What is the Astral Mitt?
The Astral Mitt is an incredibly warm, tough and dexterous mitt for extremely cold conditions. A mixture of leather and nylon outer fabrics ensures the highest levels of durability without compromising on dexterity.
What are they made of?
The mitts are made from a mix of fabrics which ensure durability is kept high yet dexterity isn't compromised heavily. A Pertex shield outer provides total wind and waterproofing, ensuring your hands stay dry and comfortable. A Pittards leather is used over the palm, while a softer brushed leather is used on the thumb to wipe your nose with. Inside, you'll find a super soft Bemberg lining which wicks away sweat and provides a comfortable, warm surface for your skin to sit against.
Insulation wise, you've got a lot of it. 100g of PrimaLoft Gold Grip Control takes care of the insulation in the palm, while a massive 400g of PrimaLoft Gold (standard) is used over the back of the hand. PrimaLoft Grip Control essentially fixes the insulation in place inside the glove, meaning there's no excess movement when handing tools. On top of this, a super high quality 750 fill-power goose down adds further insulation and is treated with a Nikwax hydrophobic coating to allow it to perform better if it happens to get wet.
What are the features?
Features wise, you've got a single-handed cuff cinch adjuster, an adjustable wrist strap, a ripstop nylon cuff lining to prevent icing, a stretchy panel over the knuckles and lastly a removable leash.
