Outdoor Research Alti Mitten - Men's
Super warm and well made
By John Hansen
Ranked #291 - Mittens
March 17, 2008
My hands tend to get cold, especially when sitting around. I keep these in my pack for those down times and when above treeline in the White Mountains of NH on cold and windy traverses. They are as warm as you would expect for a high altitde mitten. I wear them with a liner, and they are easy to get on/off without pulling the liner out too. Don't expect to do much with your hands while wearing these, other than holding a rope. Even a bit hard to hold ski poles. My hand measurements were right on the edge between large and extra large. Seems a bit big and I wonder if the large would have seemed a bit small. Wish they had one more cinch strap over the top of the hand, but that's just nit picking, because these are warm and well made mittens.
