Genuine Swedish Army Leather Mittens - Arctic White
Heavy-Duty Natural Leather | Extreme Cold Protection | Authentic Swedish Surplus
Traditional Arctic Protection
When it comes to surviving sub-zero Scandinavian winters, the Swedish Army knows that natural materials often perform best. These Genuine Swedish Army Leather Mittens are designed to be worn as a protective outer shell in extreme arctic conditions.
Constructed from thick, durable leather, these mitts offer superior windproofing and durability compared to modern synthetic gloves. Their oversized "trigger finger" or mitten design allows you to wear thick wool liners underneath, creating a massive thermal barrier against the elements.
Key Features & Technical Specs
-
100% Genuine Leather: Rugged, heavy-weight leather construction that remains flexible even in freezing temperatures.
-
Winter Camouflage: Finished in Arctic White, designed to blend into snowy environments.
-
Oversized Fit: Specifically cut to be worn over woolly liners or gloves, providing an extra layer of insulation and wind protection.
-
Campfire Ready: Unlike nylon or polyester gloves, these leather mitts won't melt if they touch a hot stove or catch a spark from a campfire—making them a bushcraft essential.
-
Elasticated/Adjustable Wrists: Designed to seal out the spindrift and keep warmth trapped inside.
Condition Note: Used Grade (Staining Present)
These are genuine used military surplus items.
-
The Condition: The leather is supple and fully functional with no holes or structural damage.
-
Appearance: Because these are White, they show signs of their previous life in the field. Please expect staining, surface marks, or discolouration from contact with grease, dirt, or metal equipment.
-
The Verdict: If you are looking for "fashion" gloves, these aren't for you. If you want high-performance, indestructible leather mitts that you aren't afraid to get dirty, these are a bargain.
Ideal For:
-
Bushcraft & Winter Camping: Perfect for handling firewood, Dutch ovens, and hot kettles.
-
Winter Work: Heavy-duty hand protection for farmers, fencing, or cold-weather manual labor.
