Description
Winter mitts with isolated index finger for mitt warmth plus trigger control, B-Tek™ High-Loft insulation, hex-grip palms
Baffin Throttle Winter Mitt is the hybrid in Baffin's Polar Proven® hand-protection line: a mitten with an isolated index finger. The mitt shape keeps four fingers together for shared heat, while the separated index finger handles triggers, throttles, fishing reels, and zippers. B-Tek™ High-Loft insulation, wind-and-water-resistant nylon and leather shell with hex-grip palms, and an extended cuff. Sizes M, L, XL.
Key Features of Baffin Throttle Winter Mitt
- Mitt shape keeps four fingers together to share heat, the same warmth advantage every regular mitt provides
- Isolated index finger lets you pull a trigger, work a throttle, manage a fishing reel, or tap a touch-screen without removing the mitt
- B-Tek High-Loft insulated mitts construction traps warmth without bulk, the same fill used in the Baffin Guide glove but in warmer mitt form
- Wind and water-resistant nylon and leather shell handles snow, slush, and light spray (note: not fully waterproof; the Guide glove sibling is the waterproof option)
- Hex-grip palm pattern holds onto throttles, fishing rods, axe handles, and other slippery surfaces from multiple directions
- Extended cuff layers under your parka or jacket sleeve so cold air does not enter at the wrist
- Polar Proven® field-tested by Baffin in real Arctic conditions, not just lab-tested in a cold chamber

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the isolated index finger work?
Winter mitts with isolated index finger work like this: four fingers share a common chamber where they trap each other's heat, the same warmth advantage every regular mitt provides. The index finger has its own separate sleeve so you can use it independently to pull a trigger, work a snowmobile throttle, manage a fishing reel, operate zippers, or tap a touch-screen, without removing the mitt and losing all the heat.
Is the Throttle Mitt warmer than the Baffin Guide or Talon gloves?
Yes. Mitts are warmer than gloves at the same insulation level because adjacent fingers warm each other inside one chamber. The Throttle uses the same B-Tek™ High-Loft insulation as the Guide glove but in mitt form, which adds noticeable warmth in the same conditions. The Talon glove has no insulation called out, so the Throttle is meaningfully warmer than the Talon.
Are these waterproof?
No. Baffin calls the shell wind and water-RESISTANT, not waterproof. This is different from the Baffin Guide gloves, which are explicitly waterproof. The Throttle handles snow, slush, and light spray, but is not rated for prolonged wet exposure. For ice fishing with wet lines, hands often in water, or rainy snow, the Guide glove is the better match.
Can I wear a thin liner glove inside the Throttle Mitt?
Yes, and many cold-weather users do. A thin liner glove adds warmth in deep cold and lets you slip the mitt off briefly without losing all hand heat, useful when you need full finger dexterity for a quick task. Choose a thin synthetic or merino liner that does not bulk up the mitt; a thick liner will compress the B-Tek™ insulation and reduce its warmth instead of adding to it.
What does the hex-grip palm do?
Hex-grip is a textured palm pattern that grips slippery surfaces from multiple directions: throttles, fishing rods, ski poles, rope, axe handles, anything that gets icy or wet. The pattern holds when you tighten your hand around something cold or smooth. Same hex-grip technology used on the Baffin Guide glove.
How do I wash and care for them?
Per Baffin's care label: warm-water hand wash only, no bleach, no tumble dry, no iron, no dry cleaning, air dry naturally. Dry the mitts shape-up so air can circulate through the finger and palm chambers. Leather sections will benefit from a light leather conditioner once or twice per season.
