"Absolutely stunning gloves for deep winter. The gauntlet cuffs are very long and roomy so they protect your wrists well with no issues to drag it over your jacket sleeves. Top shelf product!"

Alta Arctic Mitt Photography Glove

The Glove for Your Gloves
The Arctic is no joke, and this glove takes your warmth seriously. Like a sleeping bag for your hand, the Alta Arctic Over-mitt slips over any of the Vallerret gloves models adding that extra warmth protection and keeping your hands heated when you need it most.

Inspired by the Vallerret founders’ days dog mushing in the Arctic.

PLEASE NOTE: Inner Gloves are NOT included.

Features

Overmitt Design for Ultimate Insulation
The Alta Arctic Mitt is designed to be worn over a base glove (we recommend Tinden or Markhof Pro V3) for maximum warmth and protection against freezing temperatures, icy winds, and snow. The Alta Arctic Mitt glove is large in volume, most likely the biggest gloves you've ever owned. But it's all for a reason. It acts like a warm sleeping bag for your hands when you need it the most.

Inspired by the Vallerret founders’ days of dog mushing in the Arctic, you too can stay toasty warm in the harshest of winter environments, and continue capturing your images. 

Convenient Glove Harness
The super convenient Glove harness allows you to secure your Alta Arctic Mitts behind your back or let them hang loose when you don't need them. With the Glove Harness, you can keep your gloves secure but still within immediate reach, ready to face challenging Arctic conditions.

Carabiner Clip to Keep Things Tidy
Embrace convenience during your Arctic photography expeditions with the Alta Arctic Mitt Photography Glove's carabiner clip. Attach the gloves to each other, to your camera bag, backpack, or belt loop, ensuring easy accessibility whenever you require quick protection or warmth. 

FlipTech Thumb & FlipTech Mitt Cap
Maintain control over your camera with the FlipTech Thumb & FlipTech Mitt Cap. Flip back your thumb cap or zip open the Mitt Cap to expose your finger glove if needed, providing full access to your camera controls and dials.

Great mitts, excellent service!

I have had these mitts for a few years now. They are seriously warm and comfortable, I've used them down to about -25c with just some liner gloves underneath, and my hands were almost sweating (I sweat a lot, so not an issue with the mitts). I must also commend Vallerrets excellent customer service. I originally bought a pair that turned out to have a defect from a retail store, and when I contacted Vallerret they sent me a brand new pair, no questions asked. Very impressed, and highly recommended!

Thanks so much for your review of our Alta Arctic Mitt! We're thrilled to hear that they have kept your hands warm and comfortable in even the coldest temperatures. We hope you enjoy your mitts for many more adventures. Happy shooting!

Outstanding gloves

These will keep me warm and working in mild weather and when it gets downright freezing. Love them.

Thank you for your feedback. Enjoy your Alta Arctic Mitt and happy shooting :)
