collings Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) Hi, I am making down mittens with a G-tex over shell.... these are rough prototypes and hope to make at least 50 more to hone my design. I thought I'd put these out there for suggestions and to gauge interest in.... 1. would you like to see the progression of proto's 2. would you be interested in checking them out (as later proto's would sell for $30-60 a pair. 3. would you be interested in testing, reviewing (possibly endorsing) at no cost / you keep em. keep in mind these are rough photos and depending on interest and input ... I'll post some pic's 30 or so mitt's down the line ... much appreciated ! Edited January 5, 2010 by collings Quote
JBo6 Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) Those are pretty nice looking. It would be really cool to see updates as you make more. Do they have a liner and shell or just one piece? What are you using for an outer layer? Edit: Nevermind, I tried rereading your post. They do look really neat. Edited January 10, 2010 by JBo6 Quote
