Dynafit Borax Overmitt

i always keep these in my pack and they work really well! keep my hands warm for skiing down and cold starts. i appreciate the opening in the middle which helps me quickly get my hands out for handling skins.

also, one morning, i forgot my gloves at home and realized the only gloves i had on me were these overmitts. i decided to risk it all and skin up the mountain in 13F weather wearing only these over my bare hands, and lo and behold they were even TOO warm.

Does anyone actually like the slit in the palm for being able to use your fingers without taking the mitt off? It seems like reviews mostly say it just makes the mitt less warm.

I got these overmitts for the specific purpose of carrying them around and whipping them out when needed. I also nordic, so I'm pretty much hooked on Lill Sport legend slim gloves for all winter activities and attempt to wear them in all conditions/weather so I find myself whipping these overmitts out fairly often (downhills, anytime I take too long on a transition, gloves got wet bc they're not even water resistant). They always warm my hands back up. I'm a size 6 in gloves and the small fits over them easily (not tightly, but in this instance I care more about ease of on/off than dexterity). Cons (I still say 5 stars because they do everything I want them to do, but I'm aware they're imperfect): the palm hole is weird, I don't know what it's four but it is a gap in the warming system. These are pretty bulky, not nearly a down mitt level bulk but you will have limited dexterity when wearing them. Because they're pretty big (despite claiming size small) and with that palm opening, there's really no chance of wearing these alone, they must always be worn over gloves.

I’ve been eyeing these for years and finally got them as a gift from my wife. I wasn’t 100% stoked in the Camp G Comp Warm glove/mitten combo as the fleece glove portion was not very comfortable and left black marks on everything when wet. These are very warm, been using them during our deep freeze (15°, with windchill down to 5°) and they are delightful. I love being able to change the warmth by using a different liner glove and they should work perfectly with a water proof over-mit, Outdoor Research Baker mit being my favorite. I’ll have these in my pack or on my hands almost all winter. Notes - leather thumb, fantastic build quality, and a very stretchy cuff that allows easy access to your watch.

Will you be getting more size L mitts for winter 2021/2022?

Purchased these this winter for back up warmth to wear over liner gloves. My wife has a pair of similar mittens from some other euro company that she raves about so I thought I'd give these a go. The fit and finish is very nice. The opening however stays open and the cold is always seeping in, especially when my hands are clenched or fingers bent i.e. almost always. When I hold my poles the slot folds open so my bare or gloved hands are in contact with the pole grip. So a bit disappointed.

any XS going to be coming in?

How do these compare in warmth/bulk/etc to these Crazy Idea over-mittens? (https://skimo.co/crazy-idea-over-glove)

Also if I was a Large in those Crazy Idea over-mittens, what size would you recommend in the Borax? Thanks

Couple questions:

How do these fit with the CAMP G Comp Warm Gloves? Specifically, the fact that the CAMP gloves have the insulating or windproof layer stored behind the wrist, does it get too tight in that area?

Also, is this glove warmer or more insulating than the G Comp Warm?

And last, should we size up to make room for the inner glove?

Thanks!

would these fit over la sportiva skimo gloves? Ive been wearing kinco the last few years and im ready to invest in a better solution, my hands tend to run cold. l love the dexterity of kincos but my hands have been uncomfortably cold too often. thanks!

These mittens are in my backpack pretty much through the whole winter season, they weigh close to nothing and make really good backup in case of unexpected cold.
