Our mittens are lined with 100% pure New Zealand possum fur. Why possum? In New Zealand the possum is regarded as a pest because there is no natural predation and the growing possum population is steadily munching its way through the available flora and fauna. The fur of the possum is composed of very fine, very soft strands of hair, each of them hollow, trapping air and providing excellent insulation. This is an attribute that the possum shares with the polar bear. Polar bears don't feel the cold and nor, in our possum lined mittens, will you.
"It's the secret that changes everything — a fiber so extraordinary, once you've felt it, nothing else will do."
- Naturally hollow fibres for maximum warmth-to-weight ratio
- Breathable — regulates temperature on the mountain and off
- Incredibly soft against the skin — softer than cashmere
- Hypoallergenic and naturally odour-resistant
- Ethically harvested — conservation-positive sourcing from New Zealand
Unlike synthetic alternatives, it breathes — regulating your temperature whether you're bombing down a black diamond or sipping a vin chaud at the chalet.
