Mountain Hardwear Masherbrum Mitten
Take on the big peaks and return without black fingers thanks to the Mountain Hardwear Masherbrum Mitten. This big-mountain mitt features a two-layer Conduit nylon shell to block blowing snow and dripping ice, and Thermic Micro insulation to ward off frostbite. The Pittards leather palm stands up to the abuse of repeated rappels, and the extra-long gauntlet fits over bulky shell layers. A brushed tricot liner wicks moisture while adding comfort, and a carabiner loop lets you secure the mitts to your harness when you’re tying in or rigging anchors.
Bottom Line: Durable protection for high-altitude climbers.

Good for people that don't have great circulation in the hands and tend to get cold.
Well made mitten that keeps you plenty warm.
I noticed there is not windstopper membrane in these gloves.
I noticed there is not windstopper membrane in these gloves. How do they stand up to some of those higher velocity arctic winds, or is it necessary to wear a windstopper baselayer beneath these gloves?

There isn't need to add anything on top or inside these gloves to withstand the wind. The shell on these gloves will keep out just about any wind but also with the degree of insulation there really no need for anything else......and my hands run cold ALL the time!

Very warm

These mitts are very warm. They are very light, but bulky.
The gauntlets are very long. Personally, I could have done with them being a bit shorter but some will prefer that.
Serious Protection

I tried these out for an upcoming trip to Aconcagua. If I wasn't in the market for a mitten system (shell + liner) then I'd definitely pick these up. They're lofted full of warm insulation and fit amazingly well. They feel more dexterous than a 2-piece system since you don't have an inner mitten slipping around inside the outer shell. The gauntlets extend far and are large enough to get around he wrists of bulky parkas. I also liked the simple closure system and easily-adjustable wrist strap, something that seems to be missing from most of the other high altitude mittens out there which just have full elastic wrists.
MH claims on the packaging this is their warmest mitten and after trying it on I don't doubt that claim.
Change me.
