5280 Water Buffalo Leather Mitten - Zipper Vent Top

Almost two years ago we set out to create the best winter mitten available. Our inspiration came from the gloves our founder’s father had for his entire life. Made somewhere in Canada by a company no longer around, they were always known as Dad’s gloves. We used .8 MM thick Water Buffalo for its patina, strength, and unusually tightly packed and interwoven fiber structure. Then we added layer after layer of cutting-edge materials like Hipora ®, Thinsulate ® and PVC coated polyester to achieve an unmatched product.  WARMTH (Shockingly Warm) The first step in a warm glove is the science behind trapping heat. Did you know Polar Bears have hollow hair because it creates pockets of warm air? We did the same thing with our 5MM thick foam layer, Hipora ® and Thinsulate ®. Each of these areas traps more warm air. So where does the warm air come from? It is generated by your own hands and fingers. Mittens are so warm because your own fingers create more head when they are next to each other.
