Brushtail Possum Mittens by Zpacks

Ships in 1-2 business days | Based in West Melbourne, FL | Est. 2004

Winter weather can be harsh, but when the digits drop yours don’t have to feel the chill. Made from a combination of New Zealand’s brushtail possum fur, and New Zealand Merino lamb’s wool, these Brushtail Possum mittens provide plenty of warmth when you need it most.

The mittens help keep your hands warm and cozy on those cold fall and winter nights.

The hair of brushtail possum is hollow, just like Polar Bear hair, which provides incredible warmth and water resistant. While typical wool socks may stay warm when wet, they take forever to dry. If you get these mitts wet, the water shakes right out and they dry quickly.

New Zealand’s possums are unrelated to the opossums found in the United States. They are super cute, but they are also an invasive species that destroy the native plant and bird life.

Fit: These mittens are stretchy, but they run a bit small. They may shrink a bit if they are dried in a dryer. It is better to size up if on the line.
