What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore these on the coldest day of the season and my fingers stayed warm the entire lift ride up. The goatskin palm gripped my pole strap just as well as any glove I've used, without sacrificing any of that mitten warmth."Some days on the mountain don't leave room for compromise, and the Griffin Base Zero Mitten is built for exactly those days. LEKI combined goatskin, softshell, and neoprene on the exterior, pairing serious cold protection with a fit that doesn't feel stiff or oversized on the hand. Internal finger channels keep fingers positioned comfortably inside the mitten shell, while Hyperloft insulation and a Micro Bemberg lining hold heat through long lift lines and exposed ridgelines alike. A goatskin palm reinforced with a Nash silicone grip patch means holding a pole stays secure even without individual fingers, making this a straightforward, no frills choice for the days when warmth matters more than dexterity.
