Happy dogs - Outdoor Research Lucent Heated Mitts - Mens

The temperature has been below 0 degrees fahrenheit recently and my dogs have suffered. Not from the cold, but from MY inability to endure the frigid temps - especially with my hands. I suffer from Reynauds and even though I was at first skeptical, I thought that these mittens might be my best shot at a remedy. Thanks to Campsaver's wonderful return policy, I had nothing to lose. Compared to Outdoor Research's Alti Mitts, which mostly everyone claims to be the warmest solution to cold hands, their Lucent Heated Mitts for people like myself, with Raynauds, actually turned out to be the solution. The Alti mitts, which I own are great in their own right, but when I've had to temporarily remove my hands from the mitts they would soon turn to blocks of ice which would not thaw out even after many agonizing minutes. The Lucent Heated Mitts on the other hand have proven to provide, on the warmest setting, the required temperature to comfortably return warmth to my hands. Recently I was amazed that after hiking with my pups for a half hour and raising my body temp I was able to then lower the setting of my mitts to medium, which provided more than enough warmth for both hands. Longer hikes means happy dogs. Thank you Outdoor Research and Campsaver!
