    Sent them a email last night and Shannon got right back to me. Always a good sign. Here's a pic of their new mitten prototypes.

    There are three pairs in existence (all different animals though) - his, mine and a pair that was stolen from the girlfriend of a patroller, who had them made for her birthday. If you see a pair looking something like this, beat the shit out of whoever has them, take the gloves back and let me know.

    No membrane layer? Not waterproof on soft-shell side. DWR is not waterproofing...

    I can't wait to rock those, they look good.

    Was going to mention the same thing, but thought it best to ignore Dastroll. fact is Laminated membranes for waterproofing suck, I'd rather take the chance some water makes it into the glove than stewing in my own sweat everyday.

    Yup. Super interested. Any codes?

    And how is the sizing compared to Hestra? Is a 9 Hestra the same as a 9 Free the Powder glove?

    Removable liners have always sucked for me. When I pull my sweaty hand out the liner turns inside out. Then the liner won't go back in the fingers. Finally I remove the liner, put it on my hand and then slide my liner/hand back in the glove. No thank you.

    Exactly. Hate liners. I pull my gloves off constantly while touring and Trying to get my liners back into the right finger holes Is a pet peeve of mine


    They are sending me a couple samples for Ullrfest.

    Holy shit, the gloves go here today. Never expected them to get here that fast.

    On sizing...I'm a solid 9 in Hestra's and the larges fit nice and snug.

    These are substantial gloves, not something that looks like it will fail halfway through a season. Gotta get some Hestra leather balm on them and break them in. The certainly feel like they will be toasty warm.

    Pretty stoked for the level of quality at their price point.

    I'll buy a pair code or no code and use them a lot. Like, not just the weekends.

    For $60 freethepowderstoatman managed to make a glove with the the index finger and thumb reinforced in the right spot. Apparently it isn't that hard to do after all yet how that basic bit of user-knowledge eluded $150 glove designers I'll never know nor respect fuckem.

    You just perfectly described a non removable liner. And I hate them as well.

    These gloves would be better, and probably cheaper to make, if they had removable liners.

    I always wished I could roll with just the Kinco's but I need something toastier. These look awesome.
    I hate a liner too. trying to get sweaty hands back into a linered glove is the worst.

    fwiw I like the ermine logo- they're badass. but I also dig cute white animals

    His name's Thurmin.

    He could do with a little more attention to the ear artwork. The rest is perfection.

    Thanks for the feedback MNIAW (can I just call you Wharfy?), sounds like they are worthy of a try.

    true- a lightweight fitted one could be ok as long as it's not connected. I have the swany toaster mitts with the little smokers zipper and thin glove attached -but the fingers still catch up even being able to reach thru the zipper to pull them on when I get sweaty. I thought I wd like the access to the glove without having to totally take them off because I'm always screwing around with my gear but it's such a pita

    I've never had an issue like that with the liners on my Hestras, I really like being able to switch a wet liner out with a dry liner if they wet out.

    But each to his own

    Yup. Too bad the Free the Powders don't have removable liners a la Hestra.
