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) Later, the design evolved into several different mitt designs, including the Winger, Half Pipe, Split Finger (Lobster Claw), & Trigger Finger models. 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 has been back since 2007 and we are in production on Batmitts, Wingers, and our new Park Model mitt. These are the same mitts that the early legendary riders and countless others developed over a period of 20 years. We specialize in custom mitts for teams, clubs or individuals. Del Sanborn, one of the people responsible for the original design and manufacturing of the Batmitt, has played an integral role in getting these mitts back into production. Del has assisted in ensuring that our mitts surpass the standards set by Batwaves during the 80's & 90's.
Our mitts are made in Sandpoint, Idaho 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.
