Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Equipment Mountain Mitts are designed for adult outdoor enthusiasts, including winter hikers, trekkers, and mountaineers who require reliable hand protection in harsh environments. These mitts excel by combining a waterproof DRILITE insert with high-loft POLARLOFT insulation to keep hands warm and dry, though 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 sub-zero temperatures?

They provide significant insulation for typical winter trekking, but for extreme high-altitude conditions, consider layering with thin liner gloves.

Can I operate a touchscreen while wearing these?

No, these mitts are designed for weather protection and grip, not touch-screen compatibility.

How do I determine the right size?

Measure your hand circumference at the widest point (excluding the thumb) and compare it against the brand's size chart to ensure a comfortable fit.

Are these machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash these mitts to preserve the integrity of the waterproof membrane and the Suregrip palm material.

What is the primary benefit of the DRILITE insert?

The DRILITE insert acts as a barrier to keep water out while allowing internal water vapor from sweat to pass through, keeping your hands dry from both the inside and outside.

Troubleshooting

Mitts feel damp inside after a long day.

The waterproof insert is likely working, but sweat may have accumulated. Turn the mitts inside out carefully to air dry the lining.

Water begins soaking through the outer shell.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Reapply a high-quality DWR spray specifically formulated for synthetic technical gear.

Drawcord does not stay tightened.

Check the cord lock for debris or frozen ice crystals. Clear any obstructions to ensure the locking mechanism can bite into the cord properly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal retention provided by POLARLOFT insulation
  • Highly effective waterproof protection from the DRILITE insert
  • Easy to adjust with one-handed drawcord closure
  • Suregrip palm enhances safety when using mountain tools
  • Durable nylon construction stands up to heavy abrasion

Cons

  • Limited finger dexterity inherent to the mitten design
  • Bulky profile compared to slim-fit gloves
  • Not intended for technical rock climbing or tasks requiring high tactile precision

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify the fit before heading out; your fingertips should not be compressed against the end of the mitt. To secure the fit, pull the single-handed drawcord until the cuff is snug against your forearm.

Care Instructions:

  • Hand wash in cool water with a mild, technical-friendly detergent.
  • Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof properties of the shell.
  • Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to protect the synthetic insulation and membrane integrity.
