The Batmitt

Batmitts were designed in 1990 by Peter Larsen. They were created specifically for the Iditabike mountain bike race, a grueling 200 mile race across snow. Batwaves bought the pattern and began marketing to snowboarders. Since that time thousands of days, not hours, have gone into research and development. A great number of people were involved in many ways over a long period of time. The end result is what it is. Batmitts are the most practical mitt design on the planet. They are the most durable. 18 years tried and true. I think that our competition wants to be what we are. The real deal.
From time to time I get questioned about the mitts. Rightfully so, and yes, for some of you, we have been taking a long time. I suppose we could have produced a bunch for last season. We could have rushed, it is easy to get caught up in the moment. Instead though, we have produced a few pair. Del Sanborn has been very instrumental in getting us through an immense learning curve. The Batmitt, while perhaps simple in appearance, has been refined over the years to optimize it's performance and durability. Del, Chase, and Dave Sanborn, along with Keith Snyder put their heart and soul into it's creation. It wouldn't be right to produce the mitt half assed.
We will have Batmitts soon. Our quality will not be compromised. We will be at the standard everybody expects and knows, guaranteed. They are not produced in China. Each and every piece and part that goes into Batmitts is made in the United States. They are put together by real people in north Idaho.
I guess it works both ways. By not having them available yet, We are allowing everybody enough time to get their tax stimulus check so they can buy them. Take it easy- Josh
