Customer Reviews Smartwool Active Fleece Wind Mitten

I don't understand any of the reviews that complain about these mittens being too cold. I've done many 10+ mile runs in freezing weather in them, including one in zero degree weather. They keep my hands very warm, and the mitten being a convertible flap is great to pull back and tuck away when they start becoming TOO warm. A plus side to the mitten flap is that you can tuck a Hot Hands into them for weather below 15 degrees for extra warmth, or you can tuck your thumb into the flap to warm that up because mitten thumbs are lonely creatures who always seem to get chilly. I not only HAVE recommended these mittens to friends, I've been on the look out for a good price on an additional pair. They're 100% worth the full price, but I'm unfortunately broke.

I use these for my daily bike commute when it's below 50F, for cold weather runs, and for downhill skiing on warm-ish days (above about 25F). (I could imagine them being perfect for cross-country skiing too, but I prioritized downhill this year.). They hit the sweet spot for temperature for me, keeping my hands warm without overheating and getting sweaty. They are comfortable, super flexible, and the windshield mitten is really handy (pun intended) for quick temperature regulation, and it's nice you can opt to keep your index finger out of the mitten in order to use the touch screen sensitive finger tip. I wish they were more durable, they pilled up and are getting ragged after just one season of use.

The name is deceiving. These are GLOVES with a windproof mitten overlay that can be tucked away in the back of the glove. The thumb and forefinger are NOT touchscreen compatible. I've tried mine on androids and iPhones and they don't work on either phone. The elastic band that is around the cuff is too tight. It's extremely difficult to put the gloves on over the base of the thumb. I had to pull so hard the elastic band eventually tore away from the glove (see photo). Once the gloves are on they are comfortable and warm and the mitten overlay is convenient to have when it's windy or cooler temperatures. These gloves worked for me down to about 32F.

These gloves are great! They fit as expected. They are comfortable. they are advertised correctly. They look nice! Granted, they are not super cold weather gloves, but for those days in the 30's or 40's they really do a great job of keeping your hands warm. They're good for going on walks, jogs, or hikes.

I LOVE these mittens! I love the slight stretch that the mitten cover has when you're pulling them over the gloves. I love that the mitten cover can easily be pushed back when not in use. I can use my phone with ease if needed, the gloves with so good with touchscreens. I am OBESSED! I've only had them for a month, but I wear them multiple times a week for runs and walking the dogs. I have no complaints! I hope in the future there are more color options!

Love these and hand warmers fit in the mitten perfectly

Great construction and ergonomics.

I wear these for my morning walks. The temperatures have been quite chilly and so far, these are keeping my fingers warm. They are light weight and not bulky, so good for power walking and running.

I love gloves that have a mitten cover, so I can put it on or off based on the conditions. Went XC skiing with them and they were great. I sweat a lot in my hands when skiing, and these kept my hands dry. The reflective part is a good addition for dark/low light situations.

I absolutely love the convertible application. My fingers do not over heat nor get cold because of the flexibility of the wind guard.

My second pair of these and they are perfect.

Love these for winter long runs

Great everyday convertible mitt. Would love a fingerless option too for dexterity. Quick drying.

Be sure to use the size guide to get the right size gloves! I love these mittens, would 100% recommend to anyone! Greta for biking, running, walking! So cute!

Perfect for those early morning jogs - keeps the wind out and the warmth in!

Breathable and windproof, these are the best mittens for xc skiing and winter running.

Love the mittens! They fit so well and I use them to run and bike. Super easy to put on and off and use my phone too.

These are incredible. Would highly recommend

These gloves are perfect for chilly walks or sunny backcountry ski days. The built-in windproof mitten shell that flips on or off in seconds, offering warmth when needed and flexibility when not

Used these gloves at a cold Ohio State football game. My hands were never cold, even though I have poor circulation in my fingers. Excellent product

Wonderful mitten for running and spring skiing! On those really cold days I can put hand warmers in the "mitten cover" and not worry about having to hold onto them, they stay secure against the back of my fingers. This is my second pair!

Comfy, warm, and lightweight. Perfect for bike rides or winter sports when the weather is nice. I wish they had a piece to attach them to each other but instead I fold them into each other.

Perfect fit and great quality!!

Use for cold wx running. Love them.

Great gloveslove them, the windshield mitten over the fingered gloves really works well.
