Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Equipment Mountain Mitts are designed for adult trekkers and winter mountaineers who need a reliable, waterproof solution for cold, challenging environments. Featuring a durable nylon shell with an integrated DRILITE membrane, these mitts offer excellent protection against snow and wind while maintaining breathability; however, users should note that the mitt design naturally limits manual dexterity compared to traditional five-finger gloves.

FAQs

Are these mitts touchscreen compatible?

No, the design focuses on durability and weather protection, which limits touchscreen functionality.

Can I use these for downhill skiing?

Yes, they provide sufficient protection for skiing, though they lack the specialized wrist guards found in some ski-specific gloves.

Do I need to apply waterproofing spray?

The shell has a DWR coating which may need refreshing over time. If water stops beading on the surface, a DWR re-proofer can be used.

Are these suitable for sub-zero temperatures?

Yes, the POLARLOFT insulation is designed for cold winter conditions, though individual cold tolerance varies.

What is the benefit of the mitt style over a glove?

Mittens keep your fingers together, which allows them to share body heat and generally provides significantly better warmth than five-finger gloves.

How should I store them during the off-season?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before putting them away to prevent mildew.

Troubleshooting

Moisture buildup inside the mitt

While the DRILITE membrane is breathable, excessive sweating during high-exertion activities can overwhelm it. Try wearing lighter liner gloves to help wick moisture away from your skin.

Drawcord toggle sticking

Check the cord housing for debris or ice buildup. Clear any obstructions and ensure the cord is not twisted inside the cuff.

Reduced grip performance

The Suregrip palm can become slick if caked with dust or oils. Clean the palm surface with warm water and a mild detergent to restore its original tackiness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior warmth provided by POLARLOFT insulation
  • Effective waterproof and breathable protection via DRILITE technology
  • Easy one-handed adjustment for quick sealing in high winds
  • Enhanced surface friction from the Suregrip palm
  • Soft internal lining for extended comfort

Cons

  • Reduced finger dexterity due to mitt construction
  • Not suitable for technical tasks requiring fine motor skills
  • Black colorway may show dirt or salt buildup after prolonged use

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; this air gap acts as an additional layer of insulation. For the drawcord closure, simply pull the cord to tighten against the wrist and release the toggle to loosen.

Care Instructions:

  • Regularly wipe away surface mud or salt with a damp cloth.
  • If cleaning is necessary, hand wash in cool water with a mild, non-detergent technical soap.
  • Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the DRILITE membrane and insulation loft.
  • Always air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the nylon or membrane from becoming brittle.
