Black Ovis Palisades Down Glassing Mittens

[Glendon Mullins]

I have the opportunity to review Black Ovis's newly released Palisades Down Glassing Mittens right here on the Rokslide forum!

You can check out and/or purchase the mittens here.... https://www.blackovis.com/blackovis-palisades-down-glassing-mitten

Black Ovis describes these mittens as "Extremely lightweight and exceptionally packable, the Palisades Glassing Mitten is a must-have for colder weather hunts. These mittens offer incredible warmth without any unnecessary bulk, making them perfect for those long glassing sessions or chilly mornings around camp. "

The mittens have a nylon shell and are insulated with real 80% duck down and lined with Tricot polyester according to the black ovis website, They are suppose to be wind resistant and they fold open for finger access.

I will be using these mittens on an eastern montana mule deer hunt, where we will be spending plenty of time behind glass in some cold weather I am sure based on my previous experience out there. The interesting thing about this hunt is I will have my kids (age 13 and 10) with me as well as my wife and I plan on them using the mittens as well, so you wont be getting only my opinion, but theirs also!! and I will go ahead and say, if these mittens keep my wifes hands warm, that will be a first! So will these be up to the task? Guess we will find out!

Would you say they fit true to size?

Would you say they fit true to size?

Yes, they only offer two sizes specifically, Medium/Large and Large/Xlarge, i received a L/XL and they fit me fine, probably room for a glove liner to wear under them as well, they are mittens so they are spacious. Unless you have very large hands I think the L/XL would fit 90% of roklsiders

I have been on a quest to find warm gloves/mitts for the last couple of years. I’m like your wife ,most aren’t warm enough. The second problem is most are to small. I always opt for the XXL as XL are most often to tight. I have the OR Coldfront in XL but are to small for me. I’m really interested to see your review!
