Does anyone know how these stackup to the Columbia Monster Mitts? On paper the Columbia Mitts look like the better choice.

I would go with the Hestra. I have put them through a beating and they have held up great, kept my hands super warm in temps as low as -40F, and I have bad circulation and usually always have trouble with my hands getting cold. The leather on these is very strong. I just think these are better put together than the Columbia Mountain Monster Mitt. I have used them Skiing, Hiking, around town, at 19,000 ft+, snowshoeing....and never been cold once.
