Outdoor Research Alti Mitten - Men's
When it’s so cold that your pee freezes before it hits the ground, it’d be wise to keep your hands bundled inside the protective confines of the Outdoor Research Men’s Alti Mitten. Designed for high-altitude mountaineering, arctic expeditions, and other ungodly frigid pursuits, the Alti Mitten’s Gore-Tex shell fabric and removable PrimaLoft-insulated liner provide unparalleled protection from the elements. A tough leather palm grips your poles or ice axe, and the pile fleece lining wicks moisture and adds extra comfort.
Bottom Line: Epic protection from cold that defies reality.

These are the true champ Of high altitude mitts anything over 8000m and these are the best choice. If you get cold hands try these . They have the same insaltion on the back of the hand as well.
Well worth the price

They keep your hands warm, no matter what. I think that's all that needs to be said for these. They have a removable liner glove inside, which can be used as a stand-alone mit down to freezing temperatures (so be careful not to order up in size in order to fit liners in as it already has one). Something that hasn't been mentioned is that the fabric on it is extremely durable. I used these to rappel down successive portions of the mountain (about 300-400 meters total), and the palm leather on these did not wear one bit. I was very pleased all around.

Used this on Denali last season and loved them. Kept my hands warm, even on summit day which was -20F and super windy.
I would recommend getting a size larger than normal so you can put liner gloves under them. That's what i did and it work really well.
Cheers

For total peace of mind going into high altitude or extreme cold the Alti Mitt is it. The primaloft insulation will cost you a couple ounces over down but will always be warm and toasty. OR has done a great job of crafting a well put together mitt. The dual drawcord closure on the cuffs is easily adjusted and the removable, insulated liners speed drying and give you options if things are unexpectedly warm. If you like your fingers where they are (still attached to your hand) and want there to be no question that they'll stay there take a close look the the Altis.
Change me.
