Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking for some warmer mitts for those sub -10C days, have BD gloves which are ok in the low minus temps, but just not up to it when it gets cold. Liking the look of the Ortovox mitts - anyone using them and can give a first hand review?
Thanks

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I think a friend has the BD Guide lobster gloves, and rates them really highly. And the missus has a pair of hestras and is very pleased with those (though not sure she's used them in very cold conditions yet either). I'm too cheap to buy Hestra unless they're discounted though

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Just an update on these - eventually managed to get around to ordering some Ortovox mitts, which arrived yesterday. Sizing is HUGE! I expected to be a M or L (L in BD gloves) and the small was ok, although the thumb was quite snugl! Medium was baggy on the hand but the thumb fitted.
However, the main thing I found was that they were very thin. The insulation may be ground-breaking, but there wasn't much of it!! I just didn't have the confidence that they'd be warm enough for what I was after so they went back. So no review in cold conditions unfortunately! Got a pair of BD Guide Lobsters coming into my local Ellis Brigham to try so will probably go with them if they fit ok....
