Striker Brands - Striker Ice Mitt Review

Striker Brands – Striker Ice Mitts

Product Review – 09/29/2012

A few weeks back (during the Olympics) Striker Brands LLC was running a contest on their Facebook page. The deal was to see who could recommend the most people and get the most people to like the Striker page.  I ended up winning and getting a pair of the Striker Ice mitts.

Fast forward a week or two later and I get a package in the mail.

First impressions – The Mitts fit well and seemed very well constructed. They slid on easy and were adjustable in the wrist as well as up the cuff to keep water and cold air out. The knuckle section on the top of the mitt is padded and looks to be re enforced. One other Positive is that on the Velcro wrist strap they have added a Giant elastic loop for tightening. I think this will work great when cinching down the wrist to keep the mitt tight. I also noticed that the top of the mitt has a small zippered pocket. I want to say this is for a small hand warmer pouch, for the really cold days.

Now I only found one negative about the mitt.  The zippered pouch on the top of the mitt is small and awkward since it butts right up against the Velcro cinch on the wrist.

I took the time to find the stats on the Mitt from Striker Brands web page. They are as follows –

      Waterproof and breathable

      150g Thermadex insulation

      Ergonomic fit

      Easy on/off design

      Velcro pull closure large enough to use with mitts on

      Integrated pockets on the top of hand for heat packs

All in all this Mitt is very well designed and looks very durable. I hope to have the New "Climate" suit in hand within a few weeks to give a full review on as well! I cannot wait for first ice. Please visit  Http://www.strikerice.com to check out the full line of gear from striker!
