Black Diamond Solano vs Burton AK Gore-Tex Clutch Mitts

To warm and comfortable hands and fingers. The First generation Solanos kind of reminded me of 60s era transistor radios..

The mitt seems like not completely bonded to the outer walls, but it seems like it's good enough to where it's stitched across the top here, here and ...

I am a ski instructor and have to be out all day. The days that had a low of about 5 to 8 degrees with a high in the teens and not much wind only required the medium to low setting and one set of batteries lasted all day. At those settings, my fingers didn't feel warm - which I don't want - the just didn't feel cold or felt slightly cold. All it takes is the temps to drop about 5 degrees and the winds to pick up for me to need two sets of batteries (which I have) to last all day

Ive been using them for weeks snowboarding and hands have always been 100% dry. 4 stars just because they could be a little warmer.

These are not good gloves, battery or not. I’ve endured about 60 days in these gloves and they are only reasonably warm north of 30 Fahrenheit, also the moisture buildup makes it colder and clammy. The quality and construction are low standard as well, the pretty yellow stichings on palm/thumb are popping at the seams already. Another worthless and expensive outdoor equipment

After one week of snowboard vacation with reasonable use the leather gloves were damaged. Not so durable.

The gloves are too tight to go over jackets and too bulky to go under. The cuff sort of sits uncomfortable neither in nor out. The on/off switch glows in the dark which looks odd.

Please do not read this 3 star review as these being mediocre/sub-par gloves. Easily a 5 star product if it fits you correctly.
