There's a fine line between retro cool and trying-to-be-retro crap, and DaKine has figured it out and put genuine retro cool into its Women's Targa Mitt. The Targa is not a new DaKine model, but it continues to be one of the nicest styled, most technically functional mitts on the market. It comes equipped with Gore-Tex for guaranteed dry hands and has a full leather palm and thumb for maximum durability. The fact that it's a mitt, which decreases the amount of surface area exposed to the elements (along with sharing the warmth between your fingers) makes the Targa Mitt the ideal hand-jacket for those cold winter days. And since, on those same cold winter days, your nose is probably going to run, the back of the thumb is a nice soft suede (TK) that is happy to wipe your nose all day long without rubbing the skin off.
