Outdoor Research Flurry Mitts for Women

2024-12-24T19:00:00

Love the fabric and style, but too small. There are seams inside that feel rough on the fingertips. I have large hands so wish there was an extra large, may have to go over to the men' side

I lost my original pair of these mittens - perfect for general cold weather activities like walking the dog, out for an evening, etc. Sooo glad Outdoor Research is still making them and I was able to get a quick replacement pair!

I love this mitten and have it in a size Large, which is far too big for me though (too wide). Sadly the medium is ridiculously small in comparison (too narrow and thumb/web area not long enough) and had to be returned. It's great for running in below freezing temps, when there is also wind. Wish they would re-work the sizing because it should also be unisex, and not just women's (or offer a men's sizing version).

I absolutely love these gloves and mittens (have both)-- I thought I had lost the mittens so checked to make sure OR still offered them. Thankfully still here!! They are great when you only need lightweight warmth to take the edge off. Plus hand warmers fit perfectly in the mittens. Please don't stop offering them.

Bought these to replace a pair I lost. Use them alone or as a liner.

In the winter of 2022 I set out on an expedition in far Northern Quebec, starting in March and ending in April. I would travel with 14 others, and we would have one resupply. I had been preparing for almost a full year, which included a LOT of research on the best clothing to bring. But as with most trips, the final gear sort was very rushed. I mistook my girlfriend's flurry mitts for my own mittens, and packed them in my bag. By the time I realized my mistake I was sitting in a cozy Gaspe hostel, too far in to buy new mittens. So I dealt, and made it through with all my 10 fingers perfectly happy. I layered up with a pair of ski gloves and waterproof overmitts, but most of the insulation I got was from these mittens. Luckily temperatures were fairly balmy, rarely dropping below -20 degrees and my overmitts kept my hands well protected from the wind. I fell in the snow plenty, wore through my ski gloves, nearly lost a mitten behind my backpack, but I could always rely on these flurry mitts to keep my hands warm. I don't think I would've kept all my fingers without them. They were comfy, dried quickly, fit well enough (though I had no choice in the size), and were easily recognizable - being the lightest mittens in the tent. Even though I never intended to bring my girlfriend's flurry mitts on a subarctic expedition, I am so glad that I did.

I purchase a new pair of these mitts yearly. Not because of quality issues, but because the quality, fit and feel are so great I can't get enough of them. I keep a pair at work, in the car, in the house and in my ski bag. I wish there was a broader colour choice.

I love these mittens so much that I have a personal stockpile of them in case they ever stop selling them.

these are my new go to mittens for casual outdoor adventures! Great for frosty dog walks, cool weather hiking, shoveling the driveway, building a snowman...

Excellent layer under waterproof shell. Surprisingly warm for the weight

They are good and comfortable but they are not really warm. Expensive for the warmth.

Loved these mittens until the pull on cord broke after two seasons - not sure if this is an anomaly.

I have worn these mittens for years and I absolutely love them. I am on this site because I wanted to buy a pair for a friend but you only have them in one color now which is a little sad. I will probably buy them anyway. They're thin enough, and the grips are good, so you can do a lot in them. And they're really warm. Occasionally I switch them out for sheepskin mittens, but only on the very coldest days.

I love love love these mittens. First, I am a dude who much prefers mittens rather than gloves; I have 'normal' size hands and the large fits perfectly. I live in mid state New York and these are perfect for pretty much any temperature so long as you don't mind your hands getting wet (depending on what you're doing) and it's not too windy. Lack of waterproofing and windproofing I've listed as cons, but these mittens never intended to be either. Personally, I've never really had a problem with these getting wet; they still keep my hands super warm even if they're wet and they dry out really fast (definitely overnight, if not faster). I've never really noticed the wind issue except at the top of a mountain in a snowstorm; you may feel a little breeze but your hand will still be extremely warm. My primary use for these is everyday driving, going to work, travel, brushing snow off the car. I love that these can be easily packed into anything (including jacket pockets) without taking up any noticeable amount of space. I use these hiking at 40 F to snowshoeing in the Adirondacks at -10 F (by choice) and don't get cold at all; a key point with this is that hiking and snowshoeing get your blood flowing. Regarding grip, these are by no means meant for rock climbing, but for hiking and everyday use they are totally great; the little rubber grip on the palm is completely functional but not hindering to moving your hand. My only gripe is that there is no touch screen pad. Regarding durability, I use these all the time and have had them for 2 years without any issue. I throw them in the wash and then just air dry them. Don't think about it any more. Just get the mittens.

Excellent liners or standalone mitts for warmer weather. They got quite wet in mildish weather (around 0*C) and my hands remained warm even though they were damp. Would purchase again.

These are the best fitting pair of mittens I own. They are a good thickness and very versatile.

I really like these mitts and I wear them for many different activities. They are light and breath well. The only thing I don't understand is why the thumbs are so long?

I like the fit, the feel, the color, and the loops (i used it to hang them when wet)

Perfect everyday mittens for the car etc but not for the snow as it does stick to them. Also would make a great liner. True to size M. Haven't pilled at all and I like the rubber grip on the palm & fingers for the steering wheel, holding your coffee cup and overall dexterity.

Wear these every night walking my dogs. They've kept my hands warm into the 20s. The grips on the palm side are great for holding my travel mug too while commuting.

Warm and comfortable. They run big though so I'll use them for super cold days with a pair of gloves underneath.

I'm on my 5th pair please never stop making these! I have Raynauds Syndrome these gloves have been a life saver - well finger saver! I wear them daily through the colder months so they maybe only last me a season but worth every penny. Warm light and give good grip for driving. Devastated I lost one the last pair! Loving the new colour.

Cozy and warm woolen mittens. I use them to drive, walk, run in the winter. I love them. It would be great if they were touch-screen-friendly.

Nice - more of a liner but can be used as is as well. Great quality.

Bought these to use with touch gloves. The touch gloves fit inside these perfectly, and still aren't bulky and tight. Will definitely buy these again to use while snowmobiling in the UP.
