When the mountains turn brutal and resort conditions demand serious protection, the Outdoor Research Stormbound GORE-TEX Mitts deliver the elite warmth and weather defense that dedicated winter athletes need. Engineered for frigid backcountry missions and the stormiest resort days, these technical mitts combine 700-fill RDS-certified down with PrimaLoft synthetic insulation, creating a dual-layer defense that keeps your hands toasty even when conditions turn wet. The GORE-TEX waterproof insert seals out driving snow while maintaining breathability, while the water-resistant goat leather palm provides the grip and durability essential for handling poles, ice tools, and cold-weather gear. Interior finger stations and a pre-curved design maintain surprising dexterity for such a warm mitt, letting you adjust bindings, work zippers, and manage technical tasks without sacrificing the protection your hands need when the thermometer drops below zero.
