They’re comfy and warm! They made it through last winter without any issues to note.

Super Light And Super Warm!

These have been great to carry in my pack in the backcountry and work great at warming up my hands quickly. They are a must have in my winter pack.

Great Mitts!

I love that they make an XS. I have tiny hands and it's nice to have down mitts that fit me well and provide me with ideal warmth.

Great Gloves But Color Not As Shown

The bright blue color shown in the product catalog photo is not the color of the gloves. The picture attached shows the correct color. Also these are to be used as fashionable c gloves on cold weather. Not functional for sports.

Miracle Mitts

It has happened. A gear brand has created a mitt that kept my Raynaud’s at bay! I’m a generally cold person, who has Raynaud’s—and I live in northwest Wyoming. Additionally, I’m a marathoner, and I walk my dog roughly 3 miles every day; so I spend a significant of time outdoors in super cold temps. I, quite literally, return home after winter runs and walks with my hands in pain. I have SO many mediocre pairs of gloves. THIS MITTEN HAS DONE THE IMPOSSIBLE! It has kept my hands warm and comfortable while I’m outside, have to take my mitts off from time to time, and when I’m getting blasted by snow and wind. I have the utmost confidence they’re going to continue to do the job when temps drop into single digits and below.

Super Warm

The best mittens I have ever had. And I teach skiing almost every day in Snowmass Colorado. Ready to buy a new pair! 🩷

I Had My Hopes Up

i was excited to find gloves with down insulation. i was planning on layering these under heavy mountaineering over mits. i got these and they were too thick for that. wearing them under different mits felt tight, comoressed the down, and caused me to lose all dexterity. worn alone, the gloves work well but it feels like the inner lining of the gloves slides all over, causing the down to get thin in places. the sliding inner liner also makes dexterity bad even when worn alone. big problems if these get wet from sweat or outside moisture. tried taking them skiing, hiking, and mountaineering but they were a flop. honestly id only recommend these for cold neighborhood walks. the materials are also good quality

Great Glassing Glove

Have used these from sitting around the campfire and even the back patio on cold nights, to scouting for elk in the Rockies.

Great For Walks And Stationary Events

These are great for warmth even down to -20*F as long as you have decent blood circulation. they are not the most durable which is why I didnt give 5 stars but they are great other than that.

Super Warm

Great pair of gloves for cold weather. My son uses them for hikes or keeps them in his jacket pocket. They're super light ridiculously warm. Recommend using them only on really cold days.

Took These To Summit Camp In Greenland.

These mittens are very warm. I took them as a replacement liner for a pair of snowboarding mittens that I’ve been using for years. They are very warm. I used them when riding snowmobiles and working in temps down to -30F. They are not very tough so I wouldn’t recommend using them for work unless you are using an outer shel to protect them.

Great Price And Quality

I've been using the Outdoor Research down mittens for several seasons now, and they’ve quickly become a must-have piece of gear in my pack—especially during glassing sessions in cold conditions. Whether I’m posted up on a windy ridge or sitting still for hours waiting on movement, these mitts deliver serious warmth without sacrificing packability. The insulation is top-notch, keeping my fingers from freezing even when temps drop into the single digits. I’ve worn a lot of gloves and mittens over the years, but these are on another level when it comes to retaining heat. They also slide easily over a thinner glove, which makes it easy to pop them off quickly when I need to get hands-on with optics or gear. Durability has been impressive too. I've dragged them through brush, snow, and all sorts of rough terrain without a single issue—no tearing, no cold spots, no failed seams. Bottom line: if you spend time glassing or hunting in cold weather, these mittens are worth every penny. Lightweight, ultra-warm, and built for real-world use. Outdoor Research nailed it.

Warm Mitts

Some of the warmest mitts I own. These are great for cold days in the mountains where you need something that packs down small and light. They aren't abrasion resistant so don't expect these to be a new winter work glove but paired with a shell mitt they've been a life saver. Ideal for someone who's hands get particularly cold and are needing a light weight & packable solution. These are always with me when snowmachining, winter camping, and low single digit ski days as a warmer backup.

Best Gloves!

I actually use these gloves when I run in extremely cold temps. They are easy to take on and off and keep my hands warm for long runs.

Lofty Camp Mittens

These mittens fit according to the size chart; they are solely camp mitts for me, as they lack dexterity or durability for hiking, but i knew this when i bought them. They are warm, lightweight and I like the color
