Bought these for my wife. She hates being cold, these were a game changer. The wrist straps are nice, she's able to wear mittens, easily take them off, zip up kids without dropping a glove.

So glad I got these. I have Raynauds and these kept my hands warm in the -30F winter weather.
My favorite feature is the wrist straps so I can take them off and not have to hold them.

I have cold hands...even in the summer. Skiing when the temps drop to the teens usually means my hands are icy cold after a couple of runs, even with liner gloves and heat packs in my old Burton Radar mitts. I just wore my brand new Hestra Heli mittens for a week of skiing at Mt. Tremblant in Quebec in early Feb, where the temps dipped to single digits and below. While I would not say that my hands were warm, they were also not freezing cold. I don't generate a lot of body heat and my hands even less, so even with liner gloves and heat packs behind my fingers, my hands felt cold in the Hestra Heli mitts after about 2 hours of skiing, but not painfully so. They are not perfect but I'm pretty happy with them for keeping my hands relatively warm. Now if only I can find heated liners to go in them.

I do have 2 issues with these mitts:
1. They're partially white! Which means they show dirt easily. My mitts were brand new, and the palms were a bit brownish just from carrying the skis from our condo to the shuttle bus, and then onto the cabriolet lift from base of the pedestrian village to the base of the mountain. Wished the palms weren't so light in color.
2. Other reviewers raved about the Hestra handcuffs but I found them overrated and useless. They're not adjustable! Yeah, yeah, they're elastic straps, so if your wrists are bigger than the elastic loops, they'll expand to accommodate your wrists and prevent you from losing your expensive Heli mitts. But I have slim wrists, which meant the nonadjustable handcuffs kept falling off when I'd take the mitts off to adjust my balaclava or goggles and then brought my hands down to my sides a bit too quickly. I'm definitely replacing the Hestra handcuffs with adjustable wrist leashes!

I love my Hestras! They are super warm (my hands are always cold), even on really cold days. I wear them for skiing, and they're soft enough that it's easy to handle my poles, buckle my boots, etc. when wearing them. They also never get wet inside!

The warmest mittens! I love the straps so you won't lose one on the lift. I had been searching for them everywhere in my size in pink and luckily Alpine East was able to ship them to me through Amazon. They arrived earlier than expected and with plenty of time before my ski trip.
