"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""The Excursion Mitt is my go-to for storm days. It’s warm without being bulky, and the Gore-Tex Active insert keeps my hands dry even when I’m digging out gear or skinning in wet snow. The wool liner adds serious comfort, and I’ve never had issues with breathability."" Built for big days in deep snow, the DAKINE Excursion Mitten blends premium warmth with breathable, all-conditions protection. Whether we’re navigating lift lines or skinning into the backcountry, this mitt keeps our hands dry and warm without sacrificing dexterity. The softshell exterior flexes naturally, while the durable goat leather palm gives us confident grip on poles, zippers, and gear. Inside, Primaloft® Gold insulation pairs with a 360g wool blend lining to trap heat and manage moisture, even in the coldest conditions. The full GORE-TEX insert with Gore Active tech maximizes breathability while sealing out snow and wind. Finished with a one-hand cinch gauntlet for easy sealing and adjustment, the Excursion Mitten is built for riders who don’t back down when the storm rolls in."
