Warm, waterproof protection for proper winter conditions
Mountain Equipment says:
Waterproof, warm and lightweight, Mountain Mitts make a fantastic winter refuge.
Whether worn all day or kept as a backup pair, Mountain Mitts provide a waterproof and warm shelter from the worst of the weather. A Suregrip palm provides reassuring grip on trekking poles or an ice axe.
Our Verdict
The Mountain Mitts combine POLARLOFT insulation with a microfleece lining and waterproof DRILITE insert, giving them the warmth and protection needed for cold, wet winter days. The long cuff and single-handed drawcord help seal out snow and wind, while the Suregrip palm gives secure purchase on trekking poles or an ice axe.
At 143g (Medium), they are still reasonably light for a fully insulated waterproof mitt and work well either as an all-day option or a warmer backup carried in the pack.
Dexterity is naturally more limited than with a glove, but for winter hillwalking the combination of warmth, waterproofing and secure grip is very well judged.
