Chestnut | The Country Mitt

I had to try these when I saw the Skida x VT Glove collaboration (luckily was in the market for new gloves when these dropped). I love the rich chestnut color, p-cord wrist pull accent, and high quality leather. The gloves were thinner than I expected, which worried me at first, but after wearing them on a long snowshoe hike and downhill skiing a few times, I’ve found them super warm and am really satisfied. I do wish the wrist cuffs were a bit longer so that they would fit overlapping a coat's sleeves, but tucking them into the sleeves/cuffs worked just as well. My hands are pretty small and after trying on a small and medium, I went with the medium so that glove liners would fit inside with some wiggle room for really cold days. Overall would recommend these!

I e had the mittens and they’re breaking in well. I like the quality of materials and stitching but I wish they came in a slightly bigger size (XXL) because they don’t feel quite deep enough. The online sizing guide suggested I order L. Those were far too small, so I exchanged them for XL. That process was simple and the new mittens were shipped very quickly with no hassles. I’m hoping as I wear the XLs they will stretch out a little bit more, then they’ll be perfect.

Despite reading about the technical properties, I bought these mitts to be a nice-looking town piece, or to wear post-ski when I'm chilled and need to get really warm. They work great for both. The inside is very soft, fleecy and comforting. The leather is nice and supple. They are incredibly warm. And they fit and feel better the more you wear them in. I've gotten a ton of compliments on them for their looks, but really love them for how comfortable they are. I want to keep them nice so probably wouldn't wear them for high output play days, but think they'd be pretty functional. Highly recommend.
