Getting ready for winter takes a little bit of time. First you need to figure out what you have left over from last year that will be able to be used for this year. Sometimes, its better to spring for new stuff for the season. One of the things that are a real asset to winter are ragg wool mittens.
These mittens keep moisture away from the skin and keeps your hands from becoming dry and cracked.
Some ragg wool mittens have a thinsulate lining that keeps your hands warm. Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops carries these mittens and also fingerless gloves which have the same benefit but allow you to use your fingers as needed. There is another option called the pop top mittens. These mittens have a little top that folds back and is held in place by a snap. With the top snapped in back, the fingerless gloves are revealed. This neat little innovation gives you the warmth of mittens and the dexterity of gloves.
Another innovation in ragg wool mittens are instant heat packs that are placed in little pouche that are built into the mittens. These packs can be put in the microwave. The gloves can stay warm for up to ten hours. The little packs can be reused.
