Yukon Mitten - Kids'

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a special coating applied to the fabric of the mittens that makes them water-resistant. This means that when you're out in wet conditions, like snow or rain, water will bead up and roll off instead of soaking in. This keeps your hands dry and comfortable, which is essential for activities like skiing or snowboarding.

High-Loft Synthetic Insulation is designed to trap heat effectively. Its fluffy, thick structure creates air pockets that retain body heat, ensuring your hands stay warm even in cold weather. This type of insulation is particularly beneficial for outdoor activities where maintaining warmth is crucial.

The One-Hand Cinch Gauntlet Closure is a convenient feature that allows you to easily adjust the fit of the mitten's cuff with just one hand. This is especially useful when you're wearing the mittens and need to tighten or loosen them quickly, providing extra coverage and warmth without needing assistance.

Mittens made with Recycled Polyester are an eco-friendly choice because they are produced from recycled plastic materials, such as used water bottles. By choosing these mittens, you are helping to reduce waste and minimize the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new materials, making it a sustainable option for your winter gear.

The Mitten Style covers the entire hand, with a separate section for the thumb, allowing your fingers to share body heat. This design can provide more warmth than traditional gloves, where each finger is separated. If you're looking for maximum warmth during cold-weather activities, mittens are often the better choice.

While mittens with DWR Treatment are designed to repel water and keep your hands dry in light to moderate wet conditions, they are not completely waterproof. For heavy rain or wet snow, it's best to look for mittens specifically labeled as waterproof or to use them in conjunction with other waterproof gear to ensure your hands stay dry.
