These leather mitts are designed with a fingerless shell pattern that reduces the amount of surface area exposed to the cold and helps retain heat across your entire hand. They're made from premium-grain buffalo with excellent abrasion and puncture resistance and natural elasticity that provides a soft, form-fitting and comfortable fit. The water-blocking aquaHIDE additive repels water to keep your hands dry, while high-performance Heatkeep thermal insulation delivers superior heat-retention, repels the cold and wicks away moisture. A pocket on back of hand accepts a heat pack (not included) for additional warmth when the temperature plummets.
