RadiantX Mitten

Worked great for skiing

Wore these out on the last few runs of the year. Wasn't too cold out, low 40s but I can already tell these would hold up in much colder conditions. Fit was great and enjoyed skiing all day in them without any problems. Definitely recommend. As far as sizing goes I'm usually between a 7 and an 8 in most gloves and the Medium fit nicely.

Love these mittens!

Great mittens! Warm and not bulky. Great for taking on trips, skiing, etc. Happy with this purchase and would buy again.

Not warm enough for me

I like the look and feel of these mittens. They aren't stiff and I can move my fingers while wearing them. They are long enough to fit over my coat sleeves for added wind protection. However, I have Raynaud's Syndrome and these gloves aren't warm enough for me. My fingers get cold if it's less than about 35 degrees and/or the wind is fierce. Unfortunately that describes a lot of Michigan winter days. So I am still on the hunt for warmer mittens. I will be keeping these because they do work well on "warmer" days.

I Should Have Switched to Mittens Sooner

These mitts have made my ski days more pleasant. My hands stay warmer than they did in gloves, and once you get used to the "different" feel vs gloves, they're more comfortable. These mitts have everything I was looking for; leashes/tethers (who wants to drop things from the lift?), over-the-jacket fit, materials I feel comfortable putting in the washing machine, and they come in black. The double cinch straps seem like over-engineering, but they work fine, and really that's just nit-picking.

Warm midweight mitts

21/22 had a freezing start to the winter. Despite it I wanted to get out and xc ski. My issue was gloves froze my fingers, my big mitts didn't fit in my xc ski pole straps, and my next size down mitts weren't enough for the bitter cold. It was time to level up my game. These mitts keep my fingers toasty and are an excellent size to fit my xc ski pole straps. I ended up taking them on a bc ski trip in wet BC and found they were a nice light weight option for the downhills that stayed water resistant. Love my mitts!

Not a women's mitten

Familiarity:

I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share

These mittens are marketed as "universal" for gender so when you search and filter for women's mittens, these appear. I bought a Large for my wife, and they are a men's size large. Wayyy to big for her. If you are a female trying to buy mittens, go down a size on these.

Not as advertised

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

These mittens are not windproof and do not keep your hands warm even while adding liners. Would not recommend.

Best purchase yet!

These mitts are the perfect combo of warmth and dexterity. They are much thinner than my others but still keep my fingers super warm. I have a pair of liners just in case. I even wore them before and after SUP surf camp this weekend!
