I put em' to the test last weekend, they are new for me as well. They are very, very warm & waterproof. I'm a big fan of Polar-Tec and the removable liner are thick of the stuff. If they get sweaty when camping take the liners out turn them inside out & put them into your sleeping bag to dry them out overnight, or just wear the liners to sleep.
I also bought a $10(Fox River) http://www.foxsox.com/Catalog/SockDe...D=9995&c=BLACK super thin glove liner to wick away some of the sweat and have some protection when I slip my hand out for a quick picture.
What's also nice is you can stuff all 4 fingers into one section of the mitt instead of having your pointer finger solo. I did this a lot to quickly warm up my fingers.
The one drawback is......it is very combersome to to continually try & stuff the mitts into your hiking pole straps. I like using the straps on poles but it was very hard to do with a big expedition mitt like this.

) I might stow them in my pack until I absolutely need them and wear a lighter glove/mitten in the meantime. They are clearly designed for the extreme and overheating takes place pretty rapidly when one is on the move. They are very bulky, that's for sure! They look quite at home on top of Marcy!
