I have the, "THE HEAT COMPANY SHELL" mitten. It has leather on the palm only. The H.C. Shell is a great glove, but I do not find it warm. With a good liner, I'm able to comfortably stay warm at about -10Cish. Anything lower and I start to get cold fingers. In Alberta, Canada, I want to be comfortable down to -50C. If you go to any store and buy good mitts, they will be much thicker, but missing the important features... I'm on the fence on selling my The H.C. Shell mittens and considering one of three options: 1) Getting the VALLERRET ATLA ARCTIC mit instead, but if it's warmer, is it?? 2) If Vallerret isn't warmer, I'd stick with The H.C. mitten, but get a larger shell so I can fit a thicker liner/glove underneath, such as the VALLERRET TINDEN. Might be annoying having to open both the mitten and the inner glove if needing to use a phone or something. And also maybe swap for the full leather one instead "Shell Full Leather". 3) Just stick with everything I have, and buy a BIG mitten to go overtop my current setup. Similar to what The H.C. has with their Polar Hood, but one that is nicely insulated as theirs isn't. - Mammut Arctic Mit, or Rab Endurance. Annoying to have this extra layer, but you'd be toasty Thoughts?
Hej @michaelfrymus thanks for your thoughts. If you expose yourself to temperatures like -50C you will hardly get around layering up more. Our Alta Arctic Mitt is a good option for this and with the included harness you don't necessarily need to open both gloves. If you combine those with a nicely insulated glove like the Tinden and have a good liner with it we have really good experiences in those cold conditions. Many of our Ambassadors leave the finger on the Tinden open while operating their cameras and then just "hide" in the Alta Arctic Mitt while they don't. It's hard to say what exact temperatures you can expose yourself with a specific setup since people are very different - as said in the video - in their reception of the cold and what they do out there. We'd like to add that our Alta Arctic Mitt is meant as an extra layer similar to the Mammut or Rab gloves of e.g. your current setup and is heavily insulated. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any more questions.
Hej Vladislav. The Markhof Pro V3 features a luxurious and soft Merino wool lining that provides exceptional warmth and comfort. The magical natural properties of Merino wool regulate temperature, keeping your hands cozy in cold conditions while also wicking away moisture.

@@vallerret Need any more ambasadors who can test your gloves out in the harsh Canadian Rocky winters?? :)
Does the Markhof Pro V3 have a Merino layer in the fingers‘ area?

@@vallerret , thank you for your response! I interpret that as „No, the Markhof Pro V3 doesn’t have a Merino layer in the fingers’ areas!”
@@vladislavihl They absolutely do! They have an all-over merino layer covering the whole hand including all fingers.
@@vallerret , that’s exactly what I wanted to know! Thank you very much for your explanation!
