Certainly are warm...

By Westy Ranked #576 - Mittens February 16, 2009

These mitts certainly are warm, that is if you can actually get your hand in them and do anything afterwards such as grasp a pole... I've always been a fan of gloves however this year after having some issues with warmth, I decided to go for the mitten. With warmth foremost in mind I choose the black diamond absolute. Upon actually seeing them when they arrived I had doubts of having any dexterity at all which were confirm after I tired putting them on. I gave them an honest chance on a weekend snowshoe trek and in addition to realizing I couldn't do anything with my hands, I also found a break in one of the seams of the liner and noticed that the stitching was coming loose on one of the shells...that was enough to convince me to return them. Not what I expected for the price. I ended up with the OR Alti mitt and am completely happy…half the size, just as warm.
