"The mitts are great except they don't fit anyone I know! The women's large mitts are too big for me (size chart says size L for me), too big for my adult-sized sons, too tight in the cuffs for my dad. The consensus is that they seem like boxing gloves. They are about an inch or two too long. Sadly, sending them back. The quality is top notch and they do seem really warm."
"My wife always used a heat pack specific glove in the past while skiing, as she suffers from Rayauds syndrome. Poor circulation in hers hands and feet. She was able to use the progression Mitts without heat packs. It’s been a game changer for her. Wrist rentention system also a plus."
"I found these nuts to be very cold, my fingers with liners went numb in them. They’re also very tight on the wrist so getting your hand in the glove is challenging. I also found the length too short for most ski coat arms, leaving me less protection from the elements than needed. Wanted to love these because of the style, but just not functional."
"I purchased these for my wife and she is very happy with them. Warm and sturdy and waterproof. Just what you need for skiing or playing in the snow with the kids. Highly recommend."
"I was looking forward to these for the ‘25-‘26 ski season, but the fit is just so uncomfortable. I measure a medium but according to other reviews I sized down to a small. My hands still have so much room in the mitt, they’re swimming. I would have gone to an XS but the cuff is so tight, trying to get them on is a challenge, especially with the extra material from the mitt being huge. They’re also really hard to wear over a watch since the cuffs are so, so tight. I found that the temperature regulation was hard to manage with all the space in the mitt. One minute my hands were hot and sweating and the next they were cold with all the volume. I tried wearing liners, but again, getting them on with the tight cuff was a struggle. My old BD Spark mitts were amazing but sadly no longer waterproof, so I was excited about the goretex in these. Please work on sizing!"
"Perfection for backcountry skiing, inbound too. Very warm"
"Really love the mittens, keep my hands really warm and like that they fit under my coat sleeves. But the wrists are really tight so it's kind of a struggle to get them on."
"As a ski patroller I end up doing long projects outside without the ability to go warm up, and these mitts have proven to be extremely useful during our cold cycles!"
"These gloves keep my hands warm however there is too much extra space in the actual mitt, which could be good if used for heat packets."
"I had to return them because they were too big (medium is larger than my Dakine medium) but they are super sort and warm, I’ll be getting them in the right size!"
