Coldfront Down Mitten

Cozy gloves!

These gloves are definitely warm! I accidentally got them a size too big so it is hard to do much when wearing them but otherwise perfect for strolling through any winter paradise- woods or city! I love the bright yellow color- definitely not losing these!

Warm!

Warm and a great price! Used for xc skiing in zero degrees. Will try with downhill skiing as well

Warm and comfortable

When running on very cold days these mitts really keep your fingers warm and comfortable

Very warm if kept lofted.

I have always suffered from cold hands, and decided to try down. These have been toasty warm down to minus 25C so far. Amazing for the light weight. The trick is to keep the insulation uncompressed - don't grip anything, and don't wear these inside another layer. I wouldn't use them with ski poles for example. And in any case the shell is not toughened. But for keeping idle hands warm, these are ideal - far warmer than any mitts with synthetic insulation of similar thickness.

cozy and warm

I purchased as a packable light weight glove for split-boarding. great for keeping the hands warm on breaks. Can be a little difficult to get on and off when hands are sweaty. If a bigger size was available it's possible that would have resolved this minor issue.

Great addition

This is a great addition to your existing winter mitts to help keep you warm.

Light and warm

I have only used these mittens once so far, but they warmed up my already cold fingers in a few minutes. Great for backpacking or for packing an extra warm layer for you hands in case or emergency, as they are really light and compressible, yet feel very warm. I wouldn't use to grab onto things (poles during hiking/skiing or rocks during scrambling) as they don't seem very rough, but that's not what they are meant for anyway and you can layer under a goretex shell mitt.

Warm and cozy!

I am 5'2 and the XS was perfect and had space for my hand to move around. I LOVE them - the color is so vibrant, and I love that they clip together so they can't get lost.

Good mitts

Warm, well made, nice fit

Very warm mittens.

Large

I have only wore these a few times while walking my dogs but they are definitely warm. I actually took them off a few times because my hands were almost too warm. Tested them out on a 25 degree morning.
