robpatterson5 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 So I've been out in rather cold conditions latley and I'm thinking of adding a pair of mitts to my collection of gloves. Not looking for something super warm (I have BD Mercury Mitts for that), but I am looking for something warm, that I can still climb ice in and hopefully that also have a taped warperfroof shell that I can use on its own or as a windmit. I was looking at the OR Cornice Mitts which seem to fit the bill, but was wondering what people were useing? I like the idea of the Cornice Mitts b/c they seem like they would be a resnoubly dexterious mitt for ice routes, they have the taped Gore outter and I'm hopeing that I can use the inner as a SUL belay mitt over softshell gloves. But has anyone used them? I'm worried about dextarity and warmth and about rappelling with the rubber palm! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceaxe23 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 If you can find them as I think they are discontinued try the Marmot Mutant mitts the have the trigger finger and padded knuckles. they have a removable liner and a driclime lining [img:left]http://i11.ebayimg.com/08/i/001/30/fb/5175_1.JPG[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickster Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I use an Alit mitt outer with the alti glove liner, best of both worlds. Or I will use OR contact gloves for my inner and the cornice glove as my outer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattS Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I recently used a pair of the OR northwall mitts. Really liked them - very warm and a good price. I used power stretch liners under them and never had cold fingers during winter alpine endeavors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
