Trigger FInger Mitten Shells and the Mitten Inserts
Materials Used
Mitten Shells
The leather on the palm is deerskin. The fabric on the back of hand, fingers, thumb, and front and back of mitten is wind-resistant, water-repellent cotton and nylon. The insulating material for the back of thumb, hand, and trigger finger, down to the cuff of the mitten, is polyester batting.
Mitten Inserts
The yarn is a wool and nylon blend.
Concept of Use
The trigger finger mitten shells are to be worn with or without the wool/nylon mitten inserts and in areas too cold for leather gloves and not sufficiently cold for arctic mittens.
