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:

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.  The recommended temperature range for this gear averages from +30F to -40F.

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.  The recommended temperature range for this gear averages from +10F to -100F.

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.

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...and did we mention that you also get a FREE abrasion resistant special Beanie Hat Gear Carrying Bag with the purchase of each Beanie Hat?  Don't leave home without one!

"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:

"I placed my internet order with you after the kids were in bed for the night, some time after 9 PM and couldn't believe the e-mail you sent me the next morning saying my order was shipping later that same day"

"5 STAR shipping and order processing....you guys really don't sit on it...you shipped it in less than 24 hours time"

"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!"

"You people are so honest....after placing my first order I move from XXX to XXX (countries in Europe) so I never get my first order and just say so what...but 2 month later you people track me down with e-mail when you get shipment back from my Country and then you ship it to my new address...thank you for not keeping my money and the return product that I did not get first time...the product you make is best..."

"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"
