Black Diamond Absolute Mitten

Item #BLD1195 | 0 in Stock

I am really debating between these and the OR Alti Mitt. Anyone...

By Ranked #347 - Mittens November 21, 2010

I am really debating between these and the OR Alti Mitt. Anyone have any suggestions? This glove has a Gore-Tex waterproof breathable insert, where as the shell on the Alti Mitt is Ripstop Gore-Tex. I am thinking that may end up being my deciding factor but I thought I would check to see if anyone else has an opinion. Thanks in advance.

Lobster glove on the inside would be the deciding factor for me - pass. But I don't like the gauntlet on the ORs ... I would like the insulation to extend the full length, so it's not difficult to get wet hands into them. Nothing's perfect.
