Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Phosphor Mitts

These mittens are VERY WARM! I get very, very cold hands and these are the first mittens I've ever owned that keep my hands pleasantly warm while out in -25c. Plus, the mittens are surprisingly compact for how warm they are. These are perfect for anyone who typically has a hard time staying warm.

I purchased these gloves for winter bikiing, my hands get cold easily but I need some mobility so large mitts aren't the best option. The Phosphor Mitts keep my hands toasty while allowing enough dexterity to eat and drink on the move.

Totally amazing how warm these keep my hands!!! I have circulation issues with my hands from injuries. These are THE BEST!!! Went hiking in -15 the other day and with just bare hands under the mitts I was toasty warm. Great no frills, but everything you need . I have lots of gloves, but these are my "go to"" cold weather friends,

Great mitt. Excellent for belay or biking to about -20 C with a thin liner for me. Nice to be able to easily shove them down into a pocket. Relatively dexterous for a mitt, medium fit just right for use alone or with a liner under, similar to other OR gloves for me. Worth noting - either from a couple months use biking, skiing, and climbing (all involving a lot of gripping stuff) or how they came, there isn't a ton of insulation on the palms. This is generally good for having decent grip, but one thing that reduces how warm they are. Also, they aren't all that water resistant - throw on an overmitt if you're planning to get in the snow.

My hands are always cold but not with these gloves. Great for skiing, and they also worked well for ice climbing.

Great warm mitten - good for all around use !

I have cold hands and feet as soon as temps get below 20F. These mitts solved my cold hands! Still working on the cold feet...

I bought these mittens for my wife for our slack-country ski trips. When we start out in the mornings when it is below zero her hands are not warm and it takes forever for them to warm up. Enter the Phosphor Mitts. She puts them on in the car while in route to the trailhead. Jumps out and has warm hands right from the beginning. She loves them and they must work well because her old mitts which were not doing the job come out once we have been out for a while, as her hands are plenty warm. She puts them back on during our sit down breaks and repeats the process of wear, heat up, remove the entire time out. No complaints at all about cold hands since these arrived.

These are the first mittens I've ever owned that protect my hands from Reynaud's attacks in Boston winters... even without a liner inside. Easy to pull on and off with that nice loop on the end. Maybe they aren't stylish, but in 8 degrees, who cares?

Get these. Down filled. Warm in seconds. I've never truly invested in quality stuff. These mitts are definitely scrumtralescent. Full endorsement from me. I've had them in -24C so far. No issues. I'm sure -30 is well within range. Wind? Who cares. Get'm. Do it. No Regerts!

I have cold hands and so need mittens and these are the warmest of the perhaps dozen pairs I've tried. They are warmer than the LL Bean buckskin chopper mittens, which were my previous favorite.

Bought to keep toasty skiing and shoveling this northern MN winter. Super warm and well made with cozy fine gauge fleece lining, and soft material on the thumb area to wipe your snot away so you can stay sexy at all times. For reference , Size small fits my small/medium womanly hands perfectly. That being said I believe these mittens transcend gender . Small for small hands and large for large hands.

Used downhill skiing, by myself and my daughter. Super warm!

Very light and highly packable, these have replaced my formerly big & heavy back up mitts and lightened my load while climbing the skin track. They offer great warmth and even stayed dry for a few yoyo laps.

These gloves are light and warm! I suffer from Reynauds and these do the trick along with the use of the sensor gloves.

Thanks for all you do! I love gear that is functional and fashionable. OR has never let me down.

really happy to have XS size with some mitts...... I actually bought 2 pairs

Great product., to large, so I returned. Want a medium. It has Been (6)weeks and no credit. I want the medium.

Best mittens I've owned

So far I've worn these in weather down to 0 degrees F. Kept my fingers toasty warm! We'll see how they do when winter field work rolls around and it's -30, but I have a feeling I'll be fine.

Love how these mitts fit. My hands are fairly long and I ordered the small and it fit perfectly. Love how light weight they are and very warm/comfortable.

My son plays college baseball up North (OHIO) he use these mittens all the time but bought to keep hands warm during games while in dugout. They are perfect for heavy on and off use. Often hit the dugout floor and stay dry all day. These are very durable. They are very warm and keep hands dry. I would imagine there will be many more sold to this team. Thank you

I ordered these following a partial amputation on my left hand and it was because of these gloves that I was able to continue with outdoor activities like hunting and skiing. These gloves do an incredible job of maintaining hand warmth which allows for better retention of core temperatures. I don't know that I'll ever travel without a pair in the winter!

These gloves are quite the combo with the windstopper and down, to the point of being excessively warm except in the coldest of temps. Use them regularly ice climbing as belay mitts, and would recommend dropping a size if that is your standard use as they are a bit bigger then what you'd expect. Super toasty, great glove.
