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 frigid communities and
industries going. They asked for
The Big Mitt, and we delivered. The outer shell is made
from the same 12 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 handwear
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, add put some bulk between your
fingers and the wind on your snow machine, or scrub ice from
instrument panels and eyewear. The
left mitten has a zippered pocket with room for gear, and
the right side has a flapped closure with slots for tools. Since absolute
performance is key in nasty temps, we've built The Big Liners
from a mix of high performance 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 dual 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 small side release buckle to
the side seams so you can clip them behind your back when
they're not needed. Every pair ships with an extra wrist strap. Colors:
Black 12 ounce Cotton Canvas with Tobacco Elk Leather. Liners:
80% Polyester filament, 15% Polyester pile, and 5% Nylon.
Available in Small/Medium or Large/XL.
