The Black Diamond Patrol Mitts provide the durability for demanding days in the mountains and the insulation to fight off sub-zero temps. Ultra-durable Pittards goatskin shells give you bomber grip whether you plant a ski pole or swing an ice tool. Black Diamond concentrated the PrimaLoft insulation on the back of the hand to reduce bulk and increase feel in the palms and bolster overall warmth. Waterproof breathable BDry inserts ensure your hands are dry all day.
Bottom Line: For sub-zero temps when you need added feel and durability.
I like the mitts for their warmth to weight factor meaning that they are pretty warm for being fairly light weight. They fit well and are well designed for the most part. The only thing I don't like about them is that the cuff is short for those snowy in area or backcountry days so they ship snow between your wrist and your coat sleeve under those conditions.

Keeps your fingers warm on the coldest days. 02-24-07
These mitts are killer. If you get cold fingers like I do they're a must have. Plus with they're full leather palm they'll out last cheaper synthetic gloves.
Buy nice, or buy twice.
