When the weather takes a turn for the worse, pull on the waterproof, breathable REI taped mittens for reliable protection from rain and snow. Wear the taped mittens over liner gloves or mittens (sold separately) in cold weather; or, wear them on their own in warm, wet weather. Waterproof, breathable REI Elements?« fabric is seam sealed for complete protection against moisture. Abrasion-resistant palms provide long-lasting wear and a sure grip on rugged adventures. Long gauntlet design extends well above the wrist; cinch closure keeps rain and snow out.
