Montane Respond Dry Line Mitts

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Warm, waterproof, and comfortable, the Montane Respond Dry Line Mitts are an excellent choice for those who need a reliable glove in variable conditions.

Montane says: 

The Respond Dry Line series feature PrimaLoft® GOLD Insulation, a PERTEX® outer, brushed microfleece lining but with the added benefit of FREEFLOW Mantle inner waterproof lining. Warm, lightweight, extremely packable and waterproof, these mitts are ideal for moving fast and light in cold, wet conditions

Our Verdict

The Montane Respond Dry Line Mitts are a lightweight, packable choice for cold and damp conditions but can also adapt to harsher environments. Featuring PrimaLoft Gold insulation and a PERTEX outer shell, these mitts provide warmth without unnecessary bulk, while the FREEFLOW Mantle waterproof liner effectively keeps moisture at bay. The pre-curved palm design offers a natural hand position, reducing fatigue over longer wear—ideal for extended hikes or winter hillwalking.

Consider pairing these mitts with a liner glove and an outer shell layer for more extreme weather to boost warmth and protection in icy or wet conditions. The mitts also offer touchscreen compatibility, a convenient feature for checking devices on the go. The gauntlet cuff and elasticated wrist provide a snug fit to keep out wind and snow, while the included stuff sack makes for easy storage.
