In reply to NathanT. They are similar to the Decathlon mitts I reviewed the other day. Meaning, they will wet out eventually. The Decathlon mitts are a better comparison vs these very cold and wet weather ones. (I should say mittens and gloves take more abuse than rain jackets and that is part of the issue, too)

Any opinions on the Visp rain mitts from Enlightened Equipment? $30 instead of $18 but also a lot lighter and can be kept easily in a coat pocket in cases where the weather changes unexpectedly.

Thanks, I might try a pair.

Also I have made my own overmitts from Goretex and such, but want better grip and waterproofness when grabbing wet tool handles and ski poles.wondering if there is a Plastidip or truck bed liner type material to coat the palm and thumb.

Here is one source for a batch of light wool military mitten liners I like. Same thickness as the wool glove liners you use.

In reply to Dave. Got it. I can reverse it, but it looks well attached otherwise. I took some photos that might help?

In reply to Paul Mags. Can the liner be pulled free from the tip so the lining can dry faster? In other words is the lining attached only at the wrist hem? By the way I just found your site today when searching for the FrogWear mitt. Looks Good.

In reply to Dave. Oh, I'm sure if I put my mind to it, I could rip it out. Someone like yourself may have more patience.
