Information is the Key to Making an Intelligent Purchasing Decision....Are You Ready to Learn Something New?

If you're looking to purchase some Winter Gear that is actually built to work, has a story to tell about why it is better and what it has to offer and you finally want to truly "get what you paid for",  then our Technical Advantage Gear is for you!

Customers from around the World that buy our gear do so for several reasons.  First they can't find anything  like it "anywhere" and that's usually because we build our gear in layers, which means that there is more technical raw material going into the product to start with.  Second, they come here because they appreciate all of the various types of technical information that we make available and third because when they have analyzed all of the information that we have shared, they can easily make a determination that what they are buying from us is actually "a great value" in terms of what we put into our products like raw material stock and the differences in dimensions versus the "status quo" in the global market place.  Finally they become repeat customers after their first product shipment has arrived, they open up the box and the first words out of their mouth is usually "WOW I really did get what I paid for"!

We invite you to become one of our customers and as we coin the phase....are you ready to learn something "new"?

Below are our "New" color code designations for the Technical Advantage Gear referenced under the Products tab on the website.  There is also a brief explanation of the general guidelines that we use to determine the specific Gear Series classification:

Prairie Snowstorm Gear Series:

Gear in this series is built for customers where normal Winter temperatures are generally around +35 F to +50 F and anything between 0 F to +25 F is considered freezing cold.

Arctic Thermal Gear Series:

Gear in this series is built for people who are always cold at any temperature, but especially for those who live for Winter and don't think it's cold outside until the thermometer dips below -15 F.

Other Gear Items:

Items classified as "Other Gear" are generally going to be non-clothing types of items.  They will still be built to be the "best" on the market, but may encompass various product themes.

Closeout Gear Items:

Items in this classification are items that we will be discontinuing and have discounted to a lowest rock bottom price to deplete current inventory on hand.

 


In the World of Outdoor Technical Gear & Accessories, it's not always easy to find a resource that provides you with a lot of technical information in one location and at the same time tries to help you understand the importance of the information before you make your purchasing decision, is it?  If you spend some time browsing & reading the information that we have provided , we are confident that you will leave with a better perspective of what to look for before you make you next Cold Weather Gear purchase.


The Technical Advantage Gear & Accessories that wear our logo's, are all sewn one at a time in our Wisconsin workshop.  We manufacture all of our technical outdoor clothing and garments with the finest quality domestically USA produced synthetic polyester fabrics, most of which already meet or exceed US Military specifications.  We engineer and manufacture our products to be the "best" you can find for their intended application and they only become the best by utilizing the correct combination of  high quality fabrics and raw materials that we purchase.  We also do an extensive amount of Field Testing on many of our products, before we make them available for sale.  Read More>>>


Technical Advantage Gear is designed to keep you warm, regardless of what activity is responsible for bringing you outdoors during the Winter months.  Just as easy as our gear can also be worn for snow skiing, snow shoeing, ice fishing, hunting, camping and hiking, it will also surprise those who have to work outdoor's for a living on how much warmer they will feel with our gear on during the cold Winter months.  How about the warmest non-bulky Winter Hat that you've ever worn, or the warmest windblocking thermal Winter neck gaiter's that you've ever had around your neck?  See our Products.....


At the core of our business is our Technical Advantage Thermal Winter Mitts, which we make available in a couple of different designs:

Our designs don't run in harmony with how the "status quo" mitts are designed, because are mitts are built to "work"!  In order for a mitt to truly work properly in keeping your hands warmer - longer, the correct amount of insulation needs to be put in the proper place during the construction of the actual mitt.  When you build a Winter Mitt correctly like we do, then you end up with 2-3 times the Thermal Insulation Value on the top half of the mitt and 3-5 times the Thermal Insulation Value on the bottom half of the mitt versus the "status quo" mitts sold in the market place.   Read about the differences in the construction of Winter mitts below:


If you enjoy logging time out on your bike during the Spring, Summer & Fall seasons of the year and are looking for something different to do this riding season, then why not check out our friends at Spree Touring.  They offer some of the toughest one day challenge rides in the Midwest, but we think their new Cabin-to-Cabin Self Guided Bicycle Tours would be a real treat for someone wanting to visit Wisconsin for the first time from around the USA, or for the rest of you living around the Globe.  Just click on the logo below to be re-directed to their website for more information:

Important Information

Some customer love PayPal and have had no problems using them with their Internet shopping experiences.

A small handful of customers that buy from us have had some type of issue with PayPal in the past and really don't want to use them any more.

Further, there are some new customers to the Internet shopping experience who don't want to register with PayPal to become one of our customers or anyone else's that show the PayPal logo's.

The nice thing with PayPal is that you "do not" have to register with them ahead of time any longer in order to use your credit card.  You will still see PayPal during the Checkout process and order confirmation because we use them for our Shopping Card checkout process and for being able to transact business with Credit Cards.  Since we started using PayPal, "ZERO" of our customers have had any problems in any transactions with Technical Advantage Gear.  The checkout process is totally seamless with non-verified PayPal customers using the credit card brands that we show are acceptable.

If you still don't want to use a credit card, then we accept Money Orders as well...
