Crafted for the adventurers who brave the snow and cold, the Empire Builder Mittens pay tribute to the legendary Empire Builder railroad line, a symbol of rugged determination and pioneering spirit. These mittens are designed to handle the harshest winter weather, much like the iconic trains that forged a path through America’s untamed wilderness.

Built with our tough, water-resistant 18oz waxed canvas and reinforced buckskin leather palms, these mittens are built to endure. The buckskin, sourced from the heart of the Midwest, provides a secure grip—perfect for chopping firewood, hauling gear, riding the rope-tow, or just keeping your hands warm while waiting for that first cup of camp coffee to brew. Inside, the mittens are lined with soft fleece, wrapping your hands in warmth and comfort, while a wrist cinch ensures a snug fit that seals out the chill.
