Dakine Trigger Mitt performance and review:
The Dakine Fillmore Trigger Mitt is meant for colder days, for warmer days you will want something lighter, but for most of the winter these will be your best friend keeping your hands comfortable on any mission on the mountain. The Nylon/Poly with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment shell is superb at keeping water out, the palm is constructed of DWR leather and works good without applying Nikwax, however I would recommend applying the Nikwax provided. I have found that the leather does get a bit wet on the outside with prolonged exposure to having your palms on the snow, but it hasn’t gone through to the liner. The thumb panels are nice and soft for wiping your nose or goggles to get rid of snot or snow. It is touchscreen compatible, but I’m not sure how well I can operate my smartphone with a trigger mitt yet, that requires more testing. All in all, I’m really happy with the Dakine Fillmore Trigger Mitt. Check this product out if you’re looking for something a bit different this season to keep your hands dry and warm.
Pros:
- Great alternative for a rider looking for a mitten style with some extra finger flexibility
- Great Warmth
- Stays dry
- Comfortable – easy to put on and take off
- Easy to secure: Velcro closures stay closed
- Fits true to size
Cons:
- The DWR leather palm does get a bit wet when putting your hands down during the day

Have you tried the Celtek Trippin Pro mittens? I’m curious as to how they would compare against these particular pair of mittens?
Hi Josh, I haven’t tried them yet, we have reached out to Celtek, and are waiting to hear back. I agree this would be a great comparison, we will try to get something up soon.
