When even good gloves stop being enough, a mitten is the most honest answer: your fingers warm each other instead of freezing one by one. The Reusch Kaitlyn R-TEX XT is a women's ski mitten for the coldest weeks of midwinter, shown here in black. The R-TEX XT membrane keeps it reliably waterproof, even when the snow refuses to stop for hours on end.
The mitten cut is the simplest warming technology there is, and combined with the waterproof, breathable membrane you get both: warm hands and a climate inside that never turns clammy. The fit is shaped for women's hands. On the lift, in a chair facing the wind and on the long run back to the valley is where you notice the difference most.
