my google foo is lacking or no one makes any; want a really light pair of mitts (like 1-ish oz light) for spring/fall- plenty of light gloves, not seeing light mitts

Mitts are awfully easy to sew at home.

I sewed some polyester ones for warmth, and some cuben fiber shells for waterproofness.

The rei mittens were extremely warm for their thickness. They are a very tightly knit wool. They large and XL I tried on seemed to be sized to use instead of liner gloves. They were $35 if I recall correctly :)

"ZPacks fleece mittens – 1.2 oz."

"those would definitely work, funny no sizes though?????"

Can anyone comment on this? I bought the MLD eVent rain mitts in size Medium, and can wear OR PL150 or Backstop gloves with them, but would love a thin mitten for a liner.
I have thick hands with stubby fingers, so gloves whose finger length fits me often leave my fingers almost as cold with them as without, presumably due to decreased circulation(?).
That may be a bit of a "perspective pic" on the ZPacks site, but those fleece mitts look pretty big…

that's what I thought, unless the hand model has really small hands

I ordered some women's L/XL 100 Polartec mittens from Lands End- $4.99 a pair, some of the reviews said they ran big- which might just be the ticket for me- they didn't have an equivalent model for men

The Lands End mittens are good quality, but 100w fleece wont last long with poles. They might be okay with a shell. They are light and a bargain at $5.

I'm having a hard time deciding. Purple beet or ivory?

Hi,
I own LE mitten in women L/XL and they rock for how lowe weight/ high warmth they are…Aircore is very warm for how light it is..but be warned I am normaly size M/L in OR or RAB glove/mitten but these from LE fit small and I think my hands are not that overly big:)..

I can layer them over very thin glove (silk, poly liner glove) but they fit snug over heavier powerstretch glove.

And for 5$..I would get two pairs for that price!

Cheers

P.S.
I went with Purple and I like the color..

Got my mittens and the fit is perfect, my hands are almost always medium. The weight is exactly one ounce and they have the nice clips to keep them together like OR uses. Got them in black. Just ordered six more pairs (three for my wife) :)
