Brushtail Possum Mittens
Winter weather can be harsh, but when the digits drop yours don’t have to feel the chill. Made from a combination of New Zealand's brushtail possum fur, and New Zealand Merino lamb's wool, these Brushtail Possum mittens provide plenty of warmth when you need it most.
The mittens help keep your hands warm and cozy on those cold fall and winter nights.
These mittens are a great companion to the Brushtail Possum Socks, and can be used as a liner under our Vertice Rain Mitts
*Mittens are non-returnable if they have been removed from the packaging.
Our Brushtail Possum Mittens are produced by combining the fur of New Zealand's brushtail possum and New Zealand Merino lamb's wool.
The hair of brushtail possum is hollow, just like Polar Bear hair, which provides incredible warmth and water resistant. While typical wool gloves may stay warm when wet, they take forever to dry. If you put these gloves in water, the water shakes right out and they dry quickly.
New Zealand's possums are unrelated to the opossums found in the United States. They are super cute, but they are also an invasive species that destroy the native plant and bird life.

These mittens are stretchy, but they run a bit small. They may shrink a bit if they are dried in a dryer. It is better to size up if on the line.
Washing
This item can be hand washed with warm water and soap or in a traditional washing machine.
Drying
The gloves should be line dried. Putting the gloves in a dryer may cause them to shrink a bit, but they do stretch back out.

Soft and nice
These work great as a liner under my ski mittens and they are very soft feeling
Possum mittens
I like the way they fit. Work by themselves but I like to use them with a rain mittens for rain and wind protection. Together they keep my hands comfortable unless overly cold.
very warm mittens
These are lovely warm mittens. Underneath waterproof shell gloves they kept my hands so warm I had to take them off a couple times! Amazing. Very soft, nice color too. I also got the hat which is very nice and goes over the ears which is vital.
Great mittens
These are great mittens, I’d love to Find a crewneck sweater made of the same materials!
Possum wool mittens
Comfortable and just right for hiking w temps in 30-40 range. Not very durable; they hole easily. I wear a second pair in colder temps; works well.

Goose Down Hood
Couldn’t be happier with this down hood. Perfect for quilt users, doesn’t slide around or off your head at night like a beanie can on straight, slick hair. Much better than the hood on a sleeping bag, which can slide into your face when you turn, and of course can’t be detached for use as a separate warm hood. The ultra light weight is remarkable. It’s very warm and has a cozy fit and feel.
Get ready for sweet dreams on cold nights when bundled up with the Goose Hood. A perfect companion to your ultralight down quilt, stay cozy and snug tucked away from the cold. The Goose Hood can also be worn by itself when you need extra protection from the chill.
