Swany Women's Toaster Softy Mitts:
We love mittens for skiing and snowboarding, but if you're like us, you probably had to tear your gloves off to do those tasks that require fine dexterity, like unlocking your ski cable lock or entering the key code on the frozen metal keypad lock at the entrance to an alpine hotel or condo. Swany's Toaster Soft Mitts have a side zipper feature that gives you the functionality of a finger glove and the warmth of a highly weather resistant mitten. Simply unzip the waterproof Aquaguard lock-down zipper on side of the mitten to expose your fleece-fingered liner. Do what you have to do (like stir the hot cocoa swizzle stick before it loses all its steam) and then zip everything up again without enduring cold fingers or juggling loose mittens. Swany reinforced the palm area of their Toaster Soft Mitts with a rugged LeatherShield made from real tanned top grain leather. Inside the glove you'll find a warm layer of synthetic Insuloft insulation made from lofted micro polyester that helps trap and hold warm air molecules. One thing to keep in mind is that while the Toaster Softy has plenty of weatherproof protection on the outside, you need to remember to keep the waterproof Aquaguard lock-down zipper locked and sealed in rain or sleet, or you might feel a little bit of wet on the inside (don't worry--the SwanyDry inner glove wicks that excess moisture away from your fingers).
