The higher you getthe higher you get with the Outdoor Research Alti Mitts for men, that are designed for 8000m peaks expeditions, Arctic exploration, and other seriously cold pursuits. The anatomically curved GORE-TEX shell is fully seam taped with targeted insulation on the back of the hand and thumb with Moonlite Pile fleece at the palm. The liner mitt adds a double dose of PrimaLoft and Moonlite Pile insulation to ensure that your digits come home when you do.
If it's really cold...
...your hands are going to thank you! Super warm and comfy. Total, ultimate hand protection. As mentioned earlier, with a thin fleece liner you can just slip your hand out and preform finer tasks and then slip your hand back into your furnace.
I Recommend Altrec.com
My friend and I will be trekking in the Himalaya's October 2009. After much searching we selected Altrec.com as the source of most of our gear. We each bought more than 15 items as the foundation of our cold weather wardrobe, and usually found what we wanted on sale. The sales reps were very knowledgeable, professional and congenial. We highly recommend Altrec.com as a full service on-line source for a very wide variety of outdoor products. The Alti Mitts typify the quality we wanted. They appear so much better than any I have ever owned.

I climbed a 14,000' in January with a friend and he had a pair of Alti's and I had a pair of older Marmot's and my hands froze, his were fine. I borrowed them for about 10 minutes and my hands warmed up enough to get me down. As soon as I saw them on sale on Altrec.com I purchased. They fit to size and feel great, love the liner.
