What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I tested the RealFleece High Pile Mittens on a windy alpine start, and they kept my hands warm without overheating. The brushed merino lining feels amazing next to skin, and the double cuff keeps cold air sealed out. I’m bringing these on every winter trip now."On frigid days when we need reliable warmth without the bulk, the RealFleece High Pile Mittens are our go-to. Designed by Icebreaker with high-loft brushed merino wool, these mittens deliver impressive heat retention while staying breathable, soft, and comfortable against the skin. The wool jersey lining and extended double-layer cuffs trap warmth while keeping cold drafts out, making them perfect for high-altitude treks, early morning dog walks, or après moments in the mountains. A wool-cotton canvas palm adds durability and structure without sacrificing comfort, and side gussets give the mittens a natural curve that mirrors the hand's resting position.
