"Absolutely stunning gloves for deep winter. The gauntlet cuffs are very long and roomy so they protect your wrists well with no issues to drag it over your jacket sleeves. Top shelf product!"
Jarno Nurminen, Alta Arctic Mitt customer
Inspired by the Vallerret foundersā days dog mushing inĀ the Arctic.
PLEASE NOTE: Inner Gloves are NOT included.
Overmitt Design for Ultimate Insulation
The Alta Arctic Mitt is designed to be worn over a base glove (we recommend Tinden or Markhof Pro V3) for maximum warmth and protectionĀ against freezing temperatures, icy winds, and snow.Ā The Alta Arctic MittĀ glove is large in volume, most likely the biggest gloves you've ever owned. But it's all for a reason. It actsĀ like a warm sleeping bag for your hands when you need it the most.
Inspired by the Vallerret foundersā days of dog mushing in the Arctic, you too can stay toasty warm in the harshest of winter environments, and continue capturing your images.Ā
Convenient Glove Harness
The super convenient Glove harness allows you to secure yourĀ Alta Arctic MittsĀ behind your back or let them hang loose when you don't need them. With the Glove Harness, you can keep your gloves secure but still within immediate reach, ready to face challenging Arctic conditions.
Carabiner Clip to Keep ThingsĀ Tidy
Embrace convenience during your Arctic photography expeditions with the Alta Arctic Mitt Photography Glove's carabiner clip. Attach the gloves to each other, to your camera bag, backpack, or belt loop, ensuring easy accessibility whenever you require quick protection or warmth.Ā
FlipTech Thumb & FlipTech Mitt Cap
Maintain control over your camera with the FlipTech Thumb & FlipTech Mitt Cap. Flip back your thumb cap or zip open the Mitt Cap to expose yourĀ finger glove if needed, providing full access to your camera controls and dials.
DesignedĀ for: Arctic Winter Conditions
PLEASE NOTE: Inner Gloves are NOT included.

Never worn a glove harness? Buddy, you are in for a treat! Just drop your gloves and let them hang or tug them behind your back without worrying about loosing them.
Alta Arctic Mitt Photography Glove
Great mitt for cold weather photography
Thanks for your review of the Alta Arctic Mitt! Enjoy your Mitt and happy snapping :)
I have had these mitts for a few years now. They are seriously warm and comfortable, I've used them down to about -25c with just some liner gloves underneath, and my hands were almost sweating (I sweat a lot, so not an issue with the mitts). I must also commend Vallerrets excellent customer service. I originally bought a pair that turned out to have a defect from a retail store, and when I contacted Vallerret they sent me a brand new pair, no questions asked. Very impressed, and highly recommended!
Thanks so much for your review of our Alta Arctic Mitt! We're thrilled to hear that they have kept your hands warm and comfortable in even the coldest temperatures. We hope you enjoy your mitts for many more adventures. Happy shooting!
These will keep me warm and working in mild weather and when it gets downright freezing. Love them.
Thank you for your feedback. Enjoy your Alta Arctic Mitt and happy shooting :)
So over my many years as a professional landscape photographer, I have tried dozens of different brands of glovesā¦as many models as you can possibly buy in a lifetime! What ever most companies call winter gloves with tactile function simply doesnāt work as intendedā¦
I live in Canadaā¦we know what winter is here! And it took people from the great north to understand other people from the great north as far as keeping our hands hot goes!
My hope to find proper photography gloves were almost dead until I tried Vallerret Markhof not too long ago! I later got a pair of Alta Arctic Mitts and Pro Liners and wow! Finally a modular gloves/mitts option that works for us landscape photographers! If the temperature is nice and warm, I can only wear my Linersā¦things are getting colder outside, Iāll use the Markhof and if things are getting stupid cold, I will use the Alta Arctic Mitts on top of the Markhof for maximum insulation. Whatās amazing is that you retain all camera functionalities thanks to their finger cap system which allow you to poke a few fingers out while keeping the rest of your hands warm! Now we are talking!
Vallerret means quality! And it shows in their choice of fabrics and hardwares they use for their products. The whole kit will probably cost you more than you ever expected spending on a gloves/mitts setupā¦but believe me, they are well worth every dollars spent!
