Alti II GORE-TEX Mitten

Small is too small of a word

would rate higher if it l didn't literally hurt my hand to be crammed in the appropriately measured glove quality materials, lame sizing

Wrist cinch could be better, but these keep my fingers warm which was not the case with my Haestras

Warm!

Hands were getting cold running ski races and WOW! Warm hands!!

Alti II mitts

Plenty warm in freezing weather. The mitts are very thick so it is not easy to grab ski poles with ease. But it is worth it to not lose my fingers to frostbite.

Wow these are warm!

Wore these for the first time today in low single digit temps skinning uphill - took them off when my hands got too warm - but wore them in the descent by which time the temp was below zero with high winds. Nice to have warm hands. Only nit is that the cuff cord is a little fiddly.

not worth it for east coast skiing

i didn't believe the other reviews but this glove is not that warm for east coast skiing. also the thumb (as another reviewer stated) runs short. i got the xl but it fits more like a L or M in other brands. hard to hold a ski pole. harder to hold ski pole with an additional liner. did not keep my hands warm in really cold weather. regret buying these. a nice 300 polar tech fleece mitt from polarmitts.com and got the extreme arctic mitts from an army/navy surplus store work better than this glove and was way cheaper. if you have problems with cold hands, stay away from these on the east coast. i used them at banff and whistler and they were fine but couldn't handle the same temp on the east coast in VT.

Very warm, good materials, easy to get on and off in the cold. Great when dealing with a lot of snow

Toasty

They have a large cuff that will fit over all layers. Extremely warm almost too warm wore them snowboarding in 20 degree weather. I took them off on the lift to keep my hands from sweating. Great glove extremely warm great for all skill levels especially when you're not generating much body heat!

Super warm

They have kept me warm and dry while patrolling. I don't have much dexterity in them but that's not what I need them for.

Comprehensive protection

The Alti II blends comfort, durability, and functionality into a singular mitt. These kept me warm and protected with a liner glove while on a week-long mountaineering expedition. Warm and dry, they felt great and protected my hands and lower arms well. Anyone looking for a rugged winter glove for backcountry expeditions, from skiing to winter hiking or mountaineering objectives, I couldn’t recommend these more.
