Winter Mittens

I’ve tested a lot of winter gloves and mittens over the years, and these Tough Outdoors mittens are among the best when it comes to keeping your hands warm in extreme cold. Whether I’m on the mountain skiing, snowboarding, or just out in freezing temperatures, these mittens have never let me down. They’re well-insulated, with the SummitLoft insulation truly living up to its promise of warmth. Even in below-freezing temperatures with strong winds and heavy snowfall, my hands stay toasty and comfortable.One of the biggest perks of these mittens is their waterproofing. I’ve worn them in wet snow for hours, and my hands stayed completely dry. The outer shell repels moisture really well, and the inner lining feels soft and cozy. They also have a great wrist strap that helps keep them secure, and the adjustable cinch ensures no snow sneaks in.That said, these do run a little big. If you prefer a snug fit or are between sizes, I’d recommend sizing down. However, the extra room isn’t necessarily a bad thing, especially if you like to wear glove liners underneath for even more warmth.Overall, these mittens are an excellent choice for anyone who needs serious cold-weather protection. Whether you’re hitting the slopes, shoveling snow, or just braving a frigid winter night, these will keep your hands warm and dry. Highly recommend!

First let me say there is a big difference between the M3 &M4 models. I had a pair of M3 size medium And I ordered a paid for my wife and received the M4 and they were considerably larger and longer cuff then the M3. My hand measures about 8.2 my wife about 7.5 and the medium-large felt slightly large for her but wasn’t so large that it was out of the question. So I ordered her the X-small/small and they fit her perfectly. I could actually wear them being a size 8.2 but they were a little snug so the medium/large is perfect. Mind you the M4 was much larger even for me so I ended up returning theM4 not sure if it was a ordering mistake or they sent the wrong ones but there is a difference.So 8.2 then medium fits great with some room. They r snug for a x small/small7.5 a x small/small perfect but could wear the medium/largeOk now on the mittens. Me and my wife we walk every day in all temps and we have tried different gloves that guaranteed protection down to zero or even below and both our hands were constantly cold so knowing mittens are a better protection keeping the hands and fingers warmer we switched and we wouldn’t go back. These mittens have nice elastic bands so if you want to take them off they can be attached to your wrists so you don’t need to hold them. I will say around 30 deg my hands begin to sweat just enough that I take them off and let them dangle as I walk. My wife’s hands were warm but not sweating. Now we have walked in temps in the low teens with pain high wind gusts and both our hands were toasty warm. My wife does say after a while in the coldest temp her thumb starts to feel colder then her fingers. I don’t have that issue. They protect your hands from cold and wind perfectly. If you like a longer gauntlet mitten select the M4 as they are several inches longer. For us it created difficulty going over out coat sleeves and going under even harder. The M3 are perfect. I do open the snaps on the ends of my coat sleeve and it slides over them easily.I have worn these snowblowing in the coldest of temps. Winds below zero and they stayed warm for the hour I was outside. Since we both have the same mittens mine a size larger I took some Marker paint and colored the small logo on each mitten a different color so we can easily tell who’s is who. For the price these are what they are they do what they are supposed to do in the coldest of weather. I was not paid for my review, no discount just an honest review of a product that lives up to the hype.

These are well-made and warm, but I returned them because the size chart is not accurate. They are smaller than they should be for the size it is. So if you are going to purchase them, make sure you get one or two sizes larger.

I suffer from a post-frostbite incident many years ago, so now I have similar symptoms as folks with Raynaud’s Syndrome. I’ve spent a small fortune trying to find gloves or mittens that kept my fingers warm. I live in the upper Midwest, and winters can be brutal, but as of late, my fingers can’t handle even 30 degree weather. I even tried inserting hand warmers inside my gloves, but I couldn’t even be out for 15 minutes before my fingers started hurting and going numb. I bought two pairs on Amazon, both had nice reviews, but one seemed more likely a strong possibility. It was military grade and had a wool liner. It was more expensive, but I believe that you get what you pay for. When I saw these mittens, I couldn’t believe that it was getting such high reviews and this price! I gambled and ordered them both. When the two pairs arrived it was snowing, so I got to try them both out. I naturally picked the more expensive ones first. They were okay, but needed hand-warmers before I even got the driveway cleared. Switched to this pair and I’m telling you it was like night and day. Not only did the lining feel nicer … wool can be a bit itchy, but I was snow blowing for more than an hour in 23 degrees and my hands were warmer than when I put them on. Seriously! Over the years I’ve spent sometimes $180 on ski gloves than didn’t keep my hands as warm as these. They lasted the winter and look great still. Even if they only last 2-3 years, they’re a steel at this price. Now the only thing I’ll point out, and I believe I read this by one of the reviewers, after an hour, maybe a little less depending on how your hands are, my hands did start to sweat. The potential issue for some of you is that once this happens, the lining is wet. Then you would have a problem if you took them off, got your hands cold and then put them back on. I’m not sure it would be very comfortable. I don’t know, because for my purpose, I always had the time to toss them in the dryer for a couple minutes (lining pull out) and they’re good to go. Now I’m not certain they even recommend that you do that … tossing them in the dryer, but I put them in on medium heat for about 15 minutes and they were fine. I also let them air dry over night and they were dry when I needed them. I’m still amazed that I found these mittens, they truly were a life changer for me … if you have my condition or Raynaud’s, you know what I’m talking about.
