Great Gloves For Backpacking.

Arc'teryx makes good stuff, the Venta mittens are no exception. I usually wear mine over other possum down gloves when it gets under 30 degrees and windy. They are very warm by themselves. Every bit as warm as possum down gloves but windproof and highly water resistant. The weight is dead on at 2.1 oz.

Weather Proof Waterproof

Really great cold weather product, shower proof at best definitely not waterproof

Keep Your Hands Dry.

The mittens are okay. It seems the sizing is a bit off. Going by the size guide. I was between an Xsmall-small. I think a medium would have been better, at least then I could wear gloves underneath. They’re good for wearing out in the rain when it’s above 40 but below 40, my hands get cold. Also, it says they can be used with touchscreens. I haven’t found that to be true. I wouldn’t buy them again.

Warm And Light!

I looked forever for a flexible warm mitten for dog walking. This is it! love the pull on loop as well!

Greate

perfect for many areas of use in winter: alpine skiing, summit tours, etc.!

Still On The Hunt

Bought these mittens hoping to finally find a stand alone pair for winter running, hiking, snowshoeing etc.. Unfortunately I'm still looking. I've had these out running with a wind chill temperature of 19. My hands were cold to the point I my fingers couldn't function that well when I took them off. I tried them again with the same temperature this time with a liner underneath. The liner definitely helped with the protection on my hands but leads to another issue I have with these mittens. The cuff isn't elastic and it's hard to get your hands into them. You shouldn't have to buy a size larger for ease of putting the mittens on only to have too much room in the hand portion of the mitten. I have other running mittens with elastic cuffs and it's extremely easy to put on and take off the mitten. Also, these are meant for outdoor activity in the cold which means you will have a runny nose at some point. Put a small piece of cloth on the thumb to allow wiping your nose. The current fabric is too rough to use. Overall, I think these would be just fine down to 10 degrees F if using a liner and doing high output activities but not meant as a stand alone for colder (below 20). temperatures if hiking or walking.

10/10 Would Buy Again

Once your hands warm up in these gloves they maintain a perfect temperature. Whether it's 10c or -10c my hands are warm and comfortable. Amazing gloves!

I Love Mittens…

I bought additional pairs as I have a habit of losing mitts… I wear them often for XC skiing, winter hiking and even warmer downhill days. I can wear with a thin fleece liner for additional warmth. They work great, good size and keep my Poor sensitive hands comfortable on active days. Wore them in a slushy rainy day and kept my hands dry and warm.

Best Mitten

Best cool weather mitt ever! I wear them on cool to slightly cold Ontario fall/spring days. They are perfection.

Same Great Mittens, More Durable Cuffs!

These are the perfect lightweight mittens for high-output activity like winter running and cross-country skiing. This is a very specific niche (breathable, lightweight shell mitten with almost no insulation), and we have yet to find anything better than the Venta. Between my wife and I, we have owned five pairs of these, with this pair being our sixth. Layered over a thin pair or merino liner gloves, these are perfect down to 10 degrees F or colder if you are working hard. The downside of the previous versions of these gloves was the flimsy cuffs, which easily tore at the seams with heavy use, especially when pulling them on over liner gloves in the cold. This new pair is our first of the newly revised model, and they seem to have made major structural improvements to the cuff area. It's too soon to say, but I'm very optimistic that Arcteryx has fixed the only flaw of the Venta mitten.

Perfect For Nordic Skiing Between 10-25f

I now have four pair of the first iteration. They are wind and water proof and provide more than adequate warmth for high output winter sports. On my older mittens I reinforced the stitching along the palmar edge. I think this revised version will correct the defect of the weak stitching of the pull tab. I know of no other manufacturer who makes a similar product.
