Good Options

Ranked #13 - Mittens

Great warm mitt with good options for temperature control. With the removable liner, you can feel free to wear the shells over anything you want, greatly expanding the possibilities of this mitt. For really cold days, wear a PL400 or the included liner. For warmer days, use a PL100-200 or other lightweight glove, or just wear the shell. On ascents I'll use a lightweight liner then switch over to the heavier (and drier!) liner for the descent. Great for saving space and a little weight as you won't be carrying two separate gloves.
One complaint is the lack of dexterity with the included liners. I've found that a heavier glove liner in place of the mitt liner helps with this and doesn't really cut down on warmth.
OR quality is top notch and their infinite guarantee makes these mitts a great option for your outdoor winter needs.
