Review: Rab Nebula Endurance Mitt

Rab Nebula Endurance Mitts where have you been all my life? I have purchased more expensivegloves that promised to be warmer, but none can hold a candle to these.

They fit perfectly for me. And I really like that they have more insulation in the mitt then the cuff. That is a big pet peeve of mine. Some glove makers seem to insulate the hell out of the cuff and then the mitt part is not as insulated. Not sure the reason other than to get sweaty wrists.

They also have a soft fleece-like interior which heats up you hands quicker than smooth nylon.

The palm is textured which helps to provides grip to keep your ice axe or poles in place.

The cuff has a draw string closure to keep the snow out and warmth in. Easy one hand operation with the cord lock attachment.

And a favorite feature of mine; wrist loops! Sometimes you need to take your mitts off to grab something from your pack the last thing you want is to have your mitt blow away. The wrist loop addresses this problem.

Like I said i have purchased a ton of mittens trying to keep my hands warm. I am usually disappointed with numb cold hands. The design is great and the price is right at $100.
