Soviet fur-flannel mittens, surplus
What's black, warm, and stinky? That's right, it's these Soviet army mittens! These traditional hand warmers look like something straight outta 1800s despite being Cold War or early 90's manufacture.

What's black, warm, and stinky? That's right, it's these Soviet army mittens! These traditional hand warmers look like something straight outta 1800s despite being Cold War or early 90's manufacture.
These have a separate trigger or tickling finger, but your hand will also fit inside the "mainspace" if you just want to keep warm without fiddling with things. The inside is lined with flannel and fur, these are superbly warm if not anything else. The top material is cotton, naturally. They're so heavy that if you manage to drop these in a campfire, the fire will just go out.
There may be different sizes or not, but all are pretty big.
Condition
Most are unissued, some are used, all require some proper airing and dusting out. The gulag smell will probably dissipate with use.
Remove Russia
Our old product descriptions include ironic praise of our eastern neighbor and it used to be good fun. Does it piss you off? We understand and agree. However, we won't whitewash the old product descriptions. Instead, we have decided to stop buying Russian products. We sell what we have in stock and that's it.

Very warm indeed. They have a patch of flannel along the inside of the wrist but are otherwise fully lined with fur (not sure about the 'trigger finger', though), something that is not evident from the picture. Mine are clearly NOS, unused and actually NOT dirty. The 'stink' is l definitely not as bad as with a lot of other surplus gear; not noteworthy at all with the pair I received. All in all 5 out of 5
