Black Diamond Absolute Mitten
warm

If your looking for warmth, I have found similiar performance between the Alti mitt and these. The Alti mitt is probably a little warmer, but they suck for dexterity. The lobster finger on the BD mitt makes it a little colder, but you can deal with you gear much easier, thus not pulling you hand out of your mitten, which deeats the whole purpose. Super great for those ski expeditions when you need dexterity and warmth
