What are the Respond Mitts?
They're ultra-lightweight and highly packable mitts that use a combination of PrimaLoft® GOLD insulation and Pertex® fabric for reliable warmth and protection, whatever the conditions.
What are they made from?
Montane has constructed the Respond Mitts from Pertex® Quantum with PrimaLoft® GOLD insulation for reliable warmth and a brushed tricot lining to enhance performance.
Insulation: Montane has used 60g of PrimaLoft® GOLD insulation for warmth even in wet conditions. PrimaLoft® GOLD offers the ultimate warmth-to-weight ratio and has incredible packability and softness. It also happens to be made from 100% recycled polyester, making it a more environmentally responsible material. Even if your mitts get wet during your adventure, simply wring them out, and the insulation still performs impressively well when wet and dries exceptionally quickly.
Fabrics: The outer mitt is constructed from Pertex® Quantum that comprises 100% recycled nylon. Pertex® fabrics are created from recycled materials and use tightly woven fibres for excellent wind resistance and durability whilst still being lightweight and soft. They are designed to perfectly balance wind resistance and breathability, providing the ultimate performance for intense, fast-paced mountain missions. The Pertex® Quantum outer traps still air, helping to warm the insulation and maintain its efficiency whilst creating a light, protective barrier from the elements. This fabric is also coated with a PFC-Free DWR (durable water repellent) to further enhance the fabric's water-resistant properties, encouraging rain and snow to bead off the mitts instead of soaking in. However, please note that this does not make the mitts waterproof.
The Respond Mitts also use faux leather to the tips of the thumbs for touchscreen compatibility, whatever the weather. Whilst a brushed tricot lining made from recycled polyester provides for additional warmth and moisture management. This soft lining is fast drying and moisture wicking, to further enhance the mitts performance.
What are its features?
The Respond Mitts feature curved inner seams on the fingers for natural movement and elasticated cuffs for a snug fit to keep the vital wrist area warm. The mitts are touchscreen compatible, so you're still able to operate your mobile phone without having to take them off and bare your hands to the cold.
Top stitch quilting ensures the insulation doesn't move over time, keeping it evenly distributed to provide maximum warmth across the hands.
