I'd say count me in for a pair - as long as they are a very insulated/warm glove? 

Yes and no...   I designed them to be versatile, suitable for any day and any temp.  So the main mitten is only thinly insulated, but protected from water and wind with the coating, and then the liners will keep you warm and protect your fingers from ice balls on the surface (death cookies).   On very cold days, just wear a thicker liner or another full glove inside.  

For me, sweaty hands on warm days are as much of a problem as frozen fingers on cold days, so it's a modular system, adjustable for the conditions.  Just size up to leave room.  (Revelstoke has 1700m of vertical so the average temperature change is 10⁰ C from top to bottom, and sometimes it's as much as 20⁰C, so modular layering systems are required here - and also universal wax.)

The first proto had thick insulation, but I felt it was too much for warm days.  Plus, the thinner insulation and breathable back side will make sure that they will dry out fast between sessions.  This can be an issue when your mitten is coated in rubber... 

Inventory is en route now, mitten coating party next weekend!


I'm just slaying...
