Winter handwear is a billion dollar business. Gloves and mittens are so cheap that you can buy a few new pairs every September. Why then should you consider spending $80 or more for a pair of mittens?  Take a look at those same inexpensive imported clones in March. Their frayed seams, abraded palms, and threadbare liners won't last till next fall. Now look behind the truck seat of a farmer or park ranger. You'll find worn leather choppers that match the patina of a splitting maul, or the pilled and fluffy woolen liners who's interiors have adopted the same contours as the hands that wear them every day. We make that type of stuff.

Our True North Mittens are the workaday solution for cold weather pursuits. Their simple and generous shape goes on quickly, then cinches down at the wrists for a secure fit. The Wool blend liners trap heat and manage moisture during times of exertion. The Cotton Canvas and Elk Leather exteriors endure abuse, and repeated cycles of wetting and drying. They'll live on your hands for years of breaking trail, stacking firewood, or handling hot stove tools (or an errant exhaust pipe). 

The True North Expedition Mitten is slightly more robust to suit folks who spend more time in the wilderness. We add a thin layer of recycled polyester to the liners to manage moisture during periods of heavy activity. We also incorporate a single handed cinch cord at the cuffs to make a complete seal against wind and blowing snow. The shells have adjustable and replaceable closures for a perfect fit, and a large panel of Sheepskin to sooth chilly noses and wipe goggles clean. We also include an adjustable quick release harness to keep them handy while your working in the cold.

The Big Mitt has a unique place in the world. The cavernous shape is well suited for use over an inner glove or mitten in those climates where bare skin means lost digits. We build the Cotton Canvas and Elk Leather shells with adjustable and replaceable closures that are easy to operate in cold weather. We also include an adjustable harness so they're always there when you need them. The liners are built from quick- drying synthetic high loft filament and a double layer of recycled polyester pile on the palms and thumb. Each side has a Sheepskin panel to keep your eyes and nose serviceable. The Big Mitt is our solution for folks with big cold jobs to do.
