Designed for expeditions, the Shell Pro Full-Leather Mitten from The Heat Company, in size 11, is their warmest outer shell and provides the greatest protection and heat retention to keep vulnerable hands and fingers warm and protected from the harshest elements.

Constructed from tough but soft and supple goatskin leather, these mittens are lined with warm and comfortable Primaloft Gold insulation. When you need to use your fingers to operate a camera, access your phone, check your stats on a sport watch, or perform any one of a thousand tasks, simply fold back the finger's mitten flap to expose your digits. A magnetic clasp keeps the flap out of your way, so it won't interfere with what you're doing. For added protection without sacrificing dexterity, layer the mittens over a pair of available liners.

There's an adjustable cinch at the wrist and extra-long closing cuffs that stay in-place on your forearm to keep snow out. You can slip a disposable hand warmer into the small zippered pocket on the back of the hand or use it to stow other small accessories like credit cards and IDs. Thanks to the leash and elastic wrist strap, you won't lose the gloves if you need to pull off the whole mitten. A container of Heat Leather Balm is provided to keep the leather soft and supple.

The size 11 mitten fits hands 9.6-10.3", measured around the palm of your dominant hand just below the knuckles. The Heat Company recommends sizing up if you are in between sizes.

Q: 6. Screw versus lever release - comparing durability, security, and ease of use. Wondering which bh-40 to get. I've only had lever release heads before and while theoretically they're quick release, I've had them "stick" on me. As I'm getting this head for my heaviest, most expensive gear, I'm in some ways more interested in what clamp style keeps that gear from falling OFF the head than in being able to get the gear off the head fast. Any thoughts from experienced users who have used both clamp types?

A: While I have only examined and not used these outstandingly designed and manufactured ball heads, the fact is I was a motion picture camera assistant who mounted $500,000 movie cameras in precarious positions, and therefore I do have an opinion. The knob/lever decision comes down to exactly the point you elucidate, to wit: security vs. convenience. If you require 100% security assurance, get the knob. If you can live with 99% assurance, get the lever.

Q: 7. Can this be used with the base plate that works with the BH-55 head? I am considering the BH-30 to use on a travel tripod.

A: Yes the same base plate will work for both!

Q: 8. I am new to tripods and ballheads. With the BH-40 do I need to purchase a quick release plate? Will RRS BA72 plate fit on BH-40?I'm kind of bummed out that there is no info on this website about compatible plates.
