These mitts are fantastic - so comfortable and warm. They are very well made and the fit is perfect. Remember to go a size down from your normal glove size.

!st hand covering Ive had in 80yrs that actuually does what it says. My hands have never been so warm in the cold weather. Bit pricey but worth every penny.

My wifes hands have never been warmer. Purchased these on a recommendation before a winter trip to Greenland, and these kept her hands toasty in -50 on the Greenlandic ice sheet - a solid recommendation for warm hands, and stylish hands as well!

Good quality warm mitts. They are large so be careful buying. The xxs equates to a British size 7 (not indicated on any size guide)

These are simply the best winter gloves around, in my opinion. I wore the last pair for 30 years and didnt hesitate to get another pair when they went walkabout Great service from The Climbers Shop. Highly recommended.

Always the best, I hope they never end

I read the guidance on them being large in the size but clearly didnt infer just how large. Theyre unmanageably huge; Ive given them away. Would recommend including equivalent sizing in the guidance.

Really warm mittens. Thick and cosy. No more white finger tips!

Great mittens at a fair price. I purchased the small and I wear a medium in other brands and they fit fine.

These are the mitts that beat all others. Will last a lifetime but sadly the moths got at my old ones. Had had them for getting on fifty years.

Dachstein Mitts review by Liam Mackinnon, on 13/12/2021

5

These are the warmest hand wear for winter hill walking and beat modern synthetic offerings hands down, no pun intended. They last for years. Just be aware that they are very generous in sizing and this recent pair were a present that had to be bought two sizes down from normal. A pair of liner gloves adds versatility for when you need to adjust kit and have to take the mitten off.

Great, really warm, stay warm when wet and also stick to the rock when its cold enough so you can climb easy things in them! Good alternative to my Buffalo mitts. And they look old-skool ;-)

Old school but excellent! My dad told me about these and he used to have a pair back in the day. He loved them and said they were excellent. I got him a pair a couple of year ago and decided to get myself them too. If you struggle with cold hand on winter climbs - these are what you need! Better than Goretex!

I got the small size even though my hands are quite large, fit perfectly and keep the wind and rain away. Highly recommend the mittens.

Dachstein Mitts review by Don, on 22/12/2019

These are the best for cold and snow. Warm, cosy, tough. Just not the best thing to try and use your iPhone while wearing. But who cares about that!

Dachstein Mitts review by Elaine, on 01/12/2019

5

These were always the best and never fail. I wear them over thin gloves so always order a bigger size. I hope they never disappear

Just right, and nice customer service.

The mitts are warm and flexible enough I can easily use the controller on my motorised wheelchair. My hands are large for a woman so I ordered a size M. Too small. The L is perfect, if a tad long. Overall, Im delighted with them.

Fantastic mitts; the blurb says it all. No other mitts match or exceed these for their combination of function, price and aesthetic value.

Fantastic product. The blurb says it all. Can't beat the combination of function and price. Absolute favourite pair of mitts.

Dachstein Mitts review by james, on 16/03/2018

super warm. I ordered a small, and as a 6 foot guy, theyre perfect. had snowball fights in them and didnt get cold or wet hands.

Dachstein Mitts review by Adele, on 21/02/2018

When I first heard of these thought they looked a bit old school, however sometimes old school is the best! Really happy with them and a great price.

I have been using Dachsteins for over 40 years and they are still the best mitt for the winter!

Dachstein Mitts review by Angela, on 21/12/2017

I bought these to replace a well loved pair bought in Austria many years ago. For someone who suffers with cold hands, they are ideal in cold and damp weather and if using walking poles. If very cold, I wear thin merino gloves underneath. Roasty, toasty hands.

wore them up ben macdui in 60 mile an hour winds and my hand were toastie they are the best gloves ive had if you buy them you wont regret it

Great classic dependable Mitt.

Dachstein Mitts review by Andy, on 26/01/2017

These are to be used on the Everest Base Camp trek soon. I did have a pair about thirty years ago, and I seem to remember even when wet they kept your hands warm, and are good in snow.

I always suffer from cold fingers and generally putting gloves on makes my fingers feel colder. Then theres these!! Wow, they keep my hands hot, not just warm. Im using them with extremities gortex shell mitts. Seems to me to be the perfect combination. Id been considering some of the seriously expensive mitts on the market so when I got these for well under £30 I was suitably impressed. Very happy with my purchase and the service was swift and seamless. What more could you ask for!

Top quality, well made and a quick service

Took these out for their first outing in Snowdon. At -2C and 50mph winds, giving a wind chill of -17C, they were fairly warm. I wore no liner and the tips of my fingers were only slightly chilly. To make these the best combination i was recommended to get some thin liners and a waterproof shell. One great point is the surprising dexterity. While scrambling it was easy to cling onto rocks, and haul myself up. However opening and closing zips was a challenge.

Dachstein Mitts review by David, on 03/02/2016

Top notch. NB My hand is normally on the large side of medium but for Dachsteins I have plenty of room in the small size.

Snug, snug , snug these are brilliant !!!!

Dachstein Mitts review by Mike, on 21/12/2015

Not modern and hi-tec but still one of the best winter mitts available. Warm and virtually windproof - completely so when covered in frozen snow - they also provide excellent grip on snowy/icy rock. Now on my fifth pair.

Dachstein Mitts review by Jon, on 14/04/2015

Arrived promptly, well made and heavy duty. Just need some cold weather to try them out before I can pass a proper verdict.

Dachstein Mitts review by M Halloway, on 19/02/2015

5

I havent experienced the conditions to properly assess the performance of these, and may not now until next winter, but on the face of things quite happy with my purchase. I initially bought large (normally go x large) and ended up dropping down to a medium . My advice would be that unless someone need mitts immediately to hold back until one can try a pair on as their fit is quite different.

Dachstein Mitts review by Peter , on 12/01/2015

Not put them through their paces as yet, though the quality can be seen from the start, would recommend trying them on size wise in store if possible ? , i bought size small and they are a nice fit, if you are not sure buy size below they are in my mind a size bigger than the chart table.

Dachstein Mitts review by Julian, on 22/12/2014

Excellent product. Beware the sizing when ordering though. These come up tight around the wrist and length of fingers suffers as a result of sizing up

Dachstein Mitts review by Sam, on 17/12/2014

5

Superbly warm, even when a little damp. I almost look forward to the cold days so I can wear them! If they were good enough for Chris Bonnington on the South Face of Annapurna, then theyre more excellent for my use (hill and low mountain walking/scrambling). Sizing can be a problem though.

Dachstein Mitts review by john, on 26/03/2013

Not only do they live up to all the claims made, mine are now over 30 years old and still performing as promised!

Dachstein Mitts review by John, on 03/05/2011

5

I use them for cycling as well as walking as they are the only gloves that keep my hands warm when wet.

Dachstein Mitts review by Elaina, on 13/02/2011

5

As someone who suffers badly from cold fingers these are my miracle cure for winter. Using them with a pair of thin gloves keeps my fingers toasty in wet & windy conditions

Dachstein Mitts review by james, on 05/11/2010

5

the best gloves ive ever had. in freezing temperatures they are warm and dry without inners. they allow your skin to breath, hand have the just out of bed dry warmth!

Dachstein Mitts review by Rebecca Sowden, on 17/02/2010

These cant be beaten when worn over a thinner, waterproof and windproof pair of gloves. Then the layer of ice really does form on them and work...old ideas are still the best.

Dachstein Mitts review by Iain Pearson, on 11/02/2010

These are not the most fashionable mitts but for functionality, they are brilliant. Ive recently come back from a mountaineering weekend in Scotland and used these mitts on a couple of occasions when the weather took a turn for the worse. They were great whilst climbing as ice/snow would form on the gloves and help keep them insulated. I used them with a thin pair of liner golves and they worked perfectly. These are great back up gloves for when the temperature drops and cannot be faulted for great value.

I suffer from a mild form of Raynauds syndrome and if my fingers get cold they become very painful and take ages to rewarm. On a skiing holiday last week I wore the mitts ,with thin undergloves, on a day that was cold with snow falling.Even though the mitts had snow on them they kept my hands warm and painfree. Good value for money.
