Another special here - mainly because I'd forgotten I'd ordered these a year ago, the package went missing in the US and has just turned up!

THese are brand new US military cold-weather mittens - part-lined with a soft leather palm which extends to the underside of the fingers. These have a trigger-finger space as well, although I never use this. THe inners - also with trigger finger if wanted - are 100% wool. THey have an easy adjustment around the wrist, and the ends are gently elasticated to fit over jackets etc. They outers are also joined by a long piece of cord so you don't lose them - memories of childhood, eh?!

For those of you who don't know how to use gloves, they also come with an instruction sheet............

These are size M, but tend to be larger. I normally take a large in gloves, and these fit fine. However if you normally take an XL, these will be too small.

If you already have an existing order in with me for a woobie, arctic canteen etc, I will include p&p, and price to you will be £13. Same price if hand-delivered at a meet etc. Otherwise, including postage, these will be £15. 8 pairs available. Come on folks, the glove-wearing instructions alone are worth that!

Hi Andy,

Will these be suitable for Norway as i'm off on the Arctic expedition course?

If so i'll take a pair.

Cheers


To be honest, I suppose it depends on the temperatures! Tell you what, take a pair, and if they're not warm enough in your opinion once you've seen them, send them back. Only pay me if you're happy they'll do the job.
 
Should be Green Knight, I have used the USAF version down to -20 ( added a very thin pair of merino gloves under the wool mitten, toasty! )
Hope you don't mind me butting in Andy! ?
Best.
Chris.
 
Just done a bit of research / reviews and add to that Chris Comment (thanks Chris), i think it be fine as i have merino gloves also.

I'll take them Andy, pm me your details & i'll pay up front as i'm confident they will work great!, cheers!

1 more tick on the kit list :)
 
OK folks - just got back home. Send me your addresses and I'll get them out early next week. I'll send you my paypal address once I get your details, or alternatively I'll give you bank details for direct transfer.
