Are "you" tired of not being able to find any Cold Weather Winter Gear that actually keeps you warm and dry when you're working in the outdoor elements for 8, 10 or even 12 hours at a time? Are you tired of having to pull you hood over your head because your hat is not keeping your head warm, or sick of the neck gaiter pulled up over your face that is a pile of frozen mush and also is doing a poor job of blocking the biting winds from your face, or how about that umteenth pair of new Winter mittens that you've purchased that felt warm in the store, cost you more money because of the loged name sewn on the outside of them, but still left you with frozen fingers after a short period of time outside in the real temperatures of Winter, or in the case of Antarctica workers, the non-tropical working temperatures of the Summer season...if you answered "YES" to these questions, then read the following:
"OUTDOOR WORKING WORLD GEAR NEWSFLASH"
....finally a website business that builds all of their own gear in the USA and remarkably their cold weather Winter gear actually provides the thermal warmth and wind blocking protection that most others don't offer....their gear is designed and built using layering systems of technical fabrics like synthetic polyesters, which are the warmest & most dynamic materials for keeping the end user's warm and dry...they offer many unique designs within their product range and their standard looking designs provide 2X's, 3X's or more of actual square inches of technically advanced insulating materials to insure that they actually work for keeping you warm when you're out working in the arctic cold temperatures and howling frost bite winds of Winter....they offer gear for varying outdoor Winter windchilled temperature ranges, some to -40F(-40C), some to -60F(-51C), some to -80F(-62F) and some to -100F(-73C) and all of it is built with their exclusive technical fabric layering system that provides insulating warmth, superior thermal wind blocking, breathability and DWR water repellency on the outer shell layers and on top of that, certain gear items have been designed with additional exceptional World Standards for moisture wicking and transfer capacity while also offering enhanced abrasion resistance on the outer shell layers...and finally a business that tests their products "outside" in the actual elements before making them available for sale to the end user, with much of the testing being 24/7 for periods of two weeks at a time in varying temperatures to -100+F(-73+C)....imagine that, field tested performance......
....Quality Outdoor Gear Made in America - USA
Sample some of the tough, durable, warm, insulating, wind blocking, thermal, cold weather clothing gear accessories that work in the outdoor arctic extreme temperatures of Winter and are built to keep the workers of the World warmer while they're outside working in the elements to earn a paycheck:
Recommended Wearable Temperature Ranges: +30F(-1C) to -30F(-34C)

(Shown in Construction Site Picture: Prairie Snowstorm G2 Mitts - Prairie Snowstorm Beanie Style Hat in Red & Black)
Prairie Snowstorm Mitts Standard or Prairie Snowstorm Mitts w/Detachable Handlebar Straps:
Prices Starting as Low as: $84.99 a pair
- OUR's: These mitts provide a whopping thermal R-value of insulation of R-7.15 on both the top & bottom sides of the mitts, are built with 10 Total Layers of technical fabrics, 5 top & 5 bottom, have a 100% thermal windblocking outer shell layer that is also breathable and DWR water repellent, a secondary inner layer to the outer shell that kicks out another 95% of thermal windblocking protection and DWR water repellency, followed by 2 more inner layers of special thermal insulation, bringing you to the inner layer that surrounds the hand that provides "supreme" & "excellence" in thermal wicking and moisture transfer(see our top/bottom layering system above). Available in configurations with or without detachable handlebar object locking straps.
- THE COMPETITION: Built thicker on the top side of the mitt and usually only 25% to 30% as thick on the bottom side under the hand. Outer shells are generally nylon based material which provides "zero" thermal warmth and most nylon materials provide only marginal windblocking protection. The inner layer surrounding the hands generally provides extremely poor moisture wicking and minimal additional thermal insulating warmth with a usual average thermal insulation value of R-3.0 on the top side and R-1.5 to R-2.0 on the bottom side. Cut your current mitts apart and you'll probably see something like this on the inside of other mitts:

Now you know why your fingers are always frozen!
Recommended Wearable Temperature Ranges: +32F(0C) to -40F(-40C)


(Shown in Construction Site Picture: Prairie Snowstorm Windblocking Thermal Stocking Hat in Black)
Prairie Snowstorm Windblocking Thermal Stocking & Beanie Style Hats:
Prices Starting as Low as: $26.99 each
- OUR's: These hats are all built using a 2 Layer technical fabric system, with the outer shell layers providing 95% to 100% thermal windblocking protection depending on the specific hat, moisture vapor breathability, DWR water repellency and the inner layer provides additional midweight thermal warmth. The average one of these hats kicks out a thermal insulation value of R-2.5 or slightly better.
- THE COMPETITION: Most competitive hats in this class are generally a (1) one layer knit or woven style configuration, provide average to poor windblocking protection due to the generous stretch that they have, may or may not be DWR water repellent and also have average to poor thermal values due to the head heat that escapes when stretched to fit your head due to the pourous woven configuration and finish. Logoed brands like North Face and others in this class generally retail for $35.00 to $39.99 per hat.
Roughneck HHL 2.5 - Thermal Windblocking Hardfaced Abrasion Resistant Liner Hat:
As Low as: $37.95 each

- OUR's: We built these hats special for those working warriors who have to face the elements of the cold punishing weather that occurs during the late Fall, Winter and during the early Spring months of the year, while you're outside earning a paycheck. It's made to work with or without a Hard Hat and it is designed to work better then anything that you have tried or used in the past. The outer shell provides a minimum of 95% Thermal Windblocking protection, has exceptional Abrasion Resistance as provide by its Hardfaced finish, offers adequate vapor moisture breathability and is also DWR treated for providing excellent Water Repellency. The upper crown area of the hat, starting at about the top tips of the ears, has a special insulating 0.50 or half layer that has been added to ensure that the top half of your head stays warm, thereby regulating the heat out to the rest of the lower head, ears and face. The inner most layer that surrounds the head and face is made from a heavyweight synthetic polyester that provides excellent thermal warmth, that you'll especially want to have as the winds pick up and the temperatures continue to drop. We also provide full rear neck coverage in the back of the hat and the side wing flaps also fully secure underneath the chin with their 1 inch wide heavy duty hook & loop sewn in fastening strips. The hats are also finished off in the back with a wide section of highly reflective stretch elastic for better visibility. The thermal insulation value on these hats rate at about an R-2.4 on the lower half and in the upper crown area with the 0.50 insert, the R-value jumps to about an R-4.4, which if use as a Hard Hat Liner places this one at the top of the list as the Liner Hat that provides that "best asset value" for any price range!
- THE COMPETITION: The standard hard hat liner that we see in the stores or on the internet, sell either based on not having any other choices to choose from, or because they are made in China and sell for less then 10 bucks. Most that we reviewed have a nylon shell, smooth or quilted finish, however the nylon material offers "zero" in terms of thermal value and also does a fairly poor job of providing windblocking protection. They should however, if it has been DWR treated, be water repellent to moisture. The inner layer of the hats that we reviewed, were either some type of foam quilted fabric or some type of a cheap Chinese fleece material. At best from what we could estimate, these helmet liners may offer a thermal insulation value of perhaps an R-1.0 or less. The securing strap under the chin is usually a flimsy piece of elastic, but some do have a slightly better fastening system. Because of the pattern cut and securing system under the chin, most of the units we review ed did a poor job of keeping the back of the neck warm and free of drafts, let alone doing a very good job in keeping the entire head warm. We know that there are some other variations of helmet liners in use, such as the face pullover type, that are made with a combination of polyester & spandex material, however they "don't" appear to offer much of anything in terms of "thermal windblocking protection" and we doubt if they are even close to the warmth, thermal insulation values, the total "asset values" that we offer with our Roughneck HHL 2.5 Hats? Further, the "pullover type" helmet liners that give you the option of covering your face or not also "do not" have a thermal windblocking membrane incorporated into the outer fabric material, therefore you breath moisture is going to build up on the inside next to the mouth and on through the fabric in front of the mouth area causing it to freeze solid on sub-zero working days outside. The occurance is what we call "frozen mush face". The best solution and investment is to pair one of our Roughneck HHL 2.5 Hats with anyone of our straight or drop pad neck gaiters, as all of our neck gaiters are thermal windblocking, built from at least 2 layers of technical fabric and they will never allow the "frozen mush face" syndrome to ever occur. As well, they will do the ultimate job in keeping you warmer-longer and you can pull them up and down on your face as you need them from wind biting protection, you can turn them around you head when you need a new inner dry spot around the nose/mouth and your head and face will not have that trapped feeling that you get from wearing a single hat/gaiter combination.
Recommended Wearable Temperature Ranges: +32F(0C) to -50F(-45C)

Prairie Snowstorm Windblocking Thermal Straight Neck Gaiters:
As Low as: $19.50 each
- OUR's: These straight neck gaiter are built with a 2 Layer technical fabric system, with the outer shell layer providing 100% thermal windblocking protection , breathability, DWR water repellency and the inner layer provides additional midweight thermal warmth. These neck gaiters kick out a thermal insulation value of R-2.5 and are also 1"(one inch) taller then most other straight neck gaiters sold, so they give you the absolute greatest coverage on your face. They are configured in a One Size Fits Most and you will NEVER HAVE FROZEN MUSH FACE caused by your breath moisture as you do with almost every other competitive brand and you will always be breathing in warm air because it is not being sucked through the fabric layers.
- THE COMPETITION: Most other straight neck gaiters are sold on the basis of a cheap price, $5.00, $10.00, $15.00 and so forth. They generally consist of 1 Layer of a cheap imported fleece fabric, which provides zero to minimal windblocking protection, are not DWR water repellent treated and when you breath the COLD AIR through the fabric and into your lungs, your breath moisture will end up freezing into the fabric causing it to sag down on your face and become a frozen pile of mush. These neck gaiter may initally provide a thermal insulation value of about R-1.0 to R-1.2 when you're first going out the door, but once the wind starts blowing and your breath moisture starts getting into them, it rapidly degrades to a very minimal or non-existant insulation or warmth factor.
Recommended WearableTemperature Ranges: +32F(0C) to -60F(-51C)


(Shown in Construction Site Picture: XWick 3.4 TRH Expedition Windblocking Thermal Wicking Rear Neck Flap Hat - XWick 3.4 TRH Windblocking Thermal Wicking Straight Neck Gaiter)
XWick 3.4 TRH Expedition Windblocking Thermal Wicking Rear Neck Flap Hat
"A Global Revolution in Warmth - Heat Control & Moisture Wicking Transfer"
As Low as: $38.99 each
- OUR's: These Hats are totally unique by design and are built with using a very ingenious 3 Layer technical fabric system. The outer shell layer is a thermal 95% windblocking - soft to the touch Hardfaced fabric material - that also is highly breathable and is DWR water repellent. The hardfaced fabric finish provides excellence in abrasion and "pick" resistance, so snags or tears are minimized. The inner layer provides a midweight layer of synthetic polyester insulating warmth and the third or inner most thin layer provide additional thermal warmth and superior - excellence in moisture wicking and transfer of sweat. Although this hat kicks out an attractive thermal insulation value of R-3.4, the layering configuration and technical materials selected and used allow it to moderate the heat given off by your head, which allows your head to stay warm but not become excessively hot under strenuous exertion.
- This hat also comes with a built in rear flap that is especially designed to keep the wind, rain or snow off of the back of your neck. It can we worn outside of your jacket collar or tucked in depending on your preference and weather conditions. It also comes with a safety loc strap or goggle or head lamp straps and has a sewn on highly reflective patch for better visability at night. The front inside of the hat features a small "turbo flap" that folds up or down and when folded down provides additional warmth and windblocking protection to the forehead. We know of no other hat in the World that compares to this hat and it would be excellent out on the job sight helping your to stay warmer and dryer.
- THE COMPETITION: We know of nothing in the World that compares.

XWick 3.6TRH Expediton Windblocking Thermal Abrasion Resistant Glove Over Mitt Shells:
As Low as: $130.95 each
- OUR's: The design and engineering of Glove Over Mitt Shells provides for a 3 Layer total technical fabric system. 3 on top and 3 on bottom, that is designed to provide thermal wind blocking protection, abrasion resistance, breathability, water repellency, inner layer moisture wicking, moderate additional warmth when pulled over the users gloves and a good level of bend flexibility and hand gripping when being worn. The Glove Over Mitt units also provide an approximate thermal R-value of insulation of R-3.6 for both top and bottom sides of the shells. 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. These are an excellent option when your hands need to be working in gloves for the dextarity on an outside job in the sub-zero temperatures, but you also have the period's on the project when you need the extra warmth and the total dextarity is not being required, therefore allowing you the opportunity to slide your glove hand inside of the Over Mitt Shells to warm up and be better protected from the biting winds and temperature extremes out on the job site.
- THE COMPETITION: We do not know of any other Brand Manufacturer that makes or has made for them, anything that even remotely compares to these units. Sure you can probably find a single or double layered over mitt to stuff you gloved hands into, but they will not come close to doing what the Technical Advantage Glove Over Mitt Shells have to offer in terms of "total asset value". When it comes to "your" working fingers & hands, we give you the niche options of "warmth tools" that are built to actually work. The philosophy carries on and over everything that we make ourselves as well here in Wisconsin - USA as well, because if we don't think that it is the "best in the World", then we wouldn't make it available for sale to you!

Extreme Element Arctic Thermal Mitts "Hardfaced Outer Shell":
Prices Starting as Low as: $189.95 a pair
- OUR's: These jumbo size mitts are designed for the user that wants powerful "true warmth" in a mitten and needs extra internal compartment space so that he/she can still slide their hand inside of them while wearing a light protective glove on their hands, when better finger dextarity is required on the job, yet the hand needs the glove protection from getting frost bite. These mitts feature a 12 Layer technical fabric system, 6 top/6 bottom to again ensure that all of the forces of nature are mimimized, especially conductive and convective heat loss. The outer shell layer is Hardfaced for extra abrasion resistance and at the same time also provides 95% plus thermal windblocking protection, breathabilty and DWR water repellency. The other internal technical fabric layers all provide superior thermal insulating warmth, while "eliminating" the dead air space {that puffy mittens are known for which inturn magnifies the cooling effect} and the inner most layer that surrounds your hand in our mitts provides superior - excellence in thermal moisture wicking and transfer.
- These specific mitts kick out a total top and bottom side thermal insulation value each of R-9.3, which is only 2nd(second) in the WORLD in Total Insulation Warmth to OUR OWN mitts that are listed in the -100F(-73F) category below.
- THE COMPETITION: Usually built thicker on the top side of the mitt and only 25% to 30% as thick on the bottom side under the hand. Outer shells are generally nylon based material which provides "zero" thermal warmth and most nylon materials provide only marginal windblocking protection. The inner layer surrounding the hands generally provides extremely poor moisture wicking and minimal additional thermal insulating warmth and average thermal insulation values of R-3.5 to 4.0 on the top side and R-1.5 to R-3.0 on the bottom side. On ocassion you will run into a mitt that offers equalized top and bottom thickness that is required to truely have Winter mitts that have a chance at eliminating conductive heat loss, but when you cut them apart you might be surprised as to what is inside of them and why they really don't do a good job in keeping your hands warm and dry under extreme cold weather Winter conditions. SEE FOR YOURSELF:

Amazing what you find when you cut competitors mittens apart!
Recommended Wearable Temperature Ranges: +10F(-12C) to -80F(-62C)

Windblocking Arctic Thermal Hat:
"The Warmest Hat in the World"
Prices Starting as Low as: $44.99 each
- OUR's: "THIS IS" the warmest beanie style Winter Hat that exists in the World, bar none! It is designed with a 4 Layer technical fabric layering system and it packs and kicks out a whopping variable thermal insulation value of R-3.75 around the bottom 60% of the hat and an incredible R-7.50 on the top 40% or crown area. This hat knocks down 100% of the biting winds, is breathable and DWR water repellent with its outer shell and the inner layers provide the heat to keep you head warm in any outdoor fridged condition that your body can tolerate. The inner most layer provides superior moisture wicking, however if you're wearing one of these hats at temperatures above 0F and doing moderate to heavy physical exertion, your head is going to sweat. If you're in more of a sedintary position, such as operating heavy equipment in the fridged cold air temperatures below +10F(-12C), then the hat should not generate as much excessive heat. Now, when your job requires you to be outside on the job working hard in temperatures driving past -20F, -40F, -60F+, then this hat is totally incredible for keeping you head warm, but not hot at those temperatures. The hat can also be adjusted for tightness once on the head, with its built in pull-tight shock cord and cord loc system. This hat will never blow off your head in any wind condition!
- THE COMPETITION: People make due with want ever they stick on their head, including pulling the hood up, however we know of nothing in the World that even comes close to the total warmth and wind protection of the hat mentioned above!

XWick 3.4 TRH Expedition Windblocking Thermal Wicking Straight Neck Gaiter & XWick 3.4 TRH Expedition 1.4 Windblocking Thermal Wicking Drop Pad Neck Gaiter:
"A Global Revolution in Warmth - Heat Control & Moisture Wicking Transfer"
Prices Starting as Low as: $28.99 each & $46.99 each
- OUR's: These two different styles of neck gaiters, straight and front drop pad w/40% rear drop pad, are again unique and innovative designs. They are both built with a 3 Layer technical fabric system. The outer shell layer is a thermal 95% windblocking - soft to the touch Hardfaced fabric material - that also is highly breathable and DWR water repellent. The hardfaced fabric finish provides excellence in abrasion and "pick" resistance, so snags or tears are minimized. The inner layer provides a midweight layer of synthetic polyester insulating warmth and the third or inner most thin layer provides additional thermal warmth and superior - excellence in moisture wicking and transfer of sweat. Although these gaiters kick out an attractive thermal insulation value of R-3.4, the layering configuration and technical materials selected and used allow it to moderate the heat build up from the body. The "exclusively designed" 1.4 Drop Pad gaiter protects and keeps the upper crest core warm and the 40% rear drop pad seals out the cold wind drafts on the neck. Both of these neck gaiter designs were developed for users that work under moderate to high exertion levels that require better regulation of the heat generated from the body. Each one of these two neck gaiter styles come with top edge built in shock cording with cord loc's, so that you can maintain & secure the top edge of these neck gaiters in any position on your face. Again, no FROZEN MUSH FACE EVER when you use either one of these unique units and you always are breathing in warm air!
- THE COMPETITION: Nothing in the World compares...

(Shown in the Picture: Our WindTherm Base Layer Tops & Front and Rear sides of the bottoms. Please note the Black colored "Thermal Windblocking" - DWR Water Repellent Inserts that we sewn into the base long underwear technical materials that we use for these items.
"A Global Revolution in Warmth - Heat Control, Moisture Wicking Transfer & Strategically Placed WindBlocking Protection"
Prices Starting as Low as: $75.00 each for a Top or Bottom
- OUR's: We build blended sizes for our women customers and our version of how sizing should be done for American mens bodies as well. Our Wind Therm Base Layer System provides you with the regulated warmth that you demand, but does so without the physical weight and bulk that is a characteristic of other brands of base layers. This base layer system also provides such a wonderful feel and fit when you have it on, that you probably will forget it's there because it's so comfortable. The main base layer material that we are using is a heavyweight rated synthetic polyester fabric that offers excellent outdoor warmth characterics along with supreme moisture wicking capabilities, therefore you "will" stay warm and dry out in the elements with just the main base layer fabric used in both the top's and bottom's. To bullet proof you to a greater extent from the cold and piercing winds of Winter, we have pattern cut (7)seven inserts that are sewn to the main base material during the assembly process, that have been uniquely developed and added to further protect some sweet spots on your body. The technical insert material (black in color), is a 95% plus thermal windblocking, abrasion resistant, breathable and DWR water repellent treated material that provides additional warmth and wind protection in the areas that always can't seem to get enough. You can wear these starting in the Fall, through the Winter and on into Spring, as these will always keep you comfortable (not hot & sweatie) and you will always stay dry and free from the sweat spot on the middle of your back. These can easily be worn in temperatures of +40F(+4C) to -60F(-51C) and with proper layering on the outside, to temperatures of -100F(-73C). We also rough cut the seam material so that there is always extra fabric to stitch up a blown seam(although we wouldn't expect that to ever happen) and we also "double stitch" the armpit and crotch seams for added security. Our base layer tops are cut with added length so that they don't pull out of the bottoms or pants when you bend over and our bottoms have an inseam lenght that is usually at least an inch or more longer then most other standard brand cuts.
- THE COMPETITION: The competition basically offers "single layer" long underwear tops & bottoms, most sewn in China, cut in sizes that don't fit North American body types, the tops are usually cut too short so when you bend over they pull out and expose the flesh on you back, the bottoms always have a shorter then normal inseam, after a couple of wears & washes the seams start to pull apart in the armpits and crotch and depending on the fabric weight you seem to either be cool or cold when outside and hot & sweatie with them on indoors. The lighter weight fabric doesn't do the warmth job and their heavyweight material ends up being to thick and bulky to wear inside of your blue jeans or pants. Sound familiar? The competition also does not offer a windblocking insert (2 piece) configuration like we do, therefore you will "never" stay as warm, comfortable and dry with "theirs" as you will with "ours". The competition sells on the basis of price and we sell ours on the basis of "total asset value for your investment".
Recommended Wearable Temperature Ranges: +20F(-7C) to -100F(-73C)

Kap Bridgman Arctic Thermal Hat:
Prices Starting as Low as: $79.99 each
- OUR's: This hat is one of a kind in total warmth, not only for what it offers for the head area, but what it provides when the flaps are pulled down and secured under the chin. The main hat is built using a 4 Layer fabric system that produces and impressive thermal insulation value of R-5.75 and the pull down neck/face/chin flaps are built using a 3 Layer technical fabric system that kicks out its own impressive thermal insulation value of R-4.4, which is higher then what most other competitors build into the top half of their Winter mittens.
This hat does an excellent job in regulating the heat build up from the head when the flaps are in the up position and when the flaps are required for additional warmth from the biting winds, it does an excellent job of trapping the heat in. The flap area around the neck is approximately 20% longer in length for greater protection of the rear neck area. This hat provides 100% thermal windblocking protection, is breathable and DWR water repellent with its outer main shell & drop down flaps, which surrounds the inner layers that provide additional thermal insulating warmth and of course the inner most layer surrounding the head provides superior - excellence in moisture wicking and transfer. This hat was actually given final testing in windchilled air temperatures of -109F and well, it passed the test! We also build in a FULL baseball cap brim or bill, to provide full protection from the rain or snow and to also block out the direct sunshine.
- THE COMPETITION: Most of the competitive hats that are somewhat similar to this style are generally put together with a simple 2 layer fabric system. The outer layer is usually a nylon material that provides for water repellency, but does a poor job in providing any thermal windblocking protection or overall thermal insulation value to the whole unit. The inner layer is generally made from a midweight imported cheap fleece material and it by it's own contribution will give the hat perhaps a thermal insulation value of about R-1.2 or so. The brims on most of these competitive hats are only 35% to 40% as long, mini-brims, so they do a poor job in keeping the rain,snow or sun from the eyes. The fold down flaps provide the same poor insulation value as the main hat and the area that pulls down around the rear neck area is usually at least 20% shorter then the hat mentioned above. Although these hats are used and worn in extreme temperature conditions, they really are only acceptable in temperatures warmer then -20F(-29C) and people generally buy them because they are cheaper in price, which is because they are usually made in China.

Windblocking Thermal Straight Neck Gaiter & Windblocking Thermal Drop Pad Neck Gaiters:
"Exclusive Design Offering Brute Warmth - #1 in the World for Keeping YOU Warmer - Longer"
Prices Starting as Low as: $25.99 each & $42.99 each
- OUR's: These neck gaiters are in a Worldly class of their own. Their are no other neck gaiters in the World that compare to what these units provide in terms of total protection and brute warmth. When you put any of these items on, the first words out of your mouth will be "WOW". They've been worn for 8 hours a day in temperatures exceeding -10F to -20F below zero and they've been worn and used 24 hours a day in windchilled tempertures to -109F below zero. The Straight neck gaiters are built using a 2 Layer technical fabric system and the "exclusive" full double drop pad neck gaiters are built with a 2-3 Layer technical fabric system and you will not find Drop Pad neck gaiters like these from any other business in the World unless they've copied ours!
- The straight neck gaiters put out a thermal insulation value of R-2.6, while the drop pad neck gaiters kick out a variable thermal insulation value of R-2.5 in the upper portions and R-4.65 in the drop pads. All configurations totally eliminate FROZEN MUSH FACE and allow you to always be breathing in warm air. The outer shell layers thermally block 100% of the wind and are DWR water repellent treated and all have a top edge built in shock cord and cord loc so that you can secure these units to any location up or down on your face and neck and it will stay there! Their inner most layers are built from heavyweight and extremely warm synthetic polyester material and of course it is only supplied as are all of the other technical garment/gear fabrics from USA Manufacturing Mills. When your work keeps you outside all day or night long in the elements, you need or should demand gear that is going to fight back and actually work! You've now seen the greatest options in the world for sealing out the brutal winds, including the enhanced options for keeping your upper chest core warmer then ever. If it stays warmer - you stay warmer.
If you're tired of what you see in the stores and can't find the gear that really works for keeping "you" warm out in the elements on your job, then you've found the right place that only builds cold weather Winter gear that actually works. If any new gear does not pass our punishing weather condition field testing the prior season to scheduled target release date, "well then you'll never see it available for sale"! As well, you'll generally never see our gear in various retail stores, because in order for us to allow them their 100% or greater mark-ups and for us to still make a buck or two, we'd have to send production off to some third world Country and we're not willing to do that, as we're proud to make it right here in the United States of America and the price is cheaper for you to buy it direct! If you do some simple math you'll easily see just how competitively priced our gear items are in relationship to how we build our items using layering systems, using the finest technical fabrics in the World(i.e. if a competitive item is built with 1 layer, we probably use 2. If they use 2 layers for something, we could use 3 or 4 layers. If they use 3 or 4 layers such as in mitts, well we might just use 12 or 14 total layers.) But even more importantly, OUR GEAR IS MADE TO WORK!
