New 900 down option
We've just launched the option of 900 down on these mitts. This option reduces the weight of the Xero Mitts by 10gm, whilst keeping their cold-weather performance the same. Read more on our exceptional 900 down.
Following feedback from customers the security clip system on these mitts has been replaced with wrist attachments (idiot loops). These provide a flexible, light, and detachable system to reduce the chance of the mitts being blown off by the wind.

*Please note: we make our stuff sacs big enough to allow fairly easy stuffing rather than reducing the mitts to the tightest minimum. What air is left in the packed item will easily be compressed out of it, if you are squashing it into a small space in your rucksack. Tiny stuff sacs look impressive: but unless you are a sac-wrestling fan, fighting the gear into them day after day can be an unnecessary chore.
