Rabbitskin Mitts

Rabbitskin Mitts is a Hands item in The Long Dark. It adds 2°C warmth and 2°C windproofing. Waterproofing is 50%. It weighs 1 kg.

Within the Hands slot its 2°C warmth ranks #1 of 13 entries here — the warmest for that layer.

At 2°C per kg its warmth-to-weight ratio ranks #44 of 100 clothing items with both values recorded — a middling ratio.

Its 3% protection is a small edge in a predator struggle, though mobility and warmth matter more in most runs.

Note the 5% mobility penalty — it slows you slightly, so a lighter inner layer can be the better trade when you are carrying a heavy load.

Crafting notes: it repairs with 1 × Cured Rabbit Pelt; 1 × Cured Gut; 30 minutes; 30% condition and harvests into 1 × Cured Rabbit Pelt; 10 minutes.

Verdict: Overall Rabbitskin Mitts is the warmest Hands option catalogued here, best reserved for cold-weather loadouts where the mobility hit is affordable.
