Description

Wiggy's Extreme Arctic Mittens are extra heavy-weight Lamilite mittens for the coldest places people work and race. They are the mitten used in the great dog sled races and are bought mostly by people living above 50° latitude.

  • Proven at -40 to -50°F. We tested them in the 1999 Yukon Quest Dog Mushing Race, where they kept hands warm beyond expectations.
  • Two-layer system. A three ply Supplex outer shell over a 24 ounce Lamilite lining, plus a 5 ounce Lamilite insert.
  • Nose wipe built in. A large square of pile on the back of the palm.
  • Warm when damp. Lamilite keeps insulating when it gets damp and dries fast.

Sizes Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large.

What every Wiggy's has in common

One insulation. Everything we make.

Most bags stitch right through their insulation. Every seam is a cold spot. Wiggy's Lamilite is one continuous layer with nothing stitched through it. It breathes, keeps working when it gets damp, and dries fast.

  • For families: no cold spots, so everyone sleeps warm.
  • In the field: keeps insulating when it's wet.
  • For programs: in service for decades, not seasons.
  • At the edge of the map: rated to -60°F.
Why Lamilite works
Most bags: stitched throughEvery seam pinches the insulation flat. That's where the cold gets in.
