I want to love them. They feel comfortable on my hands, but the fingertip material is peeling like skin after a bad sunburn.

I bought a pair of these in 2021, and thy are still going strong. I am 74 years old and like a bit of comfort. I shoot a lot of local sport during the winter, and these have become my friend each season. and they are very hard wearing. Would thoroughly recommend.

My Vallerret gloves arrived without damage and they are as described in the catalog. They fit well as the bottom layer glove and have a water-proof over-glove.
I have not yet used them in the field but i am planning both Arctic and Antarctic adventures so they will be used in extreme conditions. The only concern that I experienced was whether the finger-tip covers will be sufficiently designed for multiple usage; they appear to be well designed but only time will tell.
ATM, they look to be a good product at a reasonable price.

He my camera gear stolen Along with my valleret hat and gloves liners. This is the only hat I have felt comfy wearing (I dislike hats). So reordering them.

In the past, I had already tested other high-quality gloves like the Skadi, reliable and durable in extreme cold conditions, but the Alta Arctic Mitt by Vallerret have exceeded every expectation, proving to be my best companions for every adventure in polar regions and extreme climates, down to -30°C and beyond.
Why do I love them?
I personally used them during my trips to Iceland, Norway, and Finland, often to operate the drone across incredible landscapes of ice, snow, and mountains. In all these situations, their ability to keep my hands warm and sensitive was essential—especially when I had to control the drone with precision in extreme cold, without risking failure or unbearable cold.
Premium design and materials
These gloves are made with top-quality materials such as neoprene, weather-resistant nylon, and waterproof fabrics, providing excellent protection against wind, water, and snow. Inside, you'll find Thinsulate insulation, renowned for its excellent warmth-to-volume ratio, allowing optimal body temperature retention without sacrificing tactile sensitivity.
Technology that makes the difference
One of their key features is the ability to manipulate cameras, touchscreen displays, and precision equipment without removing them. The thumb and index finger sections are coated with a special fabric, making them so responsive that you can shoot, focus, or change settings even with the gloves on—crucial during long cold-weather photography sessions.
Flexibility and practicality
The shape is designed to offer freedom of movement, with elastic and adjustable cuffs that fit snugly around the wrist, preventing snow or wind infiltration. The high-quality zipper closure makes them easy to put on and take off, while the foldable or retractable hoods protect the hands from extreme cold and perfectly match the rugged, functional aesthetic of the gloves.
Strength and durability
Thanks to robust materials and premium finishes, the Alta Arctic Mitt are highly resistant to wear, perfect for long expeditions and prolonged use in harsh conditions. They are also highly waterproof and resistant to abrasions, ideal for facing snow, ice, and polar environments.
Why do I recommend them?
If you are a photographer, adventurer, or outdoor lover facing extreme cold conditions, these gloves are exactly what you need. Their versatility, ability to keep your hands warm and functional, and enormous reliability in Arctic environments make them a purchase worth every penny.

My delivery was much quicker than I thought it would be. The item was well packed. The sizing was perfect and the quality very high indeed. The t shirt washes well and it will continue to be a favorite of mine for a very long time.

Merino Wool Long Sleeve Tee

Decided to buy Small size based on previous glove purchases of Medium Markhof & Hatchet. According to the size guide, I’ve previously ordered Medium but I’ve found most of the fingers too big (based on tip of middle finger to wrist length).
I decided to buy the Milford to use in the warmer UK weather and as an option to wear under the Skadi mitt.
I plumped for the Small size given the fit of the Medium Hatchet & Markhof and am so pleased I did.
I’ve only used them walking in the UK so far but I can see that having the flap on the middle finger is going to be a great help - I can use middle & index fingers and thumb to operate my camera. Having the option of using either middle finger of index (or both) gives the option of alternating between the 2 fingers in the cold.
I’m hoping to tour Senja next year so will have a better idea of just how useful the Milfords are at that time.
But, for now, they’re definitely worth the purchase and inclusion in my photography (and walking) kitbags

Well fitting warm gloves and easy to use. Used them at minus two centigrade and they were lovely and warm, apart from my the ends of my fingers sticking out. I don't know how they will work at colder temperatures. Very happy with them so far.

Très bonnes microfibres !

Grandes, nettoient bien, pratiques à ranger 👍🏻

À voir au lavage si les couleurs ne se délavent pas trop car dans le pquet il y a des traces d'encres de la microfibre noire et il y a une légère trace sur la microfibre bleu.

Bought these to for a trip to Tromsø, and they were great. I wore them underneath some simple fold-back mitts. I’ve also used them for photography in our garden early in the morning when it’s been cold. Very happy with them.

The liner itself works well in cool conditions - very comfortable in use. In wintery conditions they fit inside the Markof pro, and provides warm dry protection; yet allow access to buttons & wheels, needing only minimal practice to get them functioning accurately. If the finger tips are freed from the Markof they can be tricky to get back inside after shooting. I bought both in XL as per manufacturer suggestions. In retrospect I think a size down in the liner might have been slightly easier in use, but very pleased having just been out on a cold, windy, sleety morning.

Finally found gloves for small hands that fit perfectly!

I love a hat that fits tight to the head. No flapping in strong winds, no movement when climbing around. The core beanie achieves what I want and really happy with the colours. Love it

As is typical in the UK, the week my gloves arrived the weather warmed up! However, there were a couple of cold mornings that needed a car scrape to remove the frost and these gloves kept my fingers toasty warm. So far then no complaints and would recommend.

Top!!! Saved me from grabbing a cold...

Strongly constructed glove; slightly loose fit is beneficial as it allows the use of a liner glove to be worn as well, which makes photography in even the coldest of conditions tolerable.

Good fit under my other Vallerret gloves. As the days have got warmer I have been using them on their own and they work well like that as well.

I eturned the first pair when the seams came apart. THe 2nd pair has been scarcely better and now the seam are not standing up to regular use in their 2nd winter. So sadly I have opted to buy liners elsewhere - traditional ski glove liners. Same price. While I liked the idea, and the outer gloves, the inners are just not good enough. 3* rating is being kind

I now have three layers of Vallerret, liners, gloves and mittens. Whatever the temp my fingers keep working. If you want to photograph in the cold, check these out you can go wrong.

Overall the gloves are very well made and designed plus very comfortable

These gloves are exactly what I needed. I love my Markhof Pro V3, which fit perfectly and always keep my hands warm, but when shooting street photography, I often use my phone— and that’s where the Djuke gloves take things to perfection. I was shooting in Prague on chilly mornings with temperatures around -2°C, and even though they are designed for mild winter, my hands never felt cold.

Their main advantage is that they are so thin that you often don’t even need to use the finger cap removal feature, as you can operate many camera functions while wearing them. And the best part? Although it’s advertised that only the thumb and index finger have a touchscreen-compatible layer, on my iPhone, every single finger works! 😊 And it works flawlessly. Since I use my phone a lot while moving around the city, this is the best feature for me!

Grerat gloves for Photography.Recently tested on a trip to the arctic circle in Norway. .

Bought for a trip to Iceland. I also bought liners to make sure I was warm. These are very well made with a space for hand warmers. Also thumb and forefinger have magnets to ensure the glove tips stay open and out of the way. Grips on palm to ensure good grip of camera. My only comment is that I wish I had had them sooner to break them in. Also having the liner same size as glove meant they felt very tight. Thinking that maybe should have gone up a size in the glove. They did the job though although feeling tight coldest night was -14 c.

I have tried two versions of the Markhof gloves and they only worked around 32° for me, a 75 year old photographer who tries to photograph several times a week during the winter. A liner did help to add some warmth. This winter I decided to give the Skadi Mitts a try and I did get to try them in 5-20° weather. I was able to shoot for an hour each session without freezing fingers! They take some getting used to and I would like to see the zipper portion open more plus bigger thumbholes. I'm happy to be prepared for next winter!
