Steps:
1. Search for a
mitten with an elastic or a drawstring cuff.
Any device that keeps snow out of the mitten
is a huge plus. It's hard to keep hands warm
when snow sneaks in.
2. Look at mittens
that have some type of water-resistant or waterproof
capabality. Keep in mind that when gloves get
wet, the hands inside get cold.
3. Think about
purchasing mittens that have an inner glove
or mitten. An extra layer contributes to warmth
without adding much bulk. And the mittens dry
more easily if the liner pulls out.
4. Check the other
special features of the mittens. Some have a
pouch that hold heat packets for those especially
cold days
5. Weigh the cost
of an excellent pair of mittens versus that
of an average pair of mittens. Remember that,
like socks in a dryer, mittens seem to easily
lose their partners.
