Black Diamond Spark Mitts vs Dakine Titan Gore-Tex Mitt

Not at all waterproof. Warm, comfortable, NOT waterproof. Take incredibly long time to dry, even on a forced air, heated boot dryer. If you use these, you will need a pair of spare mitts to use while this pair dries

So not only is it a big warm mitten, it's got room in there to put these on even on the coldest days. So again, check this and all our other Dekain pr...

The outer leather provides wind protection, durability and is waterproof (like all leather products, leather treat the glove to maintain the functionality of the leather).

Very disappointing that the cut of the thumbs and the materials used makes them tight!

They were not too tight as to get cold and they were not too sloppy as to feel limited in mobility/ dexterity. On a cold day at the resort (15degrees F), my hands did get surprisingly cold for having mittens. But now i know the lower limit of the mitts and know not to wear them in cold weather. For fair weather, they are the perfect mitt though

I ordered an extra large which is what I usually take. Also seemed to be right by Dakine chart. But it was too small. I also found that the liner glove was not to my liking

One note- this is a snug fit and I have found that wearing even a modest sized watch hampers wrist dexterity unless you wear the watch outside/over your outer layer which Im guessing most are inclined to do anyway. The wrist length is fairly short and shell sleeves tend to pull off the wrist exposing them. I have found that wearing a base or mid layer with wrist overs solves this nicely. Even though this style of wrist constrains interior movement somewhat (and I sized these slightly snug), I am able to pull my fingers out of the internal finger slots to ball them up for warming if necessary

Man, I wish I didn’t lose my OR mitts. Now they are ridiculously expensive. Might check out the heated Savior Mittens after these are returned.
