Product Information

While assessing the quality of a pair of gloves or mittens, we consider warmth, waterproofing, durability, comfort, fit, versatility, style, and overall value. We make an effort to test every pair of gloves in a variety of conditions over many days of field testing. Once a year, the whole team gets together to ski for a week and compare notes on our favorite products. This roundup is a living document — whenever a new pair of mittens earns a spot, we’ll update the list.

Liners can also function on their own on warmer wintry days, so they’re never a bad investment. For such sports, domestic work, and mountaineering pursuits, you’ll want mitts made with durable materials, like goat leather, or mittens that are reinforced in high-friction zones.

So here’s one thing I don’t like about convertible mitts: most patterns feature either a closed thumb or an open thumb. That means you don’t have a choice with your thumb. It will be covered all the time, or it will be uncovered all the time.While our male testers found these gloves to fit just about right, our female testers reported a slightly snug fit in the size they traditionally would fit in. Size these mitts for comfort, with enough space at the end of your fingers to avoid cold spots.

Our convertible mitten takes the chill off in cold weather and gives you the agility you need to enjoy your time outdoors.

These convertible mitten gloves are a great option because they combine the best features of both. You get the warmth of a mitten, and freedom for your fingers.
