Outdoor Research Latitude Mitten
Not what I expected

These mittens come in two parts: A gore-tex mitten shell and an insulated glove liner. I was expecting the mitten to be insulated as well but it's nothing more than a thin layer over the glove. This kind of defeats the purpose of having a mitten in the first place where your fingers are all in contact and not separated, as in a glove.
Didn't bother wearing them (intended to use them for skiing). Returned them and got the Hestra Heli Mitt instead. Exactly what I was looking for.
