Ranked #332 - Mittens

yes they are bulky if you have the liners in and yes they are priced a bit steep, but when you are miles from the nearest safety exit these are the mitts you want to save your digits. the palms are super grippy, cinch cords work great, and the idiot cord is awesome in high winds when you need to take them off to use your hands for precise work. my hands have never been cold with them on and i have used them in temps down in the minus 35. i have never had another mitt keep my hands warm in that temp, period.
