Yes George, that's it, the 0317, the insulated cowhide mitt. I wore them walking this AM @11 degrees F and my hand were still nice and warm. Wouldn't ya' know it, many a hundreds of dollars I've spent on mittens and these are by far the best. They're split cowhide and would get wet from wet snow so I'll likely apply some Sno-Seal on them with a hair dryer for heat.
When I first tried them on I thought the thumb fit kinda funny as the cut is rather basic, but once I wore then I didn't care ! https://cdn.reactorone.net/refrigiwear/images/product-zoom/317.jpg On Saturday, December 26, 2020 at 12:57:53 PM UTC-5 George Schick wrote: > Can't find mitt #037 on the RefrigiWear website.
