10 Reviews: Best Mittens for Cold Weather (Jan 2023)

Burton’s Gore-Tex Warmest Mittens are ideal for skiers and will keep your hands toasty even in the harshest of storms. Even when wet, the Gore-Tex exterior keeps moisture out, and the synthetic insulation keeps you warm. These mittens include a leather palm for enhanced grip and are touchscreen compatible.

The Powder Search mittens from Eddie Bauer not only feature a touchscreen-friendly design, but they also offer a little zipped compartment on each hand for storing small items. That may not seem like much assistance until you need to locate a place to put your home key while taking your regular winter walk around the block. For added warmth, you can even put an additional heating pad in there. ThermaFill insulation and a soft-brushed lining are included in these mittens, which also have cuffs that keep snow and other moisture out.

These mittens are warm and comfortable. We go on long walks in 20 degree weather and these mittens keep our hands nice and warm. I wished that they came in men's sizes so my husband could get them.

The Knit Flip mitten from UGG is a two-in-one design that can be worn as a mitten or a glove. This is an excellent alternative if you find yourself fluctuating between being too hot and too cold since you can easily transition between the two modes. These mittens are constructed of nylon, wool, and acrylic, and they include a magnetic flip clasp to keep any wool from blowing about in the wind. There’s also a leather patch on the mitten’s palm, which improves your grip. These unisex mittens have a basic design that can go with any outdoor outfit and won’t seem out of place with a pair of jeans and a plaid shirt.

They're Super Cozy, must have for any cold climate. Highly recommend.

Hestra’s unisex leather mittens are stunning, not just because of their buttery leather construction, but also because of the insulating punch they offer. Your fingers won’t get chilly due to the detachable lining and PrimaLoft Gold insulation. A handcuff is included in this design to help attach the mitten to your hand. A paracord around the wrist allows the user to customize the fit to their preference. These mittens are also available in six different sizes, ensuring that they will fit any hand.

I have Raynaud’s which makes it very difficult for me to find gloves that work for my freaky blue fingers. These are like little heaters. I use these in some super crazy blizzard conditions in Maine and they are so worth the price. It’s been a year and they are holding up through a lot of use. Hestra know’s what they’re doing!

You will like the Patagonia Nano Puff Mitts for both casual and performance winter trips since they were warm enough to wear without liners. You can wear it for hiking, bicycling, strolling, skiing, winter jogging, and more. The mittens include 100 g of insulation, a brushed tricot inner, and a DWR coating on the outer to keep out the rain. Patagonia has started switching these mittens from PrimaLoft Gold Insulation Eco polyester to PrimaLoft’s P.U.R.E. insulation, which is made entirely of recycled polyester.

Yooo these are epic. Fluffy, toasty lil pillows for my hands! I suffer from raynauds and so far, they seem to do the trick as far as keeping it at bay during my winter walks. Much love, Patagonia.

These mittens are designed for mountaineering and high-elevation activity, and they keep you warm even in the coldest weather. The leather palm offers excellent grip, and the three-panel thumb structure improves dexterity while grabbing items. What’s more, it has a longer cuff of its overall robust construction, which keeps snow out.

Bought these for a trek up Kilimanjaro, knowing I'd likely only need them for summit day. They did the trick, kept my hands warm while others were struggling with frozen fingers. Well worth the investment!

Heated gloves or mittens can cost up to $300, but these aren’t one of them. The Volt 7-Volt Battery-Heated Mittens include a nylon shell, leather palm, and waterproof breathable membrane, much like many of the other gloves on our list. The Volt mitts’ heating element consists of ultra-thin stainless steel heating wires bonded into the fabric, which heat the back and palm of your hand.

They DO the job, fit great, awesome heat. Skiing and winter mountain biking.

A split mitt, sometimes known as gloves, mittens, or lobster paws, provides riders with more dexterity. Although the idea isn’t new, GORE’s in-house brand, GORE Wear, offers a lobster mitt that you’ll like. It also provides exceptional wind protection, enough warmth, robust durability, and adequate water resistance to resist snowmelt (after you’re inside) or light freezing rain since it’s made by GORE.

Well, these mitts showed their superior quality. They feature the same heavy-duty leather construction as the gloves, which means they can withstand turns on the slopes or snatching a log from the campfire. They are also waterproof. Five layers of insulation, as well as a waterproof inner, keep the hands warm below.

Got these for my girlfriend for ice fishing in Northern Minnesota we can stay on the ice much longer hands stay warm much longer

Mount Everest climbers and South Pole scientists will appreciate the warmth of the Marmot Expedition Mittens, which are designed just for them. Your hands will remain warm and comfortable in temperatures as low as -30 degrees Fahrenheit due to these puffy, PrimaLoft-filled, waterproof mittens.
