Recent Insulated Glove/Mitten Reviews

Black Diamond Soloist Gloves
A warm glove for winter that’s very comfortable. Removable liner, leather palm, and a proprietary waterproof/breathable membrane in the shell highlight the features that help make this a good cold weather companion. Surprising warmth for the price point, balanced by somewhat limited use of your fingers. A step down from the well-reviewed Black Diamond Guide Glove in anticipated durability.

Black Diamond Super Light Mitts
Cold fingers no more. Waterproof shell, decent insulation, and a long wrist cover keeps the cold out. My wife suffers from cold hands. Smaller gloves are great for ascending when we are working hard. But the peak and descent = cold. Enter the BD Super Light Mitts. These are a premium glove with great materials and a good amount of insulation. We've tested these on numerous high elevation >9k feet summits and they are worth their weight. The size small tops the scale at 8.7 oz. Below you can see… Full review

Outdoor Research RadiantX Gloves
OR's RadiantX Gloves employ their new HeiQ XReflex insulation technology to provide warmth while active yet retain dexterity to perform tasks without taking them off. Flexible shell material on the back of the hand, durable panels in the grip area with low profile, recycled poly insulation sandwiched between. Nice leash among other features. . I spent the entirety of last winter testing Outdoor Research's RadiantX Gloves in a wide variety of conditions. From late fall of 2021 through to early… Full review

Outdoor Research Toddlers' Adrenaline Mitts
A pair of winter-ready (insulated and waterproof) toddler mitts that have kept my little one's hand warm and dry this winter. Like all kids stuff, sizing may be tricky, but as long as they fit, the mitts can handle almost any little kid's winter adventure. Conditions and Tester Specs: My daughter wore the Outdoor Research Toddlers' Adrenaline Mitts during the winter months in central Pennsylvania. At the time of testing, she was 15-18 months old (and wearing mostly 2T clothes for size reference)… Full review

Kinco 901 Lined Heavy Duty Premium Grain & Suede Pigskin Driver with Knit Wrist
If you place a premium on durability and cost-effectiveness, these four-season beasts might be your gloves. Well-insulated, made from pigskin with a double-layer of leather on the palms and fingers. You have to waterproof them, they take a fair bit of time to break in because the leather is so firm, and there are warmer options. Buy them from hardware suppliers—outdoors sellers overcharge for them. Though Kinco is a brand more often associated with people who work hard outside, their 901 insulated… Full review

Gordini Cache Gauntlet Glove
A good use of synthetic material to make a tough glove that resists water and dries out quickly. With additional glove liners they work well in cold temperatures. I’ve given up on finding the one perfect glove and now I keep a half dozen pairs for different activities like running, climbing, winter camping, and skiing. The Gordini Cache definitely fit into a couple of those slots. Nice, dry snow, moderately warm gloves The Cache gloves fit nicely into the skiing and alpine mountaineering slot… Full review

Outdoor Research Transcendent Down Mitts
Prices are steep. However, the entire mitten is 80 goose and 20 other feathers. My purchases were at the end of the winter season in the United States. The entire mitten is 80 goose and 20 other feathers (80/20 down fill). My first pair of these I bought at some other website I paid $24. About one month later at that same website they were offering the same, only a different design that wasn't selling well; I got two pairs for $13. Because of that purchase, the website provided me with a free shipping… Full review

Black Diamond Glissade Gloves
Very well-made gloves with a great balance of warmth and dexterity within their temperature rating, for general mountaineering, mountain activities, and more. Bought them for a winter trip and while keeping in mind that my activities in the mountains will diversify and become more technical in the next few years. I bought the previous year's model now that a new one has surfaced and got a bargain. The outer shell is synthetic and inspires confidence in its water proof and windproof abilities. The… Full review

Outdoor Research Carbide Sensor Gloves
I wanted a warm, Gore-tex over-the-cuff-style glove with wrist straps for skiing and snowmobiling and that's exactly what these gloves are. The fit is great, the quality has held up so far, and the price is ranged correctly for the value that you get. Outdoor Research's Carbide Sensor Glove Outdoor Research's Carbide Sensor Gloves are a thick, warm, cold-weather glove designed for significant exposure. I bought a pair of these for a snowmobiling trip to Speculator, N.Y., last January and they… Full review
