Trying to get more information on the blizzard mitt from Sitka. Is the liner a mitt or fingered? Any idea on the warmth and quality. Thanks in advance.

It's just a mitten, no finger slots etc .. inside. Good quality and warm. Bulky and awkward as you would expect of a heavy GTX mitten. IMHO, night and day warmer than the Sitka Incinerator Glove/Flip Mitt!

They're moderately warm. Not sure how cold of temperatures you would be looking to use them in, but I've found they're good to about -20 C. From about -12 to -20 my hands will get cold unless I'm active. I also wasn't a fan of how difficult they are to slide on if your hands are at all wet (say from cleaning up after field dressing an animal or while ice fishing).

I use them as glassing mitts in rough conditions....I bring them extra...so I run a light glove liner and then put these over the top...it sicks not having any dexterity but they are warm

What he said. I use them for glassing and quad rids. If it is really cold I run the traverse or mountain gloves under them and I have been nothing but warm in the single digits. Colder than that I add hand warmers between the outer and inner mitt and have had zero issues. They are a bit bulky but defiantly work for their intended use. I would recommend them.
