It’s time to replace the waterproof overmitts I made myself 25 years ago. At the time I covered the palms with a material called Tuffgrip that was a latex? type coating on a fabric backing, similar to all the latex work gloves you see today. It was very durable, waterproof to a good degree, flexible and had great grip. Vastly superior when holding onto a frozen dog sled compared to buckskin chopper mitts. Behind the palm and on the rest of the over mitt was 3 layer Goretex.
I used those mitts for everything from skate skiing to cleaning dog kennels and now they are no longer waterproof to any reasonable standard. I really like the design but need to find some grippy but flexible-at-cold temps palm fabric. It needs to hold stitches well.
Any suggestions?
