Outdoor Research says:
The Adrenaline Mitt is built for cold-weather pursuits—whether you're breaking trail in fresh powder, ripping at the resort, or climbing in frosty winter conditions.
With a Ventia™ waterproof membrane and breathable recycled fabrics, these mitts keep your hands dry and comfortable, even during high-output days. EnduraLoft™ Eco insulation provides lightweight warmth without the bulk, while windproof construction shuts down those icy gusts. AX Diamond Grip palms ensure durability and a solid hold on poles, giving you full control. Thoughtful details like touchscreen compatibility, elastic cuffs, and a cinchable gauntlet enhance functionality, while a removable leash and glove clip make transitions between activities a breeze. Made with bluesign®-approved materials, this mitt is built with sustainability in mind.
For winter athletes who need the warmth, protection, and performance that mountain terrain demands, the Adrenaline Mitt is ready to take on whatever the elements throw your way.
Our Verdict
The Outdoor Research Adrenaline Mitts combine a Ventia waterproof insert with EnduraLoft Eco insulation to provide dependable protection against snow, wind and cold. At 124 g (Medium), they balance warmth with manageability, remaining easy to pull on and secure using the gauntlet cinch and wrist adjustment. The generous cuff seals effectively over jacket sleeves, keeping snow out and warmth in.
The insulation feels thick across the back of the hand and slightly lighter in the palm, which improves grip and pole handling while still maintaining solid warmth. The internal space is ample enough to move fingers comfortably or to add a thin liner. Breathability is reasonable for a fully waterproof mitt, and the soft tricot lining stays comfortable through extended wear.
The AX Diamond Grip palm provides dependable traction, and the stitching and reinforcement are well-executed. For walking, skiing or winter camping, they offer reliable performance without excess complexity, providing an effective blend of warmth, protection and usability.
