    Design details

    How much warmth do Makalu mittens offer?

    The blend of 90% duck down and 10% feathers, with an 800 fill-power (IDFB standard), guarantees maximum warmth and a compact pack size for temperatures as low as -30°C. The box-stitched construction reduces thermal bridges and improves the distribution of the down, ensuring consistent thermal insulation even in extreme conditions. Lastly, the brushed polyester lining further improves thermal comfort.

    Are these mittens compact?

    The 800 fill-power provides better insulation than the previous 660 fill-power model, for the same volume.
    Tested to the IDFB standard, it guarantees a down that is loftier, more insulating and has better performance, even in extreme conditions. So you can travel light without compromising on warmth.

    How do you adjust Makalu mittens?

    The quick-release fastening at the wrist and the adjustable elastic drawcord on the forearm ensure a precise and intuitive fit, even when wearing thick gloves. The long cuff with an adjustable tab reduces snow entry and retains warmth.

    What is the purpose of the leather reinforcements on the palms?

    The full-grain leather palm features targeted reinforcements for maximum resistance in high-wear areas. Its design ensures a secure grip on ropes and ice axes, even on ice or in mixed conditions.

    Why choose this new version?

    Thanks to the 800 fill-power duck down, these mittens provide insulation as low as -30°C and weigh just 202 g (size L). Their compact design saves weight and space in your backpack. The quick and intuitive adjustment system ensures a secure fit, even when wearing gloves and in extreme conditions. Lastly, their reinforced leather palms and sturdy design make it easier to perform manoeuvres with ropes and ice axes.

    What’s special about the wrist strap?

    The wrist strap is detachable: easy to remove or attach as required, so you’ll never lose your carabiners at altitude again.

    What is the RDS certification?

    Products certified to the Responsible Down Standard contain down or feathers sourced from farms that meet strict animal welfare requirements. Certificate No. CB-CUC-1319850. Control Union Certification
