Product Description
These traditional heavy duty Dachstein woollen mitts have been used by generations of walkers and mountaineers. They are manufactured oversized from pure new wool, then carefully shrunk to fit. This gives them a hard wearing felted finish that is highly windproof and comfortable to wear, and although they are not waterproof, they retain their excellent insulation properties even when wet. The ideal winter mitt. Dachstein's can be worn on their own, or under a shell mitt for additional waterproofing.

These mittens are underrated over the internet, so i thought i would tell you how i got on with them.
I brought these mittens after seing MIC instructors useing them in the caingroms and in europe. Before purchancing them i had to get more info. I found the site CAVE & CRAG. some of the reviews on the site were quite in deph about how they dont preform and the way they dont provide protection from the wind. So i decided to buy them anyway.
The next day my tutor brought in a pair of his for free. He had used them all around the world and in a avalanche in itally. He said without them he would had lost fingers to frost bite (still in prime condition). So i endded up with two pairs of wool mitts for the price off one and a bad back.
These mittens are recomeded for climbing, mountaineering and alpine skills but can be used for skiing and walking. They are not waterproof but they hold a tight weave and still contain thier oil which makes them extremely water and wind resistant. Now i would recomned them to anyone, but if you like to have a grip on things they are not for you, if you suffer from cold hads and wrists then these are a good buy. you can wear a pair of soft shell gloves under them like the Black Diamond pilot or go bear.
I have two medium pairs and my hands a quite big.
