The North Face Himalayan Mitten
think twice

I thought I'd be getting a warm mitten with these but was a little disappointed. When I first used them the tempurature was around ten degrees, my activity was light to moderate. Around 45 minutes I felt my thumbs starting to get cold and had to move them to the finger area. Also, when trying to grab an object the inside seems to slip and not grab easily. For $100+ these should be better designed.
