Burton Mens Gore-TEX Insulated Mittens - Waterproof Warmth for Snow

In this review of the Burton Mens Gore-TEX Insulated Mittens the bottom line is straightforward: these mittens are built for riders who need dependable warmth and dryness in serious winter conditions. The single biggest reason to buy is the GORE-TEX membrane combined with Thermacore insulation, which together keep hands dry and warm during long days on the mountain. The review draws on how the DRYRIDE 2-layer shell, removable liner and Screen Grab palm work together to offer a practical, durable glove system rather than a one-size-fits-all accessory.

Key Features

• GORE-TEX waterproofing: The guaranteed-to-keep-you-dry membrane blocks wind and moisture so hands stay dry in wet, slushy or snowy conditions.
• Thermacore insulation: Integrated insulation provides consistent warmth across multiple runs without adding excessive bulk to hand movement.
• Removable liner: A four-way stretch fleece liner can be worn alone or paired with the shell for layering flexibility and fast drying after a day on the hill.
• DRYRIDE 2-layer shell fabric: The durable shell resists abrasion and handles the repeated contact mittens get while riding or handling gear.
• Screen Grab palm: Synthetic leather palm gives reliable touchscreen control that does not fray, wear out, or wash off.

Who It's For

These mittens are best for snowboarders and skiers who spend extended time in cold, wet mountain conditions and prioritize waterproofing and warmth over ultralight weight. Riders who like a simple shell-plus-liner system will appreciate the flexibility of wearing just the liner for mild days or combining both for peak winter warmth.

Not ideal for those who want ultra-fitted dexterity for intricate tasks or those seeking the lightest possible glove for summer or spring outings. If touchscreen-only glove performance or minimal bulk is the top priority, other models focused solely on slim gloves may be a better fit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Reliable waterproof protection from the GORE-TEX membrane keeps hands dry in wet snow.
• Warm and comfortable Thermacore insulation makes long days on the mountain tolerable even in cold temperatures.
• Removable four-way stretch liner dries quickly and gives useful layering options for changing weather.
• Screen Grab palm delivers steady touchscreen control without degrading with use.

Cons

• Mittens inherently reduce fine finger dexterity compared with gloves, which limits tasks like tying small knots or managing tiny buckles.
• The emphasis on warmth and waterproofing means they are not the lightest option for mild-weather activities.
