Mittens

There are many types of mittens: thin, fully waterproof shell mittens work well with liner gloves, while insulated mittens are warm enough on their own. Traditional wool mittens, also known as tumput or vanttuut, are always reliable. So-called “lobster” gloves are a hybrid between mittens and gloves, typically with three compartments: the index and middle fingers share one, the ring finger and pinky share another, while the thumb is separate.

Hestra is a Swedish glove brand known for its high-quality mittens, popular for everyday use, skiing, and workwear, with excellent craftsmanship and stylish designs as a bonus. Black Diamond makes mittens and gloves suitable for freeriding and other high-energy sports. The North Face gloves are always a great fit, and Ziener offers an excellent price-quality ratio. Rab, a specialist in performance apparel, also excels in gloves. Sealskinz gloves, on the other hand, are fully waterproof.
