Review on 🌲 Outdoor Research Meteor Charcoal X Large: Ultimate Performance and Comfort for Outdoor Enthusiasts by Karyn Garcia

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Warm and extremely functional

This is the second pair of these mittens that I have ordered. I ordered medium the first time and they were too big for me so my teenage son was happy to keep them. The small fit me much better - it's unisex sizing so I think most women will fit the small. ADVANTAGES: There are two parts - shell and fleece lining. They can be worn together or separately. The earbuds are removable, so I don't understand the reviewer who wrote that they were too lumpy. There is velcro to avoid sticking. I had no problems with the magnets in the inner liner as another reviewer mentioned. They held my hands very gently on the coldest days. I love the gaiters and the laces around my wrists so I never have to worry about my mitten falling down an elevator. Mittens with a removable liner are great for a number of functional reasons, as well as being warm and easier to wash when needed - they dry much faster. The leg warmers are large and adjustable so you can keep warm. They even fit over my son's cast who has a broken arm. Also, I think the price is great for the quality. CONS: Only one and it's tiny. Gloves have pockets to keep hands warm. They have them, but I really had to look. I didn't even think I would ever find it. But I checked out the company's website, read a few answers there, and FOUND THIS. To find the pocket, remove the liner. When you fold back the top of the liner you will find a pocket opening on the back of the index finger area. Wonderful! A credit card hardly fits in this space. I haven't tried it with a hand warmer yet. GENERAL: Buy this. You will be happy and warm. :)
