Good ol’ West German shell mittens of the mutant kind. These are quite indestructible and have a separate trigger finger, which is a really nice feature also for winter cyclists, photographers, and so on.

Good ol’ West German shell mittens of the mutant kind. These are quite indestructible and have a separate trigger finger, which is a really nice feature also for winter cyclists, photographers, and so on.

Normally these are worn with separate liner mittens, which we unfortunately didn't get with these. However you can wear them with the gloves of your choice (preferably woolen ones).

Features

Very simple, unlined winter mittens. Leather palm, no lining, adjustable wrist straps. The poly-cotton used on these has been waterproofed at some point, but we can't give any guarantees - some of these are over 40 years old.

Sizing

Note that this size is the palm width in centimeters. Multiply that by 2.54 and you get it in inches. There's room for the aforementioned insulating liner mitten, so there is no need to account for that. However, if you are in between two sizes, take the bigger.

Condition

Used German military surplus. These have been in production for decades, so the details and colors might vary a bit. We didn't notice signs of any rough use, just regular wear. You might get mittens that are not the original, matched pair but still a pair nevertheless and of the same size.

I just bought them because I forgot mine visiting my parents in law and I needed something to play outside in the snow with the kids. These are cheap and great. If you need mittens I would go for these eventhough might look too military. Grip is great and the quality is so good that apart of resistant to water and snow they are even warm just as they are. Nice fit, grip and very efficient. Ah, and mine were in perfect shape.

Excellent quality, unissued, size 8,5. The corresponding Swedish wool mittens were perfect as liners (in size medium/large). In fact, they fit so well that they act as lining rather than liners and remain inside the shell mittens when I extract my hand. This combination will provide a cheap and warm mitten solution this winter. Perhaps Varusteleka should consider sorting the batch of Swede mittens anyway?
