WARMEST Women's Ski Mittens

[MattD]

I had BD mitts and wore them out. Now have Swany. bought them because they looked like the same high-loft mitt. But they are NOT nearly as warm. I now use handwarmers most days.

FYI I noticed on BD website that they say the Mercury mitts are for -20 to 40 degree temps while their Absolute mittens go all the way down to -40. (that's where the C and F come together and is very Cooold.)

Thanks for the info on the Absolute mittens ... they look like dexterity might be an issue wearing them.

Personally, for really cold days I wear an Astis mitten with a thin liner...so warm.

.

I concur.

which is super helpful since my Reynauds usually causes sweaty palms and icy fingers

Did not know you had Reynauds. I did a boot fit on a woman who is a high level skier with Reynauds. Its an interesting dynamic to get a performance fit while being extra cautious about circulation. Obviously circulation is always a concern, but when you're fitting someone with Reynauds or Diabetes that concern is amplified.
A friend I ski with who has Type 1 ended up having me put BT bootheaters in her boots so she can control on her phone.


*Sorry for the mitten hijack.

I also have the Mercury Mitts and that are very warm So, I can easily feel comfort for 20ºF

What do you think about glove "Extremities Meridian Mitt"? Maybe someone uses it?

I'm in love with my Free the Powder mitts. I added some silk liners this year just to be able to pull them on and off easier. Last season we had 3 super frigid periods and I went looking for better mittens after the first one. These are the result and I liked them so much I bought my daughter a pair this Christmas.

Warmest mittens I've ever owned, too. And I've had a lot!

Outdoor Research Alti II Mitts are the mitts we break out if it gets below 15F.

I'll put in a plug for Kinko Axeman mittens. They're affordable and quite warm. They also make them in a decent run of sizes (all unisex).
