DAKINE Cobra Mitten - 2008 BCS

All the great features of the Cobra glove, but in mitten form. They have a gore-tex insert, so you have unparalleled waterproofing and breathability. You are certain to stay dry in these. The insulation on these is great. You will stay superwarm. Skied with these in 0 degree weather at the Bird and had no issues whatsoever. My only complaint about the glove was that it is not warm enough for really cold days. The mitten solves this issue. This mitten is open inside and does NOT have finger dividers. As a result you get a lot more warmth circulating through them, and freedom to wiggle your fingers around inside, allowing for a little more dexterity than you normally have. This is one of my new favorite cold weather pieces of gear.

I'm a pretty serious snowboarder and have had the Cobra GT Mitts for a little over a year. These are hands down the best mitts I've ever had. It is almost all Gore-Tex and leather on the outside with a fleece liner on the inside. The coldest weather I used these in was the tail end of a large snow storm where the temperature approached 0 degrees and my hands stayed warm. The mitts also have excellent water proofing, the only time my hands touch snow is when taking the gloves off after heavy snowboarding. The only problem is that on warmer days (40+ degrees) the insulation causes my hands to sweat, but I usually opt for bare hands on those days anyways. One reviewer said there weren't finger dividers on the inside, but my gloves have them (I guess the GT is slightly different than the original Cobra).

Wore these puppies for the first time at Revelstoke on a pretty chilly day, they were warmer then I expected. They fit snug, so get a size up. The water proofing was impressive. I like the low profile look personally, so these gloves were right on the mark for me. I've worn them about 8 or 9 times out since I got them and they look as good as new.

So awesome, and frankly, very cute.

These mitts perform to manufacturer specs. They keep you warm and dry. And fit true to size. What more could you ask for. I live in the midwest and the winters can be pretty brutal. The coldest I've had these out was about 25-30 deg.f with 0 deg. wind chill. My hands were nice and toasty. They were a little sweaty though. My only knocks are the nose wipe panels (could be a bit more comfortable)and the fact that the leather is pretty thin. The leather is holding up after a few snowboard days. But I guess time will tell.

These are really warm for how light they are.. extremely water proof with the gore-tex and the neoprene cuff is comfortable but not bulky at all fits under my jacket cuffs well.
