Hi there, I'm thinking of getting some MLD eVent mitts. I have BPL mitts but wonder if I need an upgrade shell. I use OR down mitts underneath but wonder about a more rainproof inner mitt. Any thoughts?

I have had the same thoughts recently. Another option I've found is the Haglof's Gram Shell mitten. Slightly heavier at 50g but potentially more durable with a 70D face fabric.
I just pulled a 22 day January backpacking trip and used my just-purchased MLD eVent mitt shells to keep my fleece liner gloves dry during many cold days of rain. They work great.
The mitts in action on the Flats Mt trail. Previously my fleece warmth-gloves got wet with any amount of wet-tent take-down or hiking in sleet storms but so far these shells work great and keep my liners dry.
