I have the, "The Heat Company SHELL" mitten. It has leather on the palm only. With this mitten, I use liners from local stores as I hated the Heat Company liners. I've had two types and they were both thin, fragile, and expensive. I've had them rip on me when putting them on after a few uses. Wouldnt recommend. Anyway, 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 Model 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?

Hi, not familiar with the HC company, before using Vallerret, I used to use regular winter gloves with a liner. I would say the vallerret is warm in winter for me and I do recommend it, I didn’t have it tested in -50c weather so can’t tell it how it holds up, you can also have the zippered pockets for those heat warmers packets, which could provide added heat, and they sell also liner as well so you ain’t fully exposed when using the thumb action and for added layer. That’s my thoughts, there is also the artic mit glove from valleret which is for more extreme cold you can check it out and use it over their gloves like the tinden. You can get the tinden with liner for staters and if you find it not enough you can add on the artic mitt if needed. Hope that helps

Hi mate great video review. Greetings from Mexico. One question, I’ll be in Rovaniami, Finland next March to see the Auroras do you think the Valleret Tinden would be the best option or shoul I go for the Markov Pro V3? Hope you can help me

[@FadiHage]

I guess In your case, it is all about temperature if your are dealing with negative degrees than you probably go with TINDEN than Markov pro v3. I guess check the temperature of your destination, for me I think the TINDEN would be better for Canada’s cold winters so if the temperature is about the same where you going, go with TINDEN, that’s what I would say, hope it helps. You can also reach out to Valleret if you need more help I’m sure they can help you out more.

@@FadiHage thank you for your answer

[@kaosimagery]

Nice job, Fadi, the Tinden looks much better than the Markhof series for the winters here in the Adirondacks (upstate NY).

[@FadiHage]

Thanks :) I am in Montreal so we have almost similar weather, heading into cold winter looking forward to using mine more

[@ShadowSnake141]

Thank you! :)

[@musictomyears870]

This is a great review, thank you. How is the fold back finger and thumb after long term use? Do they ever flip back unintentionally when you are handling kit?

[@FadiHage]

To be honest I haven’t used the glove much this winter to notice anything, I have been busy with other aspect of landscape photography which cut into my shooting time, but last year I used it and I didn’t notice that to be an issue when handling kit. It is well built and high quality so I don’t think that’s an issue.

[@musictomyears870]

@@FadiHage I actually went ahead and bought a pair on the strength of your video, they arrived a few days ago and I’m very happy with them . I’m off to Norway later this week and they look and feel great. I also bought a pair of slim merino lining gloves for extra warmth if needed and they work together perfectly. Thanks again 👍✨

[@JonathonJonJ]

Very informative and detailed video, man. I have a multi part question as I'm looking to purchase these gloves myself. What size are the gloves you got and are they true to your hand size? If not, would getting 1 size bigger be too big in your opinion?

[@FadiHage]

Thanks, I got the medium and for me fits well. They have a section on their website to show you the different sizes and how to find the best glove size for your hand. Best to check it out.
