DAKINE Scout Mitten - Men's - 2006 BCS

These dudes are definitely nice and toasty, even on a cold day. Add in the liners, and they're even warmer. All around great construction, no wear so far. The liners work as nice driving gloves too on the way to the hill. Couldn't ask for any more in a mitten.

these are truly great mittens. I am a first time mitten user after years of wearing good quality gloves for my crazy skiing adventures. Winter after winter of cold hands and some great suggestions from friends and I got the DAKINE Scout Mittens. Living in the VT I need something that will stay dry, keep hands warm and still be functional while playing hard all over the Mountain.

i like the long cuffs, elastic cuff cinch, and wrist lanyards. over the wrist strap allows for easy removal. very versatile with the removable mitts they come with especially for those of us that tend to sweat a bit. durable palm material. great value for the price.

on my third or so season with these with heavy use and theyve held up almost perfectly through lots of abuse. picked a womens pair for my girlfriend and she loves them.

Decent glove that repels water. The insert is really cool for warmer weather. When the insert and glove are used it is really warm. Can't go wrong, I'm a big fan of Dakine gear. Pretty cheap glove that works really well and is tough. Runs a bit small.

Great mitt, keeps the snow out and heat in. I wore them today with some cold weather cycling gloves I have - it was between 20-30ish, but my hands stayed toasty. They'd probably be warmer with the included mitten liners. They have a strap to tether them to your wrist and the gauntlets are super easy to cinch up around your jacket sleeve. The left mitt also has a little rubber tab to squeegee your goggles. Wear the mitts, wear the liners, wear both, put your own liners in them... you've got a lot of options with these.

I tend to have cold fingers and toes when boarding, so I ordered these 1 size larger than usual to leave room for heat packs. I wear a Medium in Mechanix gloves, so I ordered a Large in these mittens and put a heat pack in each hand in between the fleece liner and the outer shell. The temperature was in the single digits with the wind chill dropping below zero at times.

These mittens were toasty on sunny days with the temp in the 20's without heat packs.

I love that it has a cinch at the base of the glove and another one right at the wrist. My only complaint is that they're bulkier than I would like in the fingers. It may just be because I am used to my children's XL that I used last year but these seem harder to grab with.
The material's super warm but breathable so my hands don't sweat even if I leave the liner in.

Super warm and toasty gloves, great for the colder days up north. The liners pull out, making it very versatile. Liners for warmer days or driving, outers for cool or cold days, and both together for those crazy cold days the lifts can't decide to run or not in the mornings. Only thing I wish this glove had was a short cuff version.

I had glovers but they just were not doing the job, I have always been skeptical about the fingers being usable in Mittens. Well not anymore. Keep my hands and fingers hot, even when I take gloves off to capture a pic or vid, fingers are frozen when I slip em back on, within a min they are nice and toasty again.

And the goggle scraper comes in real handy during storms

These Mittens are the best. I recently went boarding and it was freezing out, yet I had to take off the liners because my hands were sweating. This mits are the real deal and I love em!

Just had a week with these guys in South Lake Tahoe. Moderate temps meant I never used the liners - my hands were plenty toasty the entire time. Nice tough cordura-like material, great fit and plenty of mobility. I've used the liners on their own for snowshoeing and similar activities and been very pleased. Think of'em as a two-fer. Highly recommended, will never go back to gloves.

First pair of mittens and they are super warm. Doubt i'll ever have to use the liners that come with. Mittens are obviously bulky and less tactile but i'll trade that for the all day warm they provide. Great Mitten for the Price.

They were nice mittens, but when I received them, the cuff cinch was broken. Love BC.com's return policy! No complaints

These will keep your hands warm. My son took out the liners so his hands weren't so hot and it works for him.

I wore these a couple days so far and have been very impressed. On a clear and not-too-cold day in Colorado (about 19), my fingers were sweating even after taking the liners out. The next time I tried them, the temp was in single digits, very windy, and snowing hard - the lift ride would have been miserable without these, but instead my hands were toasty warm all day with the liners in. I would have given them 5 stars if the liners were glove-style, that's the only thing I can find wrong with them.

All in all, these are fantastic mittens for the price, but save them for really cold days.

Good mittens for the price. Keeps my hands warm. I never really notice if my hands are too hot. The one problem I have with these mittens is that the cinch is not at the very end of the gauntlet. The cinch is attached much like the the elastic at the bottom of your ski/snowboard pants. I like that on my pants but not on my mittens.

these are the best and my second pair of the scout model...yes they make your hands sweat a bit but they don't get cold do to the liner inserts...they wick away the moisture...and the canvas on palm holds up for carving hand drags....
a must buy for NE snowboarder who rides in colder conditions

I just got these mittens. They are bad a$$! They fit and feel like greatness. Didn't give 5 stars because I haven't taken them up to the slopes.
