Product Information

Full details

The Buffalo Systems DP Mitts are professional-grade thermal handwear designed for trekkers, climbers, and cold-weather enthusiasts who need reliable protection against harsh elements. These mitts excel at trapping body heat and blocking wind, making them ideal for high-output activities in temperatures ranging from -5°C to +12°C. While they offer exceptional thermal efficiency and packability, they are primarily performance-focused tools and may lack the tactile dexterity found in thinner, touchscreen-compatible gloves.

FAQs

What temperature range are these mitts for?

They are designed for optimal performance in temperatures between -5°C and +12°C.

Can I use these for technical climbing?

Yes, they are suitable for alpine climbing, though they are best suited for use between technical sections where dexterity is paramount.

Are they waterproof?

They feature a water-resistant Pertex shell, but they are not seam-sealed or waterproof. They are designed for windproof thermal protection.

How should I clean them?

Hand wash with mild soap and air dry. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.

Do these mitts come in different sizes?

Yes, they are available in sizes S, M, L, and XL to ensure a proper fit for various hand sizes.

Troubleshooting

Hands feeling damp inside

The AquaTherm lining is designed to move moisture. Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable layers under the mitts which can trap sweat.

Wind penetrating the cuff

Re-adjust the touch-and-close wrist strap to ensure it is cinched tight over your outer jacket layer to create a proper seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
  • Effective windproofing up to 50mph
  • Lining stays warm even when wet
  • Durable Pertex construction for rugged use
  • Compact and easy to stow in small pockets

Cons

  • Limited finger dexterity compared to gloves
  • Not touchscreen compatible
  • Not fully waterproof in extreme submersion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, adjust the touch-and-close wrist strap so the cuff is snug against your base layer or jacket sleeve; this prevents the 'chimney effect' where cold air enters from the wrist.

Care instructions include:

  • Washing: Use a mild, non-detergent soap or specialized technical fabric cleaner. Hand wash in cool water.
  • Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the Pertex shell and internal pile.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving the mitts compressed for extended periods to ensure the pile maintains its loft over time.
