Our 3-Layer eVent Rain Mitts are the most popular single brand gear item on lightweight thru-hiker gear lists the world over. Since their release in 2007, they’ve been ‘along for the ride’ with many a long distance hiker. Their excellent performance has been proven over, and over, and over.

Why are our mitts so popular? MLD 3-Layer eVent Rain Mitts have articulated thumbs positioned off the palm face, not the standard design with thumbs out the side seam. They also have tall wrist cuffs for proper overlap with rain jacket wrist closures. They’re designed for the wrist bungee to last a very long time and be a one-hand pull or loosen maneuver that is functional over other layers. And, they weigh less than an ounce per pair!

These mitts are designed for ultra-lightweight protection, for 3+ Season hikers, needing short term early morning warmth or anytime rain protection. Not intended as all day everyday cold weather mitts, but plenty of folks are using them that way! At just over an ounce for the pair, they won’t last as long as 6 oz | 170 gm winter over-mitts. Keep away from campfires and heat sources to prevent the eVent membrane from delaminating. Not warranted against fabric wear out. They have lasted many thru-hikers one full trip; your mileage may vary. Going over 3,000 miles? Get two pairs…
