Pre-ECWCS cold weather gear hits different, and these mittens are some of the most unique pieces of pre-GWOT gear we've seen — The US arctic mitten, a woobie for your hands.
These mittens are an extremely warm two piece system for the coldest mother nature has to throw at you. The main body of the mitten is made with durable deerskin leather, which unlike many leathers can get cold & wet and still dry soft. On the opposite side of the palm is a 100% wool high pile fabric, and the rest of the glove is made with water & wind resistant sateen. The snap-in liner is made with polyester batting, and the iconic "woobie" style quilting.
The gloves feature a "suspension harness" (a really fancy term for an adjustable string) that allows you to hang the gloves on your shoulders during use. This means with liner gloves underneath you can temporarily take these gloves off for extra dexterity and not have to set them on the ground. Additionally, they feature small buckles to snap them together for storage in your top-secret military compound in the Antarctic DO NOT RESEARCH DO NOT RESEARCH DO NOT RESEARCH
