U.S. G.I. Outdoor Research Trigger Mitts

Cold-weather hand protection is always a negotiation between warmth and dexterity, and these U.S. G.I. Outdoor Research modular mitts solve that problem with a distinctive divided-finger design. Rather than enclosing every finger in one chamber, the trigger-finger configuration separates the hand into insulated sections, providing more control for operating tools, adjusting equipment, handling poles, or completing camp tasks without surrendering the heat-retaining advantages of a mitten. The black textile shells are paired with broad reinforced palm surfaces designed to withstand repeated contact and abrasion, while adjustable wrist straps help secure the fit and extended gauntlet cuffs overlap jacket sleeves to reduce exposure at the wrist. Drawcord closures at the cuff add another layer of weather management, and the embroidered Outdoor Research logo identifies a respected manufacturer of technical outdoor equipment. Used surplus condition with visible field wear, dust, scuffs, discoloration, and marks across the palms and shells; condition may vary slightly from pair to pair. Very serviceable for years of use. Size: XL. NSN: 8415-01-457-4781. Genuine U.S. military surplus. MADE IN USA. 

Expert Tips: Brush away loose dirt before cleaning and follow any interior care label that remains attached. Avoid high heat, bleach, and aggressive machine drying, as these can damage coatings, insulation, hook-and-loop closures, and reinforced palm materials. Allow the mitts to dry completely with the cuffs open before storage, and periodically clear debris from the hook-and-loop straps so they continue to grip securely. For extended periods outdoors, pair them with thin moisture-wicking liner gloves to improve comfort and preserve some hand protection when the outer mitts must be removed.
