In preparation for next winter, I bought these Outdoor Research Highcamp mitts to replace my North Face Nuptse mitts. Haven’t had a chance to test them much, but from what I can tell, they should be a great mitt.
Cost: Around CDN $80
From the Outdoor Research website:
Super warm waterproof protection for cold, variable conditions.
With incredible versatility for extended backcountry adventures, these modular mitts are the warmest in the HighCamp™ family. Removable liners provide warmth and waterproof protection in variable conditions. A waterproof/breathable Ventia Dry™ nylon shell keeps hands dry on the ice, and a wrap-around water-resistant leather palm ensures a confident grip on even the wettest routes. The included 100-weight fleece insulated liner gloves, combined with integrated heat packet pockets and the natural warmth of the mitt design, provide warmth in freezing winter conditions.
