Mountain Equipment Citadel Mitt

The Citadel Mitts from Mountain Equipment are the ideal companion for extreme conditions, whether you’re hiking, on an expedition, climbing, or ice climbing. Developed in close collaboration with experienced athletes, these mittens are an indispensable piece of gear for long, cold routes. They have already proven themselves on first ascents above 7,000 meters and on challenging alpine routes, keeping your hands warm even under the most extreme conditions.
This innovative two-piece system consists of an inner and outer glove that can be worn together or separately. The outer glove is made from durable DRILITE® Loft™ 20D fabric, which is highly water-repellent, windproof, and breathable. The insulation consists of three layers of 100% recycled PrimaLoft® Gold fill, which provides exceptional warmth on the back of the hand, while the PrimaLoft® Gold Grip insulation on the palm ensures the necessary grip and dexterity. The palm is additionally reinforced with waterproof goatskin to provide maximum protection.
The removable inner glove combines the same DRILITE® Loft™ 20D material with EXOLITE Softshell and goatskin on the palm. Its fleece lining offers exceptional comfort and warmth. The inner glove’s special finger design enhances dexterity and warmth compared to conventional fingered gloves. A one-handed adjustable elastic drawcord, carabiner loops, and removable wrist straps round out the well-thought-out design. These mittens are recommended by numerous expedition companies for climbs in the Himalayas, the Karakoram, and South America.
