Comments about Outdoor Research Alti Mitts for Men:

went out this weekend to test drive these badboys. started out without the liners to see how long I could take it before putting liners back in.went up above 10,000 ft , it was between 15 and 20 degrees. got close to the top before I had to put liners in. I was hiking w/poles so that's another reason I did it without liners. their to bulky it's hard to get a good grip on my poles. but boy were they warm! highly recommend these gloves!

Comments about Outdoor Research Alti Mitts for Men:

I got these b/c my Burton gloves had worn out and while they were good, I needed to use hand warmers with them on colder days (upstate NY skiing). So far I have only used on dry days, and in temps 5-20 degrees F and plenty of wind. They are definitely warmer than the Burtons; with no hand warmers and w/o the liner mitts, these keep my hands warm. If I remove my hands from the gloves (required for any dexterity at all), my hands warm pretty quickly when re-inserted.
I imagine with the liners, I would never need any other heat assistance. They do run a tad big; I usually wear large in gloves, and I feel like I could have done Medium in these, but can't say for sure.
Overall, VERY pleased. They are windproof, and I will assume waterproof. Hopefully the inside fingers/palms will hold up to the inevitable abuse from snowboarding...particularly the uphill hand (my right), which often scraps along the snow during hard right hand turns.

I purchased the Alti mitts because about 8 pair of skiing gloves I previously purchased did not keep my fingers warm on very cold days: and this includes a pair of heated gloves. These mittens indeed do keep my fingers warm in very cold weather. They are somewhat too bulky for skiing, but that is a trade-off I am willing to make to have warm fingers. I also like the fact that the cuffs are long enough to never expose my wrists to the elements.

Used hiking White Mountains in NH. Outer mitts over glove liners makes a nice combination for hiking. I take hands out of mitts to take photos or adjust equipment but they warm back up when I put the outer mitts back on. I have used both inner and outer mitts over glove liners in extreme cold/wind but almost too much.

Also nice to have waterproof/Goretex outer mitt for when you are in mixed conditions.
