The North Face Nuptse Mitt
About This Product
5 ReviewsThe North Face Nuptse Mitt
Great stuff for extreme cold, The North Face Nuptse Mitt is packed with warm, 600-fill down insulation for some of the best warmth-to-weight ratios you'll find for mountaineering mitts. While the design is articulated, there's only so much dexterity mitts can offer, so if you're looking at mitts instead of gloves, we're assuming that your priority is finger warmth--which the Nuptse delivers on all counts. The exterior waterproof and breathable HyVent shell has water-resistant goatskin leather along the palm and key abrasion areas to help keep you covered even after several seasons of gripping unyielding shards of ice and rock.
- Waterproof and breathable HyVent™ exterior shell fabric reinforced with water-resistant goatskin leather along the palms and abrasion areas
- High-loft 600-fill down insulation
- Soft brushed tricot lining with downproof nylon taffeta fabric

very nice mittens
been a ski bum for 30 years now, and I can honestly say these are the nicest ski/ snowboard gloves I have ever owned. perfectly suited for anything other than full blown mountaineering. the leather is more durable than other similiar priced mitts. they fit under the jacket sleeve as well as over..nice feature!

Excellent mitt for cold conditions
If you suffer from cold hands like my wife then this is the perfect mitt for you. It's super warm and is an excellent fit. The leather palms are great for holding up to long term wear.

Cold_Hands_Nevermore
Perfect companion mitt for TNF Nuptse jacket (you won't notice the 700- vs. 600-down fill disparity at all). Superb warmth/insulation/wind resistance. I use it for daily commuting in the Mid-Atlantic (perhaps a little overkill) and never (and I'm sensitive to the cold) have my hands been even moderately cold. I'd never valued warm mitts until I got these--they'll regulate your entire body temperature and your hands will be sweating after a few blocks. A little pricey, but well worth the investment. Minor criticism: because of their relative bulk, it's hard to grip or carry items...but it's to be expected; they are mitts afterall. Runs true to size.

Excellent Value
Light as a feather, warm as toast, true to fit, typical North Face quality. Although down filled not overly bulky like the mitts of old. Particulary appreciate the shape of the mitt, it conforms to the shape of the hand reducing useless bulk around the pinky fingers.
