Specialied airtool mini7/25/2023 ![]() ![]() When you’re not using them, the Torrid Mitts pack down small to fit just about anywhere in your pack. The gauntlet cuff features a thin shock cord and cordlock to secure the Torrid Mitts on your hands and lock out cold wind and snow. The mitten palm is constructed with durable 70D ripstop nylon, and the outer fabric is ultralight 20D ripstop nylon with a water repellent finish. It’s also easy to wash your synthetic mittens of dirt, sweat, and oil. Built using our ultralight fabrics and continuous filament CLIMASHIELD™ APEX synthetic insulation, the Torrid Mitts boast packable warmth and great all-weather performance. When you need to keep your hands warm in the cold, look no further than the Torrid Mitts. I’d not hesitate to recommend these to anyone. But that is the price you pay for ultralight. The only downside I can see is that the thumb lining goes inside out almost every time you them off. I am a medium in most gloves and these fit great for me in a medium. These weigh next to nothing and take up very little room in your pack. And after many days with these on the grips of the handlebar or trekking poles they show no signs of wear. There is a small elastic cord to tighten the cuff. Specialized Airtool Switch Comp mini-pump review Manufacturer: Specialized Price as reviewed: 22.00 TAGS: Top Story In terms of construction, the Specialized Airtool Switch Comp is very similar to the Park Tool PMP 4.2, one of the better, if not the best mini-pumps on the market. These are ultralight, meaning they do not have a fancy reinforced grip on the palms, no d-rings or other things, these are to the point light weight mitts. It's much smaller in size but efficient, and it looks great but it's not the most comfortable to use. Do you need something for those first few hours in camp and when you you start out hiking? These work great in that scenario. The Specialized Air Tool Road is a nod to the traditional frame pump that you always used to see sitting under the top tube or against the seat tube of road bikes in years gone by. These are super warm even ignoring the size, they’ve kept my hands toasty down to the mid 20s. But read more for why you should get these ultralight mittens. I don’t know where I am going with this analogy. But for shoulder season bike packing and backpacking the Enlightened Equipment Torrid Mittens are pretty great and there is no pea in the glove. Am I a bit like the princess and the pea with gloves? Sure. ![]()
