Hats, Socks & Gloves

Simply glorious!...keep your hands warm and comfortable.

Dachstein style woollen Mittens are surely nearly as old as the hills themselves but, they’re still the favourite of many a seasoned hill-walker or mountaineer - and for good reason. Dachstein Mittens are handcrafted from 100 percent boiled wool and are then pre-shrunk to an expedition-weight thick woollen felt making them amongst the most weather-proof in the world.

Like all Woollen garments, they stay warm even when wet although, in the main they remain in use exceptionally water repellent.

Often seen is light-grey, our Dachstein Mittens are made from wool in a beautiful natural green shade which is subtle and low-tone; making them ideal for all outdoor activities including still-stalking (high-seat or ground butt), bushcraft, winter hillwalking, general mountaineering and wild-life observation; as used by Scottish winter climbers, alpinists, and even himalayan expeditioneers for over 50 years.

Not waterproof, but when used in snow, an icy skin forms over the mitt which is very effective at keeping hands exceptionally warm; highly windproof and very durable.
