Gordini

I was looking for a gore-tex mitt with goose down, and the choices appear to be few and far between. This Gordini mitt has some excellent features in addition to those above-- a zip pocket for a heat packet, inner and outer wrist cinches, nose wipe thumb, and a plush lining. My only complaint is the loose fit for the fingers, which I think might have been intended. It actually gives you greater finger articulation, but you don't get a tight secure feeling. That being said, they're still very warm, so your fingers will not get cold. Even though the fit could be better, I would still recommend them because the features for the price is unrivaled. P.S.-- the measurement to determine size is to be completed by circling the front and back of the hand at the lowest knuckle joints, not including the thumb knuckle. I measured 8" and got a medium, as I was worried about a small being too tight, and the medium turned out to be a solid fit. I'd be interested in trying a small, but not at the price/hassle of ordering a second pair to try and possibly return.

Great mittens. Very affordable and warm. My hands get cold easily so I need warm mittens, these mittens fill the bill I love them.

I like it.

I can't yet speak to how warm these are in really cold weather because I didn't purchase them 'till the end of winter. I've only used them for riding a bicycle in temps in the low 30's and they did keep my hands warm without overheating at those temperatures. Note that the mfg rates these as a level below their warmest. They appear to be well put together and hopefully, the palm-side will wear well, but again, I haven't used them enough to judge durability. I chose these mittens principally for the long cuff which extends a couple of inches beyond the wrist bone. These don't have a knit cuff which I would prefer to close them off to the cold, but they do have elastic around half the wrist circumference plus a strap which can be snugged up. The inside of the cuff is poly fleece and the lining of the mitten is a smooth knit. There is a zipper to allow a heat pack to be slipped into the back of the mitten which would be a nice feature for frigid temperatures, though I personally hate to use throw-away items. There are a couple of problems with these mittens. One is sizing - and perhaps this is on Sierra Trading Post. According to their sizing chart, I should have purchased a Men's small for my 8" hand. I was skeptical given my typical size so I ordered a size large. That size fit snugly in girth and length and I like a little space for warmth and comfort so I had to return them and order an extra large which meant paying for shipping three times! (So much for inexpensive mittens.) Also, while the external face grips well, the interior liner is independent of the outside and slips around when trying to grip so I wouldn't recommend these for skiing or any other activity that requires you to hold on tightly to something like a ski pole. I'd say these are best for hiking, watching sports, etc.

nice looking and nice materials. Have not used them enough to know about durability but they look well made. only complaint is that the wrist strap is a tad short and barely hits the velcro tab

I love mittens for the ultimate warmth.

Ordered size larger than chart on site recommended and still too small. Sent back and got one size larger and then fine. That's 2 sizes larger than chart recommended and then fit. Nice mittens - good construction - great price. Sierra customer service great.

Measured my hand for sizing according to directions and bought one size up because I read they ran small. Had to exchange for the next size up because still too small. Very nice mittens for the price.

Can't wait to use Ice fishing Down insulation should be nice and toasty
