Winter or spring? Active or static? Up or down? Stay warm, fast and efficient with our fully synthetic, four-season Women’s Storm Mitt.
Rab says
The lightweight, multifunction Women’s Storm Mitt is crammed with premium technologies. Designed to provide the warmth for mountain work, the sweat control for fast hikes and the feature set for everyday use, it uses proven Stratus™ sheet insulation for outstanding quick-dry breathability. That is encased in a ripstop nylon shell with a DWR coating and a waterproof Porelle® Dry microporous membrane for class-leading comfort when moving fast in wet mountain weather. In addition to Flexible Porelle® inserts that provide extra protection without compromising the through-flow of sweat, the new glove also features a pre-curved fit and textured polyurethane palm for a steady grip on your ice axe, your trekking poles and your post-climb pint.
With outstanding comfort, multi-use flexibility and a weight of just 117g, the Women’s Storm Mitt can be worn all day or stashed away in your go-to backpack.
Our Verdict
Rab's Womens Storm Mitts have a Porelle lining making them waterproof while the insulation comes from synthetic Stratus material Rab have used in a number of their jackets. The design and fabrics used in the Storm Mitt make them ideal for the cold, wet conditions you'd expect to encounter in the hills and mountains of Britain. This updated version is significantly lighter in weight than the previous model while the use of Stratus insulation is an upgrade in terms of both warmth and weight. The soft leather palms improve grip and the reinforcements improve durability massively.
The biggest problem I have with these mitts is the fact that the 'internal finger pockets' is essentially a glove lining. For me it feels strange and in my opinion defies the point of the mitt. It's not uncomfortable or less warm that I've noticed but it just doesn't work for me.
