were still warm which was amazing to me as my hands are always cold. I was so impressed with them that I bought another pair. I’ve worn them shooting on an outdoor range in cold weather, driving to and from work, and regular daily wear.

They are my favorite gloves and I’m leaving this review because I was on the website again looking to buy a couple more pair so I will have them for years to come should they change the style or discontinue them down the road.

I have not worn them for sedentary cold weather activities, but I would wear mittens for that type of activity.

These gloves were great for my hike up Kilimanjaro, primarily on Summit night when temperatures were around -5 F with the wind chill. Once the sun came out, I only needed the inner liners, which were also amazingly comfortable and warm in the 10 degree F weather.

The only downside, and the reason I gave it only 2 stars instead of 5 is because the inner gloves snap onto the outer layer, and the inner layer ripped when trying to unsnap it THE FIRST TIME. That was pretty discouraging as I eventually lost them on the hike up.

Other than that, these are some top of the line gloves for almost any weather condition.

These mittens seem to check all the right boxes for deep winter snowboard adventures, however the thumbs are too tight! I tried 3 different pairs and each one had the same problem, particularly the right thumb for some reason.

Unfortunately the thumb was restricting circulation and it’s just too small. Check other reviews that say the same thing. Really wanted to make these work but I’m not willing to suffer freezing digits for a flawed design.

Would not recommend.

I was very disappointed in these gloves. I purchased the less expensive DAKINE men’s gloves for myself at the same time I purchased these for my son. After 8 days of Snowboarding mine were still preforming great.

With this model after 3 days of Snowboarding were showing excessive wear because the fabric that looks like leather is actually a cheap composite that breaks down faster then any glove I can remember buying.

Love DAKINE, still will buy their products but they really missed the mark with these gloves.

Great overall glove that will last with care, the leather definitely loves the extra balm. Reading other reviews I can relate to the cold hands people describe where I’ve experienced this when standing still in long lift lines, in the wind or on slow chair lifts.

Unless you’re charging groomers/bump or tree runs, I wouldn’t consider these my go to “resort” gloves. Haven’t had any warmth issues with the gloves even in single digit temperatures (F), as long as I’m actively skiing or touring in them.

But I did take the advice of other reviews and got a size larger to utilize glove liners which helps on extra windy days and single digit temps. The water resistance is just that. resistant. If you decide to throw your skis on your shoulder to hike the ridge, definitely get all the ice/snow off your tips or your gloves will get soaked.

I’d still pack a second pair of gloves for the day, would love to see Hestra throw in the Czone membrane into these. The soft flex and dexterity is the best I’ve experienced in a ski glove and the thick back hand padding helped me win a fight with some tree branches.

Bottom line, I love skiing with these gloves on most west coast days but keep a set of Goretex mittens on the side for chasing storms and powder.

These are gorgeous gloves. They look and feel like a million bucks, but they are not warm. I think mine are the older (softer) goatskin version. Dexterity is the best of any glove I’ve used, however the insulation packs-out fairly quickly, and even treated the water resistance is limited.

Once you find the right size (size up), the quality, fit and feel are top notch. I’ve had a couple pairs and they have held up well despite the softer leather. These work for me at 25° and up if it’s not wet or too windy.

I have some vertical cut mittens that I use below 25° and those (although also not particularly warm) see much more action than these gloves (they’re really versatile for a mitten since the dexterity is so good).

If you’re in a colder region (I’m in mostly in VT) and/or have trouble staying warm, and you’re looking one warm & dry set of gloves ? these are NOT them. If you want to have a sweet pair of gloves to wear on the bluebird days, and don’t mind spending some dough, these are a great choice.

I love these gloves. I originally bought a pair in 2011 when I lived in Northeast Ohio, where it’s freezing cold. I actually looked forward to going outside because of how comfortable these gloves were, and how warm they instantly made my fingers feel.

I’ve had that same pair for 10 years now, and I think I got a good seven or eight years out of them before I started thinking about buying new ones. They are really warm, comfortable, and pretty tactile for being somewhat thick.

The only con for these gloves is that they don’t do super well in certain wet conditions. They never failed me in a blizzard or in rain, but I think what ultimately did my old pair in was my dog’s drool.

I would play fetch with him in the winter and the leather just didn’t like his drool when I would yank the ball out of his mouth. Aside from this (rather niche) issue, these gloves are amazing and I always rave about them to everyone who is looking to buy gloves.

I’ve heard a lot of high praise of Hestras and finally decided to spend the money on a nice pair. So far they have stood up to the expectations. I get super cold and these mittens are very good at warming my hands up.

Even if I leave them in my cold car I can put them on and they will quickly warm up my hands. The removable liner is super convenient for washing and the outer shell is very durable and the waterproof capabilities on these are insanely good – my hands have been nowhere near getting wet.

I use these when driving (although they are definitely a little bulky for that) and skiing. If you are not planning on using these gloves in the snow then I wouldn’t recommend them just because the wrists are designed to be super large to keep out snow so it would look super bulky if you were wearing these gloves without a bigger jacket.

They also come with wrist attachments which are super convenient so that you can take them off while on the ski lift and not worry about them falling to the ground. For sizing I measured my hands and ordered to the recommended size and they were true to fit (size 8).

I like to X-country ski for recreation. I live in New Jersey, hardly The Great White North as far as cold, but I have been searching for any kind of glove or mitten that would keep my hands warm from the start.

I’m still looking. These pricey mitts are no better than nearly any other type — several types of “ski” gloves or even ragg wool gloves with leather palms — that I’ve tried. Like all the others, my fingers freeze in these Hestras for the first twenty minutes of skiing ’til my body temp rises, so I have to stop and curl my fingers into my palm to warm them.

It was also a disappointment that Hestra makes these in China; I had assumed for the price that they’d be made in Sweden. I truly wonder what gloves ski racers, both downhill and cross country, wear that kept their fingers warm, particularly downhillers, who hit 70 mph; now that’s a real wind chill factor.

Cute. Super cute. And I love the color. But warmth – forget it. These are a cable knit, with a very thin fuzzy layer on the inside. Lets the cold come right through. I have to ball my hands up in these to keep my hands warm.

And if you have large hands (which I don’t), forget about the thumb hole. Its tight!.

Our now 9 year old son used these mitts last season for snowboarding (and only snowboarding). He typically runs hot so the fact that they have considerably less insulation compared to the competition did not really phase us.

Until that is. It gets below -15°C. The mitts perform as advertised. They keep hands dry and relatively warm (as was the case when using them for spring riding) and on days when it was warmer than -15°C.

If you are looking for a toasty mitt. Perhaps consider shopping for something else. If you have an active kid who typically runs hot / need a waterproof mitt for spring riding or venture out west. Then these are your mitts.

As an FYI, we ended up buying the 2020 model in black and sent them back. The loft in the microfiber lining just felt too thin (similar to his packed out ones from last season). We opted for the more expensive leather Kombi Gore-Tex mitt (more robust and a lot warmer).

These are great. They are waterproof and they keep my hands warm when its super windy outside. Theres also pockets in each glove to put hand warmers in. I actually used these pockets for my pass so I dont have to take it out each time! They also come with wrist guards so you dont lose em when you take them off.

The wrists are also adjustable and theyre easy to adjust even when you adjust them with a mitt on your other hand. They are true to size. I got the large and I’m able to put a touchscreen liner glove but I also have small hands!.

I bought a pair of these for each of my boys for snowboarding. I wanted mittens with the pocket to add hand warmers, but so far they’re warm enough that they haven’t even been necessary! I got size small for my 4 year old (XS was sold out) and while they are big and will last multiple seasons, because of the adjustable wrist strap, they stay on just fine and keep his hands nice and toasty.

I got mediums for my 8 year old and they’re a great fit with room to grow as well. So far they’ve been really waterproof too and have only been slightly damp after a day on the mountain, I’m guessing due to sweating not because snow seeped in.

Highly recommend these mittens!.

I’m 54 years old and these are my first mittens. Hands have gotten colder as I’ve aged. I’ve worn them a week for my early morning walk – 25 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes daily. They are warmer than my gloves but still my hands were slightly chilly by end of walk.

So I added a wool glove liner (I already had from a sporting goods store) and that made my hands very toasty and should be good at colder temps. With a glove liner, I’d guess these will work very well into single digit temperatures.

So 5 star on warmth. Sizing is off for my hands (yes, we are all individuals and it may be perfect for you). I’m 5’9″ and ordered a women’s large. They are long and go about 1 1/2 inches past the tip of my longest finger.

But they are snug on width and a little bit uncomfortable across my palm. Also, I think the wrist needs modification. They are designed to go over the coat at the wrist. I’d much prefer a design that is thinner at the wrist and goes under my coat sleeve.

I’ve been wearing a light weight design down coat with thick LE Serious Sweats hooded top underneath. That is too much to tuck into the wrist easily. Either I have to push my coat sleeve up above the mitten (awkward and cold wrists) or work hard to get the mitten adjusted around my wrist over my clothes which feels tight on my wrists.

These are not going to fit over the wrist of my LE Squal Coat which I wear on colder days. Overall, I’ll be wearing these for walks all winter. They are better than anything else I own for warmth. But the design simply doesn’t fit my body sizing well so I gave a little lower rating.

These are really cheap, poorly made mittens. Very thin, disfigured. Each hand was cut differently and fit differently. I got them on sale and was willing to keep them if they were okay. They were not even close to okay.

In Minnesota we know our mittens and these are junk that won’t keep you warm. I returned them. (And I was stupid and didn’t realize return shipping wasn’t free if original shipping was free. I should have read the fine print.

Really mad I paid $8 to return a defective item. ) I have tried Land’s End products. Shirts are okay. Hard to mess up a blanket. But the rest of the items I have tried to buy have been horrible. After these mittens, I am done with Land’s End.

I am willing to pay more elsewhere or far better quality and free returns. It’s been a real disappointment over and over.

Bought these for driving mittens, my hands tend to get cold with using gloves. I realize these are more for skiing and outdoor sports than everyday, but they are just a bit too big for my (female) hands, and I find the material used on the inside for the hand area is a brushed nylon or something, and with chapped hands, the feel is less than ideal.

Not bad, but not best. Still they are very warm and will keep my hands warm while driving, walking outside in our upstate NY winters. I did measure around my hand prior to ordering, but being able to try these on would have helped alot.

That is the drawback to online / catalog ordering.

These mittens are really warm in part because it doesn’t have the internal finger separation, which is what all other brands of mittens have nowadays. This is a BONUS because it keeps your hands warmer! My only wish is if they could come with wrist leash so I could have greater security that I wouldn’t drop them if I had to take them off to answer the phone or adjust some clothing/equipment.

Still, at this price, you could afford to buy 3 more pairs for the same price as the next cheapest and less warm mittens.

I usually wear a Large in Women’s gloves -so when I read the other reviews that warned that they gloves ran large, I decided that advice was not for me. These gloves are oversized. They are a women’s XXL or a mens Large.

Also, I do not see anywhere a hand warmer would tuck into, and the cuff does not look like it would keep snow out even if it is the right fit. I would not use these for asking even in the correct size.

Will return :(.

Great quality leather, very soft! Extremely impressed. I looked at the size guide to guess which size to get and was in the middle of the small/med measurements and got the medium. Wish i got the small but they will still work so would recommend going down if you are in between.

Have not worn outside yet to test warmth. They are not super “plush” like some other ski gloves are.

Weatherproof gloves to keep hands warm as it claims. The gloves are well constructed and fit perfect to the size. However, it come with two downsides: (1) difficult to wear when hands are wet/sweaty and (2) hard to dry after long day of use.

Still worth it though in my opinion.

I bought this on a sale to replace my falling apart shell glove. I was expecting a shell for this, but I couldn’t be more wrong. This glove is very warm/heavily insulated. Waterproofing was good too.

Dexterity wasn’t bad with poles when I went splitboarding with it in the back country. Depending on what you need it for, it’s a great glove. With the padding/protection, I plan on using it mostly for glades and general riding in winter.

Might be too warm for spring skiing Can’t comment on the durability of the product as I only used it for one season, but the outer material feels solid and stood up to rocks/trees.
