Prairie Snowstorm Mitts w/Handlebar Straps

SIZING FOR PRAIRE SNOWSTORM MITTS ONLY

To determine the correct mitt size, you will need to measure the length of your hand from the bottom "full crease" line at the base of your hand to the tip of your "middle" finger.  Next you need to measure the width of your hand at the points illustrated above.

Once you have your bare handed length & width dimensions of your hand, then go to the chart below which highlights the "MAXIMUM" hand dimension for each mitt size.  If you want to use the mitts in conjunction with a lightweight pair of gloves so that you hand is always protected from the cold when you need the dextarity of using your fingers outside of the mitt, then take the same measurement with your glove on and then determine your size.

We use only the highest quality USA manufactured synthetic polyester that meets U.S. Military specifications and other USA made insulation materials in our construction processes.  These mitts also contain 20% "Earth friendly green" technical fabric material that is made from re-cycled plastic bottles, which is then processed into the finest synthetic polyester fabric in the World.

These Mitts are generously sized, so you do not have to order the next size up to get enough room for your hands and fingers.

Size Medium:  Same specifications as noted above.

• Approximate Outer Length:  11.75" - 298.45mm
• Approximate Outer Hand Area Width:  6.25" - 158.75mm

Recommended average temperature ranges for wearing:  +30 F to -30 F (-1C to -34C)

Did You Know...

We like to use terminology throughout our website for explaining the forces of nature that impact why different parts of our bodies get cold and at the same time we also, generally explain what we have done to combat the described or termed force of nature.

But the real question here is whether you remember or understand what they they are and why it is important to know what they mean?  We continue to believe that informed shoppers make better choices, so listed below are a few terms & definitions for making you a wiser person:

Project 100 Certified - 100% Thermal Windblocking Protection

100% Made in the USA

Conduction or Conductive Heat Loss: 
 
 ....is the transfer of heat from one object to another, when the two objects are touching or in contact with each other......Picture going outside in the Winter time and picking up a frozen steel pipe with your mitts on your hands, the warmer object your hands w/mitts (or heat) is gripping the colder object (the frozen steel pipe) which is inturn transferring the heat away from your hand & mitts.

Why is this important?  It's important because your hand dissipates twice as much heat and sweat moisture on the bottom side of the hand versus the top side of the hand.  Therefore, when you're wearing most other brands of Winter mittens that are built with the bottom side only 20% to 30 % as thick as the top side, the cold or frozen object in your grip is transferring or stealing away the critical heat from your hand(s).

"NEW for Winter 2010-11" - X-Small

Thermal Windblocking Abrasion Resistant Wicking Lightweight Mitts/Liner Mitts

10410LMXS

X-Small Liner Mitts

X-Small Liner Mitt (left) - Pictured w/X-Small G2 Prairie Snowstorm Mitten

The Technical Advantage Gear lightweight mittens were designed for those of you who experience terminally cold fingers, most of the year, as caused by:

• Diabetes
• Severe Frostbite or Black Finger, Freezing Burns & major Heat Burns that have left the skins surface damaged & sensitive to the cool or cold air and sometimes over sensitive to heat
• Heart Disease or other factors leading up to Heart Disease, such as high blood pressure & high cholesterol
• Hereditary Blood Circulation issues
• Other Medical Conditions, prescription side effects, final removal of surgical bandages & wrist or arm casts, leaving the skin area extremely sensitive to cold air until the new skin fully develops and acclimates back to normal for that person
• Raynauds Disease(some also spell it Reynauds), that affects the flow of blood to the limbs, causes severe pain and/or dis-coloring to the color of the skin, with magnified sensitivity to the cold air
• Self inflicted issues such as Smoking that impairs circulation, as does high Caffeine intake that constricts the veins
• Senior Citizens & the Aging Process causing thinning of the skin
• Stroke

We're introducing Lightweight Mitts/Liner Mitts to our product range, primarily for our existing and new customer base of people who suffer from afflictions that affect & impact their blood circulatory systems, causing restricted blood flow resultings in always cold fingers and/or skin that is severely sensitive and painful to cool and cold weather temperatures.  We did not develop these lightweight/liner mitts for people who have normal blood circulation, as an attempt to sell you an "add-on" to our regular mitten product range, as you do not need them because we construct our mittens correctly from the start.

These mitten units are for those of you who are impacted from Diabetes, Raynauds, Hereditary issues, Heart Disease, Aging and the like, whereby it is best that your hands are always protected and covered from the Fall/Winter/Spring elements, once your hand is outside of your regular mitten.  These units are designed to be used as either a Lightweight independent mitten unit for the late Fall - early Spring temperature seasons, or as a Liner Mitten to be used in conjunction with a regular mitten during the dead cold of Winter.

What we did, which most other companies don't do with their liners, is that we built ours to be thermal windblocking on the outside layer and then added an inner layer that has superior excellence in thermal moisture wicking and transfer, resulting in very action packed 2 Layer technical fabric system.  On top of that, these units can perform very well in cooler weather temperatures because they have great dextarity and the outer shells have excellent abrasion resistance and are also DWR water repellent treated for repelling rain or snow moisture when used as an independent lightweight mitten.

These units have adequate stretch capacity for length and width adjustment, for those having hands that don't fit perfectly into our sizing dimension charts, therefore "always" order that smaller size instead of the next size up for the best fit.  We also gave these units good overall length, which means that they should easily ride up at least 40% to 50% of the length of your forearm, providing excellent wrist protection as well.

The 2 Layer system that these mittens are built with, although lightweight in feel, still produce a thermal insulation R-value of R2.8, which is tremendous when you know that they only consist of 2 layers of technical fabric.  As an independent mitten these units would also be great for those late Fall - late Winter - early Spring days when your running errands and are in and out of the car/truck, would be great for cyclist and even for people and/or seniors sitting inside of the house with terminally cold fingers.  

These units should help in providing a better regulation of temperature around the hands and fingers, keeping them comforatable and "not sweatie hot" and if the hands/fingers do sweat like they occassionally do when first inside of gloves/mittens, these will do a great job in wicking the moisture away!

As a separate lightweight mitten, these are designed to be used in temperatures above +32F - 0C and are not sold as a replacement for regular fully insulated Winter Mittens.

Dimensions:

• Approximate Outer Length:  11.5" - 292.1mm
• Approximate Outer Hand Area Width:  3.5" - 88.9mm
• Approximate Hand Opening Area Inside Width:  3.50" - 88.9mm
