I got the altimeter mitts a few weeks ago. Awesome fit and the two glove system works well.
Very little out there is “way” better than other comparably priced items. These gloves are up there with the best Hestra, Black Diamond and outdoor research gloves out there. I would recommend these to...
Outdoor Research Revolution Gloves, Large, $30
Outdoor Research Down Mitts, Medium, SPF
Spyderco Native S110V blade steel, Factory 2nd, SPF
First Lite Llano Long Sleeve, Medium, SPF
First Lite Llano Short Sleeve, Medium, $40
First Lite Wick Hoody, Medium, small discoloration pictured, SPF
SG DeHavilland Lites for the early season and the regular DeHavillands for late season. You could select the M7s for late season if it’s really cold/wet.
Took the mitts out for a spin and they were awesome. Went snowshoeing and wore them the entire trip. Fit is spot on and the two glove system works seamlessly together. My bare hands got wet and snowy and I put the gloves back on. Pretty quickly, the moisture got pulled out and my hands felt...
The only glove out right now is the Altimeter Mitt and its an exclusive right now for Black Label customers. They estimate February for the full roll out of all the gloves
I should have the new mitts in hand Thursday or Friday of this week. I have never done the inner/outer glove system before and am looking forward to giving them a try. I am going head out snowshoeing this weekend to test them out
Stone Glacier De Havillands or the M7s. I wear the De Havillands from November to April here in Colorado. The M7s maybe a better choice if you are in really wet conditions
The two new jackets, Cirque Lite and Grumman Lite look awesome. I think I will pick up the Cirque Lite and use it as an outerlayer in the early season and mid layer in the later seasons.
As always, it all seemed well designed and thought out
The LPP is junk. Like other comments have said, loft will be gone after a few uses and it ways the same as a wet blanket. Grumman is warmer, more packable and will keep working
