Beaver "chopper" mitts?

[Flat-Lander601]

Randy Newberg uses them and I'm sure they're comfortable and warm. Anyone know where you can get them or how to make them?

Cold hands are a weakness that I have to combat. Sure I use merino liner gloves year round but a new system of over glove is always great. I'm plagued with wide palms and short fingers which makes glove fitting hard so I'm not opposed to making mitts for the cold days on a stand.

I am not exactly sure what Randy wears but I do wear something similar and have for 40 years. I started wearing them when I was a kid helping my dad outside during the Montana hi-line winters. Mine are just a leather mitt with a wool liner. I get them at the local ag store.

Wild Things Fur in Wisconsin made mine.

I have a hat from Wild Things Fur, my only complaint is its to warm!

Army surplus with wool liners. If it's real cold I slip a hand warmer in there too.

Shopper, thank you for the address! If anyone knows how to make them then I would be willing to give it a shot too, but for $31 I could easily just save myself time. Thanks!

Yep. I don't wear my hat and mittens very often. They are great for ice fishing, though.
