Ed H's Review of Rab Expedition 8000 Mitts

I’ve tried all of the high altitude mitts - Marmot, Mountain Hardware and Rab. My challenge is that although slight build I have long fingers and have real challenges finding gloves that fit. This can be a real issue at extremes of altitude and temp when anything affecting circulation is a concern. These Rab gloves are superb - robust and warm and easy to get on/off. I prefer them to the Marmot 8000 gloves. Sadly the large was too big. So had to return - which camp saver was able to set up with no hassle. I found the Mountain Hardware extreme mitts (large) were best for me - but should stress that this is because of best fit - not because there is anything wrong with the Rab mitts.
Pros:
  • V robust, superb insulation, easy to use.
Cons:
  • Run v large.
Best Used for:
  • High altitude climbing 8000m and extreme cold.
Would Recommend: Yes
