Reviews & Ratings for Extremities Tuff Bags GTX Glove - Men's — 1 review — Page 1

On a recent trip to Scotland I bought a pair of Buffalo's excellent pile mitts. They are very warm, but lack any kind of grippy material and, while water-resistant, are not waterproof. I couldn't find an over mitt I liked from the usual companies--OR, Black Diamond, etc. The Tuff Bags fit the bill--they fit nicely over my Buffalo mitts, have a good grippy palm, seem tough while still pretty light, well-made, and waterproof. My only issue is not a failing of the mitts, but the result of combining two separate products. Unlike an overmitt and inner-liner system like from OR, there is no connection between the outer and inner--so the inner mitt slips around inside and can make gripping things a little harder. Not a big deal as mitts are not high dexterity to begin with. I'll mostly use mine for keeping hands warm and dry while hiking so it shouldn't be an issues. By the same token, the Tuff Bags allow a lot of flexibility since there isn't that connection. I can wear anything underneath--Buffalo mitts, Dachsteins, lighter gloves, etc. They are clearly sized large to fit over an inner mitt. If wearing with thin liners, think about downsizing. Thrilled that Campsaver carried this uncommon British brand. Now if they'd only sell Buffalo as well.
