Come on, North Face Himalayan mittens are so last season. You're not still seriously considering buying a pair are you? You are? Well, of course you are. The North Face offers some of the most comfortable, not to mention warm apparel (gloves and mittens included) you could possibly ever hope to buy. Sure, the Himalayan gloves are one option, but the company also offers more than a dozen other gloves/mittens for both men and women. Our personal favorite is the Love Glove because, well, because... okay, we admit it. We just like the name. A lot. At $120 though, it's probably not the most economical of the North Face glove range.
If price is your main concern, then the $20 liner waterproof gloves (light and ideal for layering) or the $50 work glove may be far more to your liking. I mean, it's not like you need the water-resistant leather palms, the brushed polytricot lining and the pile fleece insulation; the four-way stretch fabric; or the Extreme Gore-Tex Soft insert of the (say it with me, nice and slow like) Love Glove. You get what you pay for, so the saying goes, and in this case, it's a whole lot of loving. For your hands. Come on, how can you not love it?
While not as extensive, the women's range's most expensive glove is the $90 Surge Gore glove. Waterproof and breathable, it features a removable liner and has a silicon palm to increase durability. It also comes in three colors: Black/Asphalt Grey, Brownie/Black, and Dune Beige/Fossil Ivory. Right about now you're probably thinking Himalayan what? Yeah, that's what we figured. Forgetting about the gloves for a second, the Purr Fect Mitt, at only $60 is a wonderful solution for your freezing lil hands. In addition to four cheery colors (Jewel Blue, Moonlight Ivory, Dune Beige and Black; okay so one not-so cheery color) these North Face mittens offer a host of useful features:
Still got your heart set on The North Face Himalayan gloves do you? Fine. The truth is, these mittens are highly effective and a good purchase should that be what you're looking for. Because down feathers do not work well when wet, the goose down insulation can purportedly be less effective when holding extremely cold items for long periods of time. Although somewhat difficult to find, these are worth buying if you can get your mitts (excuse the awful pun) on them. Typically, Himalayan The North Face mittens retailed for around $100, but could and should in all likelihood be found for much less these days.
And just in case all this information has clogged up your brain, we though it prudent to remind you that to the right of this article you'll find a host of links to all manner of The North Face gloves, protective snowboarding gear and winter garments. Because after all, it's not just your hands that are gonna need to be kept warm this winter by North Face Himalaya Mittens.
