Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Equipment Mountain Mitt is designed for adult hikers, trekkers, and mountaineers seeking dependable hand protection in cold, wet alpine environments. By combining a waterproof DRILITE insert with effective POLARLOFT insulation, these mitts offer a robust barrier against the elements, making them a reliable choice for winter adventures; however, users should note that as a mitten design, they offer less individual finger dexterity compared to technical gloves.

FAQs

Are these mitts suitable for extreme cold?

They are well-suited for typical winter conditions and mountaineering, but personal tolerance for cold varies based on individual circulation and activity levels.

Can I use these with touchscreens?

No, these mitts are not designed for touchscreen compatibility.

Are they fully waterproof?

Yes, they feature a DRILITE insert that provides a high level of waterproof protection.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your hand circumference at the widest point and refer to the brand's size chart to ensure the correct fit.

Can the mitts be machine washed?

It is recommended to hand wash to protect the integrity of the waterproofing and the insulation loft.

Troubleshooting

Hands feeling damp inside the mitt

This is often caused by excessive sweat; ensure you are not overdressing, or loosen the cuff slightly to allow more airflow.

Loss of grip on poles

Check the palm area for dirt or ice buildup; wipe with a damp cloth to restore the tacky texture of the Suregrip material.

Drawcord not holding tight

Ensure the internal cord lock is free of ice or debris by gently rinsing with warm water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio provided by POLARLOFT insulation
  • Fully waterproof and breathable construction
  • Enhanced grip makes handling equipment easy
  • Simple, effective single-handed cuff adjustment
  • Durable Nylon outer shell stands up to rugged terrain

Cons

  • Mittens offer less finger dexterity than five-finger gloves
  • Bulkier profile may not fit inside tight jacket cuffs
  • Not intended for extreme high-altitude technical climbing requiring precision

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Mountain Mitts, verify the fit by checking that there is a small amount of space at the fingertips to allow for heat circulation. When securing the mitts, adjust the drawcord until the cuff is snug against your mid-layer or jacket sleeve to prevent snow ingress.

Care instructions:

  1. Hand wash using a technical detergent designed for synthetic fabrics and waterproof membranes.
  2. Rinse thoroughly to remove soap residue.
  3. Drip dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damaging the membrane.
  4. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof coating.
