Batmitts have been tested over a 20 year period by
some of the biggest names in the snowsport industry. Batmitts continue to
be tested by professional riders, up and coming young talent, as well
as hardcore winter athletes who use these mitts over 160 days a year. These
mitts have been known to last upwards of 10-15 years, even after heavy
abuse year after year. We are happy to say that our mitts are
manufactured in Denver, Colorado and all the parts and pieces used are
from the USA. We have found that materials made
domestically surpass foreign imports in quality.
From the
beginning, Batwaves intended Batmitts to be a
"Backpack for Your Hand". The mitts were designed according to the
highest standards of the backpacking world. Cordura was, and still is,
the material of choice for the best packs made today; and it is the
material you will find on Batmitts old and new. Another hallmark of the
Batmitt is their warm fleece liners. We use Polartec Fleece; made by
Malden Mills in the US. Polartec is one of
the most respected names in fleece today because their high quality
fleece breathes, does not pill, and wicks away moisture.
Snowboarders
and backcountry enthusiasts are stoked to wear these mitts. Batmitts
are
radically rugged.
Wingers-
Wingers have been subject to the same
intensive research and development as their Batmitt counterparts.
Wingers are similar to the
Batmitt, but they have a few features that are highly appealing to many
snowsport enthusiasts. Wingers are designed with a slimmer profile
(more appealing to a skier who uses poles for example). Wingers use a
lighter
weight fabric (still Cordura) for more flexibility and greater touch
perception. And, as a result of a less involved design, the Winger is
less expensive to make than the Batmitt and cheaper for you to buy.
Wingers are for the
all-sport
adventurer including skiers and mountain
bikers.
Park Model- The Park Model was designed for our competitive park riders and is our most economical model. Despite the killer price, these mitts are still top quality. Made of 1000 denier Cordura, these mitts are more durable and warmer than any other park mitt on the market today. They have a streamlined design similar to the Winger, but with a shorter forearm. These mitts are designed to fit under your coat, in contrast to the over-the-coat design of Batmitts and Wingers.
Custom- We can also design any kind of mitt that you want. We make custom trigger fingers, split fingers, or anything else you could want. Custom mitts usually run around $150.00. Contact us at
support@batwaves.com for more info.
