Kinco Grain Cowhide XL Chopper Mitt Shell Gloves (1931-XL)
The Kinco Grain Cowhide XL Chopper Mitt Shell Gloves (1931-XL) are purpose-built to provide a robust and protective outer layer for your hands in cold environments. These unlined mitts are crafted from high-quality tan full-grain cowhide, offering a natural resistance to water and excellent protection against abrasion and punctures. Designed to function as a "shell," they are intended to be paired with an insulating liner for optimal warmth, allowing you to customize your level of insulation based on the conditions. Whether you're working on a farm, ranch, engaging in logging, or simply enjoying outdoor recreation in cooler temperatures, these mitts offer the reliability and comfort you need. Their thoughtful design elements, such as the Easy-On™ cuff and flexible wing thumb, ensure practical use and a comfortable fit, making them a dependable choice for demanding tasks.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Premium Full-Grain Cowhide: Made from tan full-grain cowhide leather, these mitts offer exceptional durability and natural water resistance, extending the life of the product and protecting your hands from various elements. The full-grain quality ensures the strongest part of the hide is used, providing superior protection against cuts and abrasions.
Easy-On™ Cuff with Shirred Elastic Wrist: This design allows for quick and effortless donning and doffing of the mitts. The elastic wrist provides a secure and comfortable fit, effectively sealing out cold air and debris while helping to keep the mitts firmly in place during active use.
Mitt Shell Pattern: The specific mitt pattern encases all four fingers together, which significantly enhances heat retention by allowing fingers to share warmth. As a shell, it provides a protective outer layer against wind and physical hazards, ready to accommodate your preferred insulating liner.
Comfort-Focused Out-Seam Construction: With seams sewn on the outside, the interior of the mitt remains smooth and free of abrasive edges. This thoughtful construction eliminates potential rub points, ensuring a higher level of comfort, especially when wearing the mitts for extended periods or with an inner liner.
Flexible Wing Thumb Design: The wing thumb is angled to provide a more natural and ergonomic fit. This design allows for enhanced flexibility and a greater range of motion for the thumb, improving grip and reducing hand fatigue during tasks that require holding or manipulating objects.

Material: Tan Full-Grain Cowhide Leather (Grain Cowhide palm, Suede Cowhide back)

Select Your Liner: These mitts are unlined shells. For warmth in cold conditions, choose an appropriate insulating liner. Kinco's Ragg Wool Mitt Liner (Style 5230) is a recommended option, but any suitable thermal liner can be used.
Insert Liner (Optional Step): If using a liner, gently slide the liner into the Kinco Chopper Mitt Shell, ensuring it fits smoothly and is not bunched up inside.
Don the Mitts: Slide your hand into the mitt, ensuring your fingers go into the main compartment and your thumb into the separate thumb section. The Easy-On™ cuff allows for a straightforward process.
Adjust the Fit: Once your hand is inside, the shirred elastic wrist will naturally conform to your wrist, providing a snug fit. Adjust as needed for comfort.
Engage in Activities: Use the mitts for tasks requiring hand protection in cold weather, such as farming, ranch work, wood chopping, or general outdoor recreation.
Remove After Use: When finished, simply pull the mitts off by the cuff.
Care and Storage: Do not wash these leather mitts. Spot clean only if necessary. Store them in a dry place when not in use. Consider applying a leather conditioner or waterproofing wax (like beeswax-based products) periodically to maintain the leather's condition and enhance water resistance.
