Black Diamond Spark Mitts vs Hestra Gauntlet CZone Jr. 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

I really wanted warm ski mittens. I purchased 3 child size sets for my kids and 2 leather adult sets. One set for my daughter the thumb seams are coming apart and the grip plastic part is shredded on the palm of the both mittens. For the price I thought I would be able to get a few years out of these

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

They fit her great, look nice, and have the wrist tether, all positives. But she is still complaining her hands are cold, no matter the weather. Try Scott, they're much warmer, I speak from experience!
