Baffin Polar Mitts

Pros: 

Our neighbors to the north are no stranger to cold temps. But Canadian brand Baffin isn’t content to tour their own infamously frigid nation—they’ve been supplying polar explorers with insulated winter boots for decades now. In 2011, Baffin introduced apparel to their lineup, and the Baffin Polar Mitts are indicative of how the bootmaker has applied their cold-weather knowledge to new product categories. 

These oversized mitts sport enormous cuffs, which swallow up jacket sleeves and cinch down to block wind from creeping in between the cracks. The outer is crafted from water-resistant nylon with reinforced leather zones, while the multi-layer liner is removable and adds to the versatility of the mitts.

Cons: 

We’ve yet to have any issues with these mitts!

Tester Comments: 

“When my hand was overheating, or the liner got wet with snow, it was helpful to have the removable liner. More than anything, I love the long cuffs for use in extremely cold weather.”

Best For: 

Keeping your hands warm in cold-weather situations, from fat-biking to winter camping.
