World's Best Winter Mitts

You need to update. Granite Gear’s Lutsen Mitts have not been manufactured for four years.

I use Mercury mitts for Arrowhead ultra (with inner Haglofs Powerstretch gloves), and they work great :)

Please look at the last green photo on this page. There are green mittens with a pinetree and a superimposed ~ L & M. Anyone know what brand of mittens these are?

Thx!

Why don’t companies make mittens for winter running and walking ? Don’t need to have long sleeves that go half way up your arms, just insulated mittens to cover hands and wrists. Tons of gloves on the market, but not mittens. Don’t need the dexterity of gloves when running or walking, just the warmth.

True, the Granite Gear Mittens have not been made for several years. But I have a pair and they are great. We need Granite Gear to get with the program and begin making these mittens again. I live in Fairbanks Alaska. With some activity I have been comfortable to least 30 or 40 below. On many a more moderate days (20 below), I have walked down the river with my liner glove covered hands out of the mittens and steaming. If I would have wanted, I could have taken away a layer in side the mitten, but I went on. Bottom line…great mittens. Call Granite Gear!

I have a new pair of XL’s that I’m willing to sell. I tried them last winter when we got dumped on in New England. The most impressive ones that I’ve tried thus far are Buffalo Pertex mittens. Made in Great Britain. I own about 15 pairs of gloves,mitts, and liners,& I’m on the quest for the best.

Layers and moisture management are the key.

thin wool liner gloves [plus 2 sets of spares]
wool mittens
waterproof breathable shells

Sized so that all 3 layers can be worn at once

Mix and match as required by conditions

I like Smartwool glove liners with Foxriver wool mittens and Ragged Mountain alpine contour shells

I also bring a set of the Ragged Mountain Tucker Mitts which are double layer Polartec Highloft fleece.

i have a pair of large granite gear mitts. they are like new. they are up for sale.
