What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore these on a wet, cold alpine climb where every tool placement mattered, and the Alpengrip palm held on even when everything else was slick. The removable liner let me dry things out overnight without swapping mitts entirely."Alpine routes have a way of turning cold and wet at the exact moment your grip matters most. The Mt. Baker II GORE-TEX Mitten has spent years earning its place as a staple for exactly that scenario. Wear it on a high altitude climb through damp, freezing conditions, and the anatomically placed panels keep your grip secure on ice tools without sacrificing the dexterity you need to place them well. The waterproof GORE-TEX shell and seam taped construction keep hands dry through sustained exposure, while the removable Primaloft insulated liner lets you dial in warmth as conditions shift through the day. A ladder lock wrist cinch and cinchable gauntlet seal out snow, and a glove clip with carabiner loop keeps the mitts close at hand whenever you need to free up your fingers on route.
