Serious Warmth

Ranked #706 - Mittens

If you're going to a big peak, near the poles, or other very cold place, these babies will keep you warm. True to size with a great fit and coverage they keep ther wind and water out as well. The only down side is you do lack some feel, so using an ice ax is a bit tougher, but you can't have everything. If you don't need the absolute ultimate, the Alti Gloves are very warm and will do fine for all but the very worst conditions.
