Why Layering Matters in Extreme Cold

Before diving into the specifics, let's discuss why layering is crucial in extreme cold weather. 

As you layer your clothing to trap heat and adapt to changing conditions, your hands benefit from the same approach. 

The Heat Company's extreme cold weather mittens are designed to provide:

  1. Optimal temperature regulation
  2. Moisture management
  3. Versatility for various activities
  4. Enhanced protection against the elements

Now, let's break down each layer of this ingenious system and explore how they work together to keep you comfortable and functional in the coldest environments.

1st Layer: Liner Inner Gloves - Your Foundation of Comfort

The first layer of the Heat Layer system is all about creating a comfortable base that wicks moisture and provides initial insulation. 

Choose your liner based on your specific needs and the activities you'll be tackling.

Some examples include: 

  • The Durable Liner Pro, which features wind and water-repellent Polartec® Wind Pro® on the back, is made of premium sheepskin leather palms for durability and grip.
  • The Wind Pro Liner is breathable and lightweight, perfect for high-intensity activities. It also features high elasticity for an optimal fit and unrestricted movement.

2nd Layer: Shell Mittens - Your Shield Against the Cold

The second layer is where things get serious. The Shell mittens are designed to preserve 10-20% of heat loss, providing a crucial barrier against the cold. 

Let's look at some of your options:

  • The Shell Full Leather mitten gloves offer breathable goatskin construction for durability and style. They also have an adaptable thumb and mitten functionality for enhanced dexterity.
  • The standard Shell cold-weather gloves have PrimaLoft Gold insulation for effective warmth without bulk. Also, they have durable goatskin palms for long-lasting wear and grip.

3rd Layer: Polar Hood Pullover Mittens - The Ultimate Defense

It's time to bring out the big guns when the weather turns truly brutal. 

The Polar Hood serves as the outermost layer of the system, offering additional protection against wind and moisture.

Polar Hood: Your Cold Weather Fortress

The Polar Hood is the pinnacle of cold-weather hand protection regarding extreme cold weather work gloves. 

  • Unparalleled wind and water resistance
  • Feather-light construction at just 144g
  • Compatible with any of our glove models for total environmental protection

The Polar Hood generates additional heat output without extra insulation material. 

How? By trapping air between itself and the Shell layer beneath. It's like having a personal greenhouse for your hands!

Don't let its protective power fool you—the Polar Hood is incredibly compact and easily fits into your gear.

How to Master the Art of Layering

Now that you know each system component, let's talk strategy. Here's how to make the most of your layering game:

  1. Assess the conditions: Consider the temperature, wind chill, and your planned activities.
  2. Start with your base: Choose a Liner that matches your needs. The Durable Liner Pro might suffice for moderate cold, while the Wind Pro Liner is ideal for windy conditions.
  3. Add your primary insulation: Layer on your chosen Shell mitten. Remember, this is where you get the bulk of your heat retention.
  4. Prepare for the worst: Keep your Polar Hood handy. Simply pull it over your Shell layer when conditions deteriorate for maximum protection.
  5. Adjust as needed: The beauty of this system is its flexibility. Too warm? Fold back the Shell mitten to expose your Liner. Need more dexterity? Use the foldable thumb feature.
