Ultimittens Golf Cart Mittens Review

Grade: A
Teacher’s Comments: An essential piece of winter golfing equipment.

I’ve got just one thing to say about Ultimittens: Brilliant!

ProActive Sports’ Ultimittens are a set of heavy duty, waterproof, windproof mittens designed to attach to the handle of a golf push cart. In between shots, as you push your cart about, you just slip your hands into the Ultimittens where they stay comfortably warm. Even better: there are pockets on the mitts for those ubiquitous chemical handwarmer packages.

I used a pair of Ultimittens on an early January round at Fox Hills in Plymouth, Michigan. Like most courses open in the winter in Michigan, it’s walking only. So all of those propane heaters, zip up plastic covers and the like designed for power carts are about as useless as a liberal in a gunfight.

Nearly all of the brave souls on the course that day were pushing or pulling a cart. But I was the only one with Ultimittens. They were brave, but foolish. If you are playing in the cold, you NEED Ultimittens.
