Fleece mittens

PostedFeb 6, 2019 at 7:46 pm

So my wife took my black diamond soloist gloves skiing and lost them. Instead of replacing them, I’ve thought about putting together a mitten system instead. I have some BD liners and Borah Gear event shells. I just need to find some decent fleece mid weight mittens. Despite searching high and low online, I haven’t been able to find any. Any suggestions? The OR PL400 seemed to be popular but I can’t find any in stock. I’d rather not spend a lot of money on these unless I have to. Any suggestions on where to look?

Ragged Mountain makes some from Polartec 200 Classic.

I was excited to find them, unfortunately they only have two sizes in stock and didn’t respond to my inquiry about when they might have more stock.

I own a pair from Zpacks and they’re pretty decent

Unfortunately, zpacks doesn’t make them anymore.

Do a search for fleece mittens on Etsy, lots of stuff comes up.

Also, for backpacking/hiking (not skiing), you might consider the insulated pogies that Yama Mountain Gear sells (though they’re not cheap at $60). I really like mine, very versatile.

Thanks for the suggestion Doug. Never really been on etsy but I’ll check it out.

Perhaps somewhere like LL Bean or Lands End?

No need to spend a lot on fleece gloves. https://www.amazon.com/Marmot-Fleece-Glove-Large-Black/dp/B06XJSHQGW/ref=asc_df_B06XJSHQGW/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241977033965&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10482018554376014435&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9060505&hvtargid=pla-592643871052&psc=1

Recently replaced the OR inner mittens with these: https://www.amazon.com/Carhartt-Mens-Flip-Black-Large/dp/B00AFVHA66/ref=sr_1_sc_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1549500328&sr=8-10-spell&keywords=carhart+mitts

(Flip mitts are really handy..)

I have had a pair of these for years and years. They’re only $15 Canadian Loonies, so even with shipping they are a good deal. Mine are 2.4 oz for the large.
