PRODUCT SUMMARY
By hotChocolate

THE GOOD
1) Mittens are thin enough that I can clasp something in my hand. 2) Waterproof neoprene cuff will keep your wrists warm even if they get a little wet. 3) There is a buckle to attach gloves together so that you don’t lose one in your pack. 4) The nose-wipe thumb panel is soft. 5) They are very comfortable to wear.

THE BAD
I have seen other reviews stating that this glove would be great for all conditions and strongly disagree. Although I think that it is perfect for some conditions, the Targa GT glove is definitely not suitable for extreme cold, extreme moisture or lightweight expeditions.

In fact, I don’t think anyone has figured out how to design a lightweight, fully waterproof, breathable, truly warm mitten with a low profile. This mitten is great for Spring skiing, but it is limited beyond that.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Disclaimer: I have terrible circulation and constantly struggle to keep warm. With that said, there is no possible way that this mitten would keep my hands warm in winter temps between 25 and -20. However, I have been using these mittens over the last couple months of Spring skiing and they have been great! I would highly recommend these mittens for skiing in dry conditions when the temp is between 25-50 degrees F.
