What are the Anti Freeze Mitts?
They're high-performance, fast-drying insulated mitts designed for uncompromised warmth and protection in cold climates. Filled with a combination of ExpeDRY 800+ FP goose down and PrimaLoft® Gold synthetic insulation, they're perfect for popping on for an instant boost of warmth when the pace slows.
What are they made from?
The Anti Freeze Mitts are created from a combination of Pertex® Quantum recycled nylon ripstop outer, ExpeDRY 800+ FP goose down, PrimaLoft® Gold synthetic insulation and a lightweight 20D PEAQ recycled nylon lining.
Insulation: The mitts are filled with 25g of 90/10 ExpeDRY goose down with 800+ fill power across the back of the hands and cuffs for maximum loftiness and warmth. The palm is filled with 170 g/m² PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation for excellent thermal efficiency even in wet conditions.
ExpeDRY™ by Allied Feather is an innovative, chemical-free, non-toxic alternative to hydrophobic-treated down. ExpeDRY™ uses chemical-free gases to permanently bond non-toxic gold particles to the individual down clusters, aiding the evaporation of water molecules, causing the down to dry faster and stay dry in high humidity and extreme conditions. This highly effective ability to move moisture helps the down retain maximum loft (fluffiness) and deal with various sources of moisture such as rain, snow and sweat, making it ideal for various environments and activities.
PrimaLoft® Gold is a cosy and breathable synthetic insulation that's highly efficient with low bulk and weight. The small fibres of this insulation provide excellent thermal efficiency; they're thinner than human hair, and the thinner the fibres, the warmer the insulation will be. The mapped construction maximises cold-weather protection without hindering the glove's dexterity.
Outer: The Anti Freeze Mitt's outer shell is made from 20 Denier Pertex® Quantum recycled nylon ripstop with a PFC/PFAS-free DWR (durable water repellent).
Pertex® Quantum provides a lightweight, soft feel and helps improve the efficiency of the insulation by trapping still air. Though recycled, it doesn't skimp on performance; its tightly woven structure provides excellent levels of wind resistance and durability, providing both comfort and enhanced thermal performance. The fabric is coated in a PFC/PFAS-free DWR, which encourages light rain or snow to bead off the fabric without the use of harmful forever chemicals.
Lining: Montane has lined the mitts with lightweight 20D PEAQ recycled nylon , which is also treated with a PFC/PFAS-Free DWR (durable water repellent). PEAQ Down lining uses bluesign® approved recycled nylon plain weave, which is durable and abrasion-resistant yet lightweight. The lining feels soft next to the skin and is highly breathable, improving comfort and helping to regulate temperature during intense activity.
Palm: For added protection, Montane have use their 30 denier nano ripstop Petrichor material, for highly breathable waterproof protection. This Petrichor technology ultilises a super-thin, solid, non-porous hydrophilic membrane, which actively transports moisture away from the body through internal channels, enhancing breathability with increased exertion while also providing complete waterproof and windproof performance.
What are their features?
It's well known that down and water don't mix well, so to combat this, Montane has used a combination of 800+ FP goose down to the back of the hands and PrimaLoft® Gold synthetic insulation across the palms and fingers, with a Petrichor waterproof palm for maximum warmth, durability and protection in cold, unpredictable conditions. The synthetic insulation on the palms offers durable insulation even when compressed or wet, whilst the lofty down baffles across the back of the hands provide a cosy shield against winter's bite on exposed routes.
The mitts feature a pre-curved natural shape to aid dexterity and comfort, and a soft elasticated, adjustable wrist to achieve a snug fit around various layers to effectively seal out the elements.
