Take the Outdoor Research Cornice Mitts anywhere you're comfortable traveling and they will keep you comfortable while you're there.
It's OR. What else do you need?
Very simple, rugged design. OR once again comes through with exactly what you have come to expect. Liner mitts are removable and still roomy enough to accept a base layer glove underneath. Cordura/GORE-TEX shell does what GORE-TEX does. 'Nuff said. It's the same combo as the Crocodile gaiters, so these mitts can definitely take some punishment. Wrist cinch on top, gauntlet cinch with opposing cords, all easy to use with the mitts on. Idiot cords are easy as well.
great purchase
They are great, even keep my hands toasty on -30 F days. Love the idiot proofing so I can't lose them. Only bad thing is my grip does not curve exactly with glove, so dexterity is decreased.
Tough and very warm
I bought these mittens because my finger tips get frost bit easily. With these mittens I don't seem to have that problem. The shell seems tough and likely will stand up to lots of abuse. They are a little pricey but in this case I definitely got what I paid for. Overall very impressed.
