The North Face Himalayan Mitten
Warm!

These mittens were basically made for one purpose-to keep your hands warmer than any other glove. They serve their purpose well. The dexterity actually isn't too bad for major functions such as carrying gear or operating a vehicle. The leather palms make for a good grip. However, trying to hook a zipper into it's track isn't worth keeping them on. They are well worth their value for me, even if I only use them a few times a year. However, I probably wouldn't pay full price unless I used them more often. They're limited useability makes them necessary only for those who need them.
