Outdoor Research Meteor Mitten
Must have mittens

Ranked #388 - Mittens
December 12, 2009
Used these mittens for backcountry skiing, overnight in the Sierra in winter and when I need a serious waterproof mitten. Recently I worked on splitting and piling wet wood while it was snowing and in the teen temps (wind, too) all in these mitts.. My hands were SO warm and completely dry. After a wash, they look like new again. I also use them with different liners, depending on where I am at, although the liner it comes with is decent. I wear a small size and they fit well - I normally wear s/m gloves in womens. The drawstring and belted features helps keep these mitts in place and the inners extra dry; a feature I appreciate as I have very small wrists.
