These M50 Mittens have a distinct advantage when it comes to warmth. By allowing your fingers to huddle together, mittens create a microclimate within the glove, trapping body heat and providing superior insulation. This is especially beneficial in extreme cold conditions or for individuals who are more prone to cold hands. The insulating properties of leather keep your hands warm and dry, while the sturdy material shields them from the harsh elements. Leather is also naturally water-resistant, which makes it a practical choice for outdoor activities. Leather is durable, last longer and offers good natural grip. On the back of the thumb there is a soft, suede nose wiper patch. The mittens contain XTREME THINSULATE, considered "the warmest thin apparel insulation" available. This loose-fill insulation mimics natural feathers when dry, and, when wet, preserves warmth better than down. Wrist straps and cuff drawstrings, designed to be used with the mittens on, preventing warm air from escaping while securing mittens in place. Reflective strips on the back of the mittens keep you safe and visible cos it’s dark during Arctic Winters.
