Nice and Toasty

I agonized over the decision about what gloves to wear on a multi-day alpine hike/climb. I finally dropped the big bucks on these bad boys, and I was NOT disappointed. First, I should say that I tend to have cold fingers/toes at altitude and I brought extra chemical handwarmers just in case. With these mitts, I didn't need them. They are very solid and durable, and I loves the gore-tex waterproofing. The insulation is wonderful and lightweight. They are certainly big mitts, and dexterity is a problem. I also agree that the gauntlet is a little bit too small and can be a pain. These negatives aside, I am very glad that I paid the extra bucks and got these mitts. I still have all 21 of my important digits.
