Meteor rules
Received the mitts super fast from Altrec. Mitts fit true to size. Liners are awesome with foldback fingers and thumb. Shells are durable and have good grip material. Also, mitts are surprisingly supple - as much so as some gloves.

Meteor Mitts
So I first ordered these mittens as a size medium with a 8.5 hand circumference and they were too small (I may have long fingers?). I swapped them for the large and although they seem a bit short in the fingers - I'm keeping them. The interior fleece gloves are really thick/warm (and honestly a bit tight) and I plan to use a substitute thinner pair as these gloves are plenty warm enough for skiing. Plus, with that fleece bulk it seems cramped in the finger box.
Excellent craftsmanship and OR has really applied some great features (one-handed tighten/loosen cinch system, tiny magnets to secure the interior liner flap that folds back to expose fingers and another to secure the thumb flap).
Overall GREAT value!

Another Great OR Product
Living in No California, I'm fortunate to be close to a wide range of mountain activities. I own a variety of OR gloves and mitts for various conditions. I bought the OR Meteor Mitts to fill the gap between my expedition mitts and trekking gloves. I recently hiked Mt Ralston (9280) on a mild winter day. Due to the lack of snow, the hike had very little on the trail and the temp as I started was around 38. After an elevation change of 3000 feet I reached the summit and right into a 40 mph wind with temps at 0. My trekking gloves got cold quick. I had packed the Meteors for just this case and they definitely came through. Within 15 min my hand were warm and within 20 minutes of descending my hands were sweating. These mitts are real warm and the inner liners have thumb and finger slots for using your fingers without removing the liners from your hand.

Awesome mitts...
Like all OR products, these ones really make the grade. Awesome fit and construction. I think they run a tad small though and I had to return mediums for larges. Overall, awesome gear!

Great Versatile Mitts
My wife and I both purchased these OR Meteor Mitts, and are very pleased with them. We both do landscape photography, and find the inner liner mitts perfect for use with thin glove liners while operating our cameras. The magnetic attachment system for fingerless and thumbless use is great. The poskcet for a chemical warmer is handy. We also keep a chemical warmer in the outer mitt. Plunging back into the cozy warmth of the outer, waterproof, mitt is great. Very pleased.
