Shift'D Mittens

We've been a t-shirt and apparel brand now for almost 3 years.  It's been pretty damn fun being creative and producing apparel that relates to the Action sports industry, especially snowboarding.  Being an Action Sports apparel brand is cool and all but we want to move into more.  We really want to design and perfect some really killer gloves for the snow sports.  Since we are always Ripping the Rockies (RTR) we have the perfect lab to make the best gloves.  We also want to provide those $100+ gloves for far less than $100!  So here's a pair of Mittens that we've been designing and testing this Winter.  We want to have an all leather pair of mittens in our line up and we feel that these will fit the bill:


Here's the details on these bad boys:
  • 100% all natural Grade 'A' Cowhide leather outshell with dual layers at palm and fingertips for added protection and durability.
  • Hipora insert for waterproofing that will block water out but let your hands breathe. 
  • 200gm thermolation laminated inside with black micro fleece polyester fabric for the liner.
  • Additional 100gm thermolation padding behind the back palm, perfect for intense fist bumps!
  • Neoprene cuff with velco strap to provide a secure fit and much needed moisture resistance traditional cuffs can't provide. 
These things are extremely light, tough, and warm! The inside has individual finger compartments so no need to wear glove liners with these.
A pair of gloves like these would easily sell for $100 but we will not be asking this much.  We know that you will like the price we ask when they become available for purchase, on shiftdunion.com .  But for now, the price has yet to be determined.  (Probably somewhere in the $60 range...)

For now we are still trying to decide on a name but we are leaning on Brownies.  If you have a name suggestion leave a comment here on this blog post or tweet us @shiftdunion.  If we love your name suggestion & go with it, you will get a FREE pair!

As always, thanks for checking in with us.  Peace!
