2026 POW Cascadia GTX Short Mitt + Leather - Black

POW Cascadia GTX Short Mitt + Leather - Black | Goatskin leather meets GORE-TEX Warm

The Cascadia GTX Short Mitt + Leather is everything the Cascadia series is known for — full-season GORE-TEX protection, 3M Thinsulate warmth, Touch liner included — with one meaningful upgrade: a Grade A goatskin leather palm. Leather wears in rather than wearing out, develops grip and character with use, and handles the abuse of a full season on the mountain in a way synthetic materials simply can't replicate. If you're going to invest in one pair of mitts that goes the distance across multiple seasons, leather is where you start.

Key Technical Features

• GORE-TEX + Gore Warm Technology: POW's most thermally capable GORE-TEX insert — engineered to hold warmth for longer in harsh alpine conditions while remaining fully waterproof, windproof, and breathable throughout.
• Grade A Goatskin Leather Palm: Sourced from the world's top tanneries, this water-repellent goatskin palm offers natural grip, premium durability, and a fit that breaks in and conforms to your hand over time — only getting better with each season of use.
• 3M™ Thinsulate™ C150/C100 Multi-Loft Insulation: High-loft insulation on the back of the hand maximises warmth retention; low-profile loft on the palm preserves grip and tactility. Two insulation weights doing exactly what they should, exactly where they should.
• Milky Fibre Touch Liner Included: A warm, touchscreen-compatible liner — usable standalone for milder days or layered inside the shell for maximum cold-weather protection. Index finger and thumb are touch-enabled so you can use your phone or camera without stripping your hands.
• Heat Pocket: A built-in slot for a hand warmer on the days that genuinely need it — the feature you don't think about until temperatures drop and you're glad it's there.
• Over-Cuff / Lofted Fit: Designed to sit over your jacket cuff for total coverage and snow exclusion on deep days. The lofted mitt shape gives your fingers room to move and reduces fatigue through long sessions.
• Pre-Curved Construction: Ergonomically shaped to follow the natural curve of a relaxed hand, reducing grip strain and improving dexterity across a full day of riding.
• Shock Cord Adjuster Closure: Easy one-handed cinch at the wrist — quick to adjust, secure under the cuff, and simpler to manage with cold fingers than a snap or buckle.
• Buff Thumb: Soft material on the thumb for wiping your nose or goggle lens without scratching — the detail you only notice when it's missing.
• Leash Compatible + Made with Recycled Materials: A leash triangle is included for attaching a wrist leash, and recycled materials are used throughout wherever possible.

Why You'll Love Them

The Cascadia + Leather in Black is the all-conditions, all-mountain women's mitt for riders who want something that improves with use rather than degrades. The leather palm is the real point of difference here — if you've only ever used synthetic mitts, you'll notice the grip and the break-in the first day out. Backed by GORE-TEX Warm and a full insulation system, these are a serious investment in seasons of riding. Sizes XS–L.
