Trekmates Mt. Baker II Gore-Tex Mitts

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Burly and beefy waterproof, windproof mitts utilise a Gore-Tex membrane and removable Primaloft insulation, this isn’t one glove it’s a layering system for your hands.   

Outdoor Research says: 

Our most premium wet-weather technical mitts have already cemented their legacy in alpine protection as the rst ever modular handwear system. Now, the Mt. Baker Mitts are redesigned with even better dexterity and t. This modular design creates a layering system for your hands, ensuring warmth, waterproofness, and improved dexterity and t for cold, damp climates at high altitudes.

Our Verdict

This is essentially two pairs of gloves in one. firstly, you have a durable weather proof outer mitt. This outer layer utilises a Gore-Tex membrane and hard wearing yet supple lather palm, internally this layer has a soft fleece lining, that adds warmth and comfort.

This outer layer can be worn on its own in cold conditions however when the temperature really drops, the incredibly warm Primaloft® insulation layer can be added to the layering system. This produces a level of warmth I’ve never needed here in the UK, these gloves are for seriously cold conditions.
