Psssst....While you were out there sweating in the warm sun, our Field Engineering & Test Department has been playing around with some of our "new" and "prototype test" gear somewhere around the Country?
The clouds were rising from the base of the mountain, soon to engulf and make our Field Engineer vanish in the mist on the way up to the top of the summit...and then...
..."Wait, what's that under the yellow Petzl Climbing Helmet"? Yes, it's one of those new Technical Advantage Gear XWick 3.4TRH Expedition Windblocking Thermal Wicking Massif Climbing Hats. "WOW, they really do fit nice under the helmet and look at the head coverage area that they provide"! "Hey...what about the JACKET that the dude is wearing, your guy's don't show any Hardfaced Abrasion Resistant Thermal Windblocking, Breathable, DWR water repellent, 2 LAYER Jackets, that have an inside shell layer that provides mid-weight synthetic polyester warmth in your product listing? "What Gives"? & "What's the deal with building a 2 Layered Jacket when the "big boys" only build a 1 Layer Soft Shell Jacket in China that sells for an arm and a leg & isn't very warm by itself and the blowing snow sticks and freezes to the outside of many of them because of the texture of the fabric they use"? (Click on the appropriate gear picture & description below and start learning how to stay Warmer - Longer)
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 provide within our website , 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 and also be a better informed buyer instead of just a price shopper. "Compare to any other brand of mitts at any price" Prairie Snowstorm G2 Hardfaced Mitts
The G2's in action on Mt Washington, New Hampshire heading down to Tuckerman Ravine
Available in Sizes: X-Small(Petite & Juniors), Small, Medium & Large The G2 Prairie Snowstorm Mitts are built with technically advanced abrasion resistant thermal windblocking, DWR water repellent, breathable outer shells - a modified 5 layer top & bottom total layering system that also provides a further enhancement for conductive heat loss - an approximate 10% enhancement to the bend flexibility and an increase of approximately 14% to the total length of the mitt allowing it to ride higher up your jacket sleeve. Of course you also gain some extra length in the fingertips and length of the thumb. G2 - Setting the World Standard even Higher for Total Performance at an inexpensive price to you! Click Here for more information XWick 3.6 TRH Expedition Series Glove Over Mitt Shells
Shown above out in the elements
Built with our 3 Layer top & bottom technical layering system, providing outer shell thermal windblocking and abrasion resistance, breathability and DWR water repellency - inner layer added synthetic polyester warmth and superior excellence in moisture wicking & transfer. The combination sets a new standard for thermal warmth in "Glove Over Mitt" Shells at R- 3.6 while still offering exceptional bend flexibility & gripping when worn over your gloves or brand "X" compression mitts, which is facilitated by their one sized generous inner compartment space. Our Glove Over Mitts will keep your fingers warmer - longer on the way to the summit, whether you're wearing thermal gloves or someone elses brand of lightweight puffy mittens underneath them and you'll still have adequate dextarity & enhanced insulating warmth. If you don't want or need all of the insulating properties of our thicker multi-layer Hardfaced Outer Shelled - Extreme Element Arctic Thermal Mitts w/detach straps, then these would be the next best thing for you!
The XWick 3.6 TRH Glove Over Mitt Shells were built for serious expeditioners who continue to demand gear that actually works & performs to a higher standard, but no other gear manufacturer is providing! The Technical Advantage Gear Glove Over Mitt Shells also COMPLETELY seal shut at the top opening end when not in use, so that the snow and/or rain stays out. They also come with multi-purpose heavy duty webbing straps at the top for gripping to open up the top seal, but more importantly one strap on each mitt has a durable plastic buckle so that they can be clipped together around your waist belt so that they are not dangling down at your knees. The critical dimensions on the Over Mitt Shells are as follows: Overall Outer Length - 14 1/2" (369.3mm); Overall Inner Length - 13 1/2" (342.9mm); Hand Opening Area ID - 10.0" (254mm); Mid Hand OD Width Flat - 7.0" (177.8mm); Mid Hand ID Width Flat - 6.0" (152.4mm); Thumb Length ID (base of thumb crotch to inside tip) - 3.5" (88.9mm); Inner Distance from crotch or base of the thumb past the fingertips - 9.0" (228.6mm) and they only weight 11.3 ounces (320.35 g) per pair.

If you have a reason then we probably have something for you to use during that season..
Fall - Winter - Spring and even on those cool wet rainy days of Summer when hiking the Appalachian Trail in New Hampshire, we've got gear that will keep you comfortable & dry. (pictured gear item: XWick 3.4 TRH Expedition Windblocking Thermal Wicking Rear Neck Flap Hat - Shown during the crazy weather Summer of 2009) Below are the Color Code designations for the Technical Advantage Gear referenced under the Products tab on our website. There is also a brief explanation of the general guidelines that we use to determine the specific Gear Series classification:
Learn More About Our Winter Mittens
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:
We Build & Test Gear in the Extremes - For the Extremes - But we also build Gear for the everyday adventures of work or play during the cold and snowy Winter months. For the average person, our "NEW" Prairie Snowstorm Windblocking Thermal Beanie Style Hats will be the "warmest hat for the price" that you head will have the opportunity to wear.
8 Colors to choose from & built with a 2 layer system of technical fabric that always blocks out the wind, where most other brands "don't"
"What Our Customers Say" We receive e-mails from our customers throughout the year with gear questions, positive comments or "words of wisdom" related to our gear and the service we provide. We operate under a "very strict" policy of customer confidentiality and therefore the following comments will not include names, initials, cities, States, Provinces or Countries that we receive them from to insure our customers remain totally anonymous. As with anything in life, the only way that "you" are going to find out that these comments truly reflect our gear and order processing standards of excellence, is to place an order and find out for yourself! The following are just some of comments that we hear: "My neighbors think I'm nuts when I'm out walking the dog in some of the horrific snow & cold we've had this Winter, especially when I'm not out there wearing a heavy parka...they can see your Bridgman hat with the front bill on my head, your neck gaiter and the Prairie mitts on my hands...but little do they know that this weather warm momma starts the process with a pair of your absolutely wonderful new fantastically warm Base Layer tops & bottoms underneath it all....was wondering if I should share this secret with them as well?" "Just wanted to reply back re the mitts I purchased from you. They're increbile! I've been able to go CC skiing comfortably down to temps as low as -30F w/o liners and am now out regularly enjoying skiing regardless of the temps! That is a first for all the years I've lived here" - Fairbanks, Alaska "5 STAR shipping and order processing....you guys really don't sit on it...you shipped it in less than 24 hours time" Started the Winter season thinking if I spent more I'd get more....so I spent $175.00 on some Mountain Hardware Mitts that were absolute junk....subsequently settled in on a pair of your Extreme Hardfaced mitts for under $140 bucks and all I can say is that they're worth every cent and then some....ok they're great! "Love the fact that your company uses the US Postal Service as my gear order showed up on Saturday morning just before I was heading out the door to go up North....excellent!" I found out that with your arctic neck gaiters that I only needed to buy 2 of them for the entire Iditarod, one to wear and one for a back-up which I didn't end up using....it sure saved space and money not having to pack 16 of the cheap fleece face gaiters that always freeze up and sag around my face.....your stuff is the best! "Thanks for answering my questions on the phone concerning your Prairie Mitts. I just got my pair in the mail today and they're so great I'm ordering a pair of these Bad Boys for my wife later today....thanks again!" "At 60 mph plus on my snowmobile your arctic hat kept me super warm and that was also without wearing my helmet either..." "I couldn't believe how much warmer I was while running the dogs on the sled with your drop pad neck gator on....your words are correct....Wow!" "I'm glad I found you on the web....you dog wrist wraps are the cheapest in price by far then any other place I could find....will pass on your name to others" "I didn't actually or totally believe from your website how warm and dry your snowstorm mitts(Prairie Snowstorm) would actually be...but when I did order a pair and used them I couldn't believe that you were actually telling the truth..." "I love the fact that your gear stuff is made in the USA.....it's about time someone starts building good stuff here instead of the "xxxx" from China..." "What more can be said about your Extreme mitts....they are the warmest mitts anywhere and worth the price....also loved the thumb straps on them..." "Bought two of your dog jackets....one in each style and couldn't believe that the coats were going to be of such top quality for the cheap price...and they are so easy to put on my dogs....and once on they stay on...thank you" "...finally someone who is making really warm Winter items for keeping petite sized woman warm when we're out training the dogs in the winter...you don't have everything that fits but your company is making progress instead of just thinking about sizes only for the guys...thanks" "...used some of your gear on my climbing expedition to the Himalaya's last spring, neck gaiter, hat and mitts...perfomance was great...but best of all despite your Extreme Element Mitts being a little bulky due to all of the layers of materials you use to build them with they really did work....last expedition I came down from the summit with 2 black fingers and this time ZERO black fingers in similar weather conditions....these really are the warmest mittens in the world!"

A NOTE TO CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE THE USA We Ship All Orders outside of the USA via USPS Priority Mail International. Orders outside of the USA are subject to additional shipping charges then what is calculated in the shopping cart checkout calculations, in order to cover "all" of the applicable shipping & handling charges associated with each individual order, as our shopping cart shipping charges are based on averages. We do give "shipping rebates" on some orders, especially to Canada when what you are charged and actual processing costs seem out of line to us. So Canadian Customers, don't let the checkout shopping cart shipping & handling charges scare you off, as we'll adjust rates as required. We do advise customers via e-mail when adjustments are required up, before a shipment is made. Customers outside of North America can pretty much be guaranteed that the rates charged at checkout in our Shopping Cart process, will be subject to additional postage charges, which will be requested of you via e-mail, as shipping rates from the USA to Overseas destinations have climbed substantially during 2008 and into 2009. Our business is to get you into wearing great warm outdoor gear, not to make additional profits off of shipping & handling costs. |
