Mainers All-Leather Mitts | Gore-Tex Waterproof | Made in Maine

Mainers makes mitts for people who work in liquid nitrogen. For forty years, the folks at Tempshield Cryo-Protection have been handcrafting gear that protects researchers, military personnel, and NASA from temperatures down to -320.8°F — cryogenic gloves trusted in labs that cannot afford failure. They're based fifteen minutes from Acadia National Park in Trenton, Maine, where many of the same sewers who've been building that commercial gear since 1980 now make these consumer mitts with the same construction standards. Full-grain goatskin leather shell, Gore-Tex waterproof insert, Polartec Power Grid fleece, recycled Thinsulate insulation, antimicrobial microfleece palm. Gauntlet cuff, removable wrist leashes, more than 95% U.S.-sourced materials. Warmth rating 6 out of 6, which makes sense when your day job is protecting hands from liquid oxygen.

When your professional reputation depends on not getting frostbite while handling materials that exist at temperatures found nowhere in nature, you build things a certain way. Turns out that same approach works beautifully for standing around waiting for the dog to finish sniffing every individual snowflake. Overkill has its place.
