REI Co-op Switchback GTX Mittens

REI Co-op Switchback GTX mittens combine warmth and weatherproofness for backcountry adventures. Removable fleece liner gloves can be worn alone or slipped into the shells for added warmth while maintaining dexterity.

GORE-TEX waterproof, breathable, windproof shells are backed by lightweight synthetic insulation and soft interiors. Synthetic leather palms offer superior abrasion resistance and a secure grasp on ice tools and ski poles, while abrasion-resistant shell material, wrap-cap fingertips and strategically placed overlays add durability.

is the overmitt insulated or just a shell?

The shells are lined with a lightweight synthetic insulation and also have GORE-TEX Plus Warm technology to help keep your hands warm.

As expected because liner gloves don't have a loop for wrist leashes, I've lost my left liner glove. How do I get a replacement liner? I might even want a whole pair, just in case. These are necessity for skiing/birding in frigid Adirondacks weather!

We have numerous options that will work; however, our Liner Gloves are most similar, item 252026. Check out the complete selection of liners below: www.rei.com/c/mens-liner-gloves

I really like the liner gloves and would like another pair to alternate with the first on a hike. Can they be purchased separately?

We have you covered. Please open the link below: REI Co-op Liner Gloves | REI Co-op

Are these Switchback mittens warm enough to ski in? Insulation is “lightweight”. Any idea on temperature range if active?

These mittens are great for skiing or snowboarding. We don't provide temperature ratings on clothing because warmth depends on many different variables including activity level, metabolism, perspiration as well as the other clothing layers you are wearing.

From feedback to field testing, all of our gear is dialed-in by REI Co-op members. Their adventures informed every stitch and detail—making for better, longer-lasting gear.
