There's a certain breed of people that just likes cold. You'll find them at high latitudes, high altitudes, and in generally dangerous conditions. They run dog teams, tend trap lines, and keep our most frigid communities and industries going. 

They asked for The Big Mitt, and we delivered. The outer shell is made from the same 10 ounce Cotton Canvas and Elk Leather as our smaller True North Mittens, but that's where the similarity ends. The very shape and size of this pair is meant to work over another piece of hand wear for those temperatures where you don't expose your bare skin. We build the shells with enough girth at the cuffs so you can cork a parka sleeve into them. The 1" webbing straps at the wrists and cuffs have grab loops that make them easy to operate in cold temperatures. Large Sheepskin panels cover the entire hand, offering a way to wipe snot, reduce wind chill on your fingers, and scrub ice from instrument panels and eyewear.

Since absolute performance is key in nasty temps, we've built liners from a mix of synthetics. The rear panel and lower gauntlet are a sandwich of high loft polyester filament and rip stop nylon. It slips easily over other gloves or mittens, then traps heat like a sleeping bag. The palms are made from back to back layers of  recycled polyester pile for enhanced dexterity and crush resistance. We stitch a small loop inside the tips so you can turn the liners inside out to dry. They snap securely into place at the cuffs.

The Big Mitt comes with an adjustable shoulder harness to keep them on your person. We've added a  buckle to the side seams so you can clip them behind your back, and a matched set of snaps to close the cuffs against snow when you're not wearing them.

Colors: Black or Natural 10 ounce domestic Cotton Canvas. Domestic Elk leather, and imported sheepskin. Leather and sheepskin colors will coordinate with shell fabric. Liners: 80% Polyester filament, 15% Polyester pile, and 5% Nylon.  Available in Small/Medium or Large/XL. Sized to fit over working gloves or mittens.
