Product Information

Full details

The Buffalo Systems DP Mitts are an essential piece of gear for outdoor enthusiasts and hill walkers who need reliable hand protection in unpredictable UK weather. Engineered to remain windproof in gusts up to 50mph while providing consistent warmth through an AquaTherm pile lining, these mitts offer a high performance-to-weight ratio for winter trekking. While they excel in moisture management and insulation, users should note that they are not fully waterproof, relying instead on a quick-drying design that works best when active.

FAQs

Are these mitts waterproof?

They are windproof and highly water-resistant, but they are not fully waterproof. They are designed to stay warm even if they become damp.

What is the primary temperature range for these mitts?

They are designed to perform best in temperatures between -5°c and +12°c.

Can I operate a smartphone while wearing these?

Due to the mitt design, manual dexterity is limited; you would need to remove the mitt to use a touchscreen effectively.

How do I choose the right size?

The Buffalo Systems DP Mitts come in standard adult sizes (S, M, L, XL). Choose your usual glove size for a standard fit.

Can these be machine washed?

Yes, they can be washed on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, but avoid fabric softeners and high-heat drying.

Troubleshooting

Hands feel cold during stationary activities

The DP system relies on body heat to function; if you are standing still for long periods, consider pairing them with a thin liner glove.

Mitts feel damp inside after heavy exertion

This is normal as the pile lining wicks sweat away from your skin. Simply turn the mitts inside out to air them out once your activity is finished.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind resistance up to 50mph
  • AquaTherm lining retains heat when damp
  • Extremely lightweight and compressible
  • Secure wrist adjustment for heat retention
  • Effective across a wide temperature range

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof in heavy, prolonged rain
  • Mitt design limits manual dexterity for intricate tasks
  • Requires active body movement to maintain optimal insulation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, tighten the touch-and-close wrist adjuster once the mitts are on; a snug fit is essential to prevent heat loss through the cuff. Regarding care, these mitts should be washed in mild soap and air-dried away from direct high-heat sources to protect the synthetic fibers. Do not use fabric softeners, as these can impede the moisture-wicking capabilities of the AquaTherm lining. Ensure they are completely dry before storing them long-term in a compressed state.
