Review: CAMP Windmit’n

 I have been looking for something like these forever. A long ling time ago I bought something similar which was great but no longer made. Unfortunately they have been stolen by my wife. You don’t always want to carry a huge mountaineering mitt just to wear on the descents. Thin glove covers to keep your hands warm on cold days when a huge overmitt  would be too much, leading to cold sweaty hands.

Sometimes you are out on the trail and you need just a touch more warmth, usually on the descent or when you are making that final push above treeline. And the CAMP Windmit’n is made for this.

The fit in a small built in pocket, and weigh less than one ounce. I throw them in camelback riding or in my pack while out hiking.

Seriously these are great and I am glad someone is making them. Just a word of caution, these are lightweight so if you are going to be scrambling on rock or something else abrasive I would not wear them. Since that is not what they are designed for, don’t worry about it.

CAMP Says:
• Backcountry Skiing, Running, General Mountaineering
• Built-in stuff sack
• Pair packs down to the size of a tea bag

Ultralight windproof mittens—only a half ounce per pair— designed to fit over thin gloves for extra protection when temperatures drop and winds start ripping. Ideal for general mountaineering and competitive ski mountaineering. New graphics for 2011.
