Free Trade

Well we have met the standard. Batmitts are back. The legend continues. Apparently from what I can find, we are the only snowboard mitt manufacturer in the United States. I am a sheltered North Idaho boy though, I may be wrong. In a way, I hope I am wrong. What happened? The U.S. has gone soft. Want to know why your mitts or gloves don't hold up? It is because they are made with B grade materials. The fabrics used are spin offs of the real stuff. We use 1000 denier Cordura. The closest thing to compare to ours is made with Kadura. Looks the same on the shelf, lasts half the time.
We aren't changing the standard of our mitt. 100% of materials are domestic. We have spent hundreds of hours locating and testing sample fabric in order to insure durability. Every detail is as it should be. We wouldn't have it otherwise.
I was reading Transworld the other day and read a letter to the editor about which companies were Free Trade and the like. I can say that as of now, Batwaves is not yet part of that band wagon. We are however, producing snowboarding mitts locally, in the U.S.. And we pay our people a good wage. I wonder if I was a part of Free Trade if they would give back to us for putting thier logo in our stuff. Isn't that what it is really all about? Our mittens are the most durable practical design there is. Give them a shot- you will love them.
