Gloves & Mitts

Howl Houston 2019-2020 Snowboard Mitt Review

  • SIZES: S, M, L, XL
  • PRICE: €120

Why we chose the Howl Houston Snowboard Mitts: These little devils will keep your hands warmer than sin.

A good pair of mitts can really make or break your snowboard holiday, anyone who’s stuffed their hands into their armpits on a chairlift to warm them up can attest to that. Howl has one of the most stacked teams in the game, so it’s only fair to assume that they make some of the best hand huggers out there.

This is a mitt that’ll be able to go the distance, it’ll last for every hand drag and every high five. The tough exterior is made from goat skin leather which is considered to be among the most durable options. The leather itself will keep most water out, however you’ll have to clean and wax it every once in a while to keep it at its most effective.

The actual waterproofing comes in the form of a Hipora glove insert, which is a polyurethane film covered with loads of micro pores. It can let sweat and moisture out, but won’t let any water in. Now, that’s what we call handy (haha).

“Howl have kindly added leashes to keep them safe in your grasp”

The Houston is one of Howl’s warmest options, it’s filled with Primaloft insulation to keep you nice and toasty even when it’s blowing a gale. A microfleece lining sits inside the mitt to keep your claws comfy all day.

It’d break your little heart to drop these badboys off a chair lift, so Howl have kindly added leashes to keep them safe in your grasp. They are removable though, if you’d rather live life on the edge. The palms are grippy so you can stick those grabs and the micro suede thumb is perfect for wiping goggles or drippy noses.
