Best mittens for Denali?

[OlegV]

I need an advice on mittens/gloves for cold weather mountainering. Do they have to be GorTex? Any specific brands with reasonable price?

basically look for the mitts in the $100 range. OR, TNF, and Marmot all make great cold weather mitts. make sure the palm is durable, amazing how much wear is caused by carrying a mt axe for a month.

I used the OR Ice Mitts on 2 trips to Bolivia. They are really beefy with padding over the fingers and knuckles and a double layer of Gor-Tex. Although it was butt-cold climbing Sajama in 40 mph wilds in the middle of the night I got by with only the single inner-liners. The double liners are probably only needed for polar exploration or for people with poor circulation. Bottom-line: bulky but toasty.

The Outdoor Research handwear line has nearly entirely changed from what you know from 2 or more years ago. I don't have any of them myself yet, but they look quite good and improved in many different ways. Their model for this category (maximum warmth) is this

check out the Black Diamond Guide gloves, they've proven to be very warm and very durable for my adventures last season!

Check out the Black Diamond trigger finger mitts I am selling in the yard sale. I'm in Portland these babies will serve you well. A lot cheaper than the OR gloves.
