What are the Infinium Windproof Convertible Mitts?
Cosy, windproof and made with incredibly soft fabrics – The Infinium Convertible Mitts will be your go-to layer for everything from days out on the hills to commuting and everything in between. The Gore-Tex and cosy fabrics combine to make the ideal everyday glove! They offer versatile protection from the elements – wear them as fingerless gloves when you’re on the move and need to dump heat and pop up the ‘Mitt’ for extra protection when it gets chilly!
What are they made of?
The Infinium Mitts are made using a 3-Layer Gore-Tex Infinium construction. The outer layer is a soft fleecy face. Underneith that, the Gore-Tex Infinium Membrane with stretch technology provides exceptional windproofing to help protect your hands when the weather is cold and windy, without hindering your dexterity. Whilst this membrane is not waterproof, it will still protect your hands from light showers. In practice we have found that it will take a long time for water to ingress into these gloves. Should you find yourself out in a torrential downpour then these gloves will easily slide under a shell mitt. On the inside the gloves feature and exceptionally cosy fleece backer. This backer also helps move moisture away from your skin to avoid sweaty hands.
What are the features?
The Infinium Mitts feature a Suede Leather palm for added durability and touchscreen fingertips on index and thumb so you can use your phone without having to take off your gloves. They also feature a handy pull on tab and pull off loop so you can easily get these on and off when you’re on the move.
Where do they fit in the Layering system and how do they fit?
On your hands... Seriously though, we recommend to carry more than one set of gloves in the hill; one to wear straight out of the gate which doesn't need to be overly warm as you will generate your own heat (softshell gloves are great for this), one you change to if your first pair get wet (a waterproof option is a good idea) and for extra safety a pair of warm gloves. The Infinium’s feature a close-to-skin fit and have been designed to be worn as the closest layer to the skin – when the weather is horrendous the Infinium’s will easily slide under a pair of shell mitts.
