Had to make The Boy some new mittens because the old ones were put too close to the exhaust stack of our furnace. It is a handy place to put mittens and boots beacuse it is warm. In this case, the mittens were too close and the nylon melted a bit. I have one pair cut out and one of them sewn. I don't have another set of buckles for the other ones so they may be a while in the making. This is a Green Pepper pattern. They have good, rugged outerwear patterns for adults and kids. This is the kid pattern. I'll put a real review on tomorrow.
I added a toggle with elastic at the edge of the cuff so snow and water will stay out. I also added a reflector strip to the right-hand mitten.
The palms are Cordura. The main fabric is XALT Waterproof/Breathable fabric.
The inner mitt is Malden Mills Polartec 200. I made them separate so that we can pull them apart and dry they quickly. Also, we can stick a hand warmer in between the two layers so he can stay warm but the warmer won't be too hot against his skin. Those babies get cookin'.
