So...What is Batwaves?
We are a company that was started by a group of friends back in the 80's in Sandpoint, Idaho. These friends came up with the idea that they could design their own gloves in order to keep snowboarder's hands warm and dry. Their design was simple, yet effective, and became popular with snowboarders all up and down the west coast. Their unique glove was called a Batmitt. (for more on Batmitts, click here) Batmitts were worn by some of snowboarding's greatest legends including Tex Davenport & Jeff Fulton, both members of the famed Baker Hardcore. Other huge names in the industry that played a role in research & development on the Batmitt include Anton Pogue, Jay Liska and Nate Holland.
Now Batwaves is back, and we've restarted production on the Batmitt; the same mitt that these riders and countless others took to develop over a period of 20 years. Del Sanborn, one of the people responsible for the original design and manufacturing of the Batmitt, has played an integral role in getting the Batmitt back into production. Del has assisted in ensuring that the mitt surpasses the standards set by Batwaves during the 80's & 90's.
Batmitts are custom made in the Sandpoint area with materials that are entirely made in the USA. Manufacturing the mitt locally allows us to ensure quality and consistency. Purchasing our materials from US manufacturers ensures we are putting the best quality materials into our product.
