Waterproof over mittens UK Surplus shells

[Moondog55]

I hate having cold hands but even more I hate having cold wet soggy gloves. I was using OR Mt Baker shells but those are no longer available
I may have found a cheaper solution for my own needs and it may suit some of you as well.
I have ordered a set of British army MVP over mittens and they arrived yesterday.
The Brits have changed camouflage patterns and much of the old gear is now surplus.
The MVP is a Goretex analogue and these shells are a single layer of fabric with silicon grip dots on the palm and inner thumb, and a quite simple design with no anatomical curve but some shaping on the thumb section.
I ordered a Large set and I was worried that they would be on the small side as I usually wear Large to Extra Large gloves.
These fit over my XL OR HighCamp trigger finger gloves, over my old school XL Kombi gloves and over my home made mitten liners.
The fit is larger than the OR Latitude shell but smaller than the OR Mt Baker shell. I'd not wear them high up on Everest or Denali tho
They cost less than $10- by a cent and the postage cost double that but for $30- they will do
They were here within a fortnite but tracking didn't work once they left the UK
