Mountain Hardwear Lightspeed Mittens
hmmm

Ranked #41 - Mittens
March 24, 2008
Initially I was stoked with the new lightspeed mitties! They kept my hands warm while digging in the snow with the wind howling by. After two or three days of use however I must adjust my level of enthusiasm. The seam between the rubberized palms and the textile area on the sides has cracked open in several places, leaving it permeable for moisture.
The fleece inners however are genius. Warm, with clever rubber patches on index/thumb/palm areas that increases grip.
Summed up I'll give them a nod for warmth and a shake for build quality.
