Two Little Kittens, they KEPT their MITT-ONS ~ GIVEAWAY! (Closed)

Have you ever sent your kids out to play, only to have the mittens come off, or snow get in the sleeves? So you as a parent are constantly looking for the lost mitten or you have to go inside early because there's snow inside your child's sleeve or mitt and they've gotten chilled.  ONS GEAR has solved the age-old problem of children’s mittens falling off (usually with help!) and snow getting in between the coat and the mitt. These mittens are great!!!! I remember having some with a long cuff as a child and I'd often wondered why I couldn't find any now for our kids. As soon as I saw these MITT-ONS, I knew this was the answer for our kids. The inventors of MITT-ONS are parents themselves, with 2 children under 5, trying to enjoy Canadian winters with their family. MITT-ONS™ are available in 3 colours and 3 sizes and can be purchased exclusively on-line at the ONS GEAR e-store.

MITT-ONS™ are innovative Thinsulate waterproof mittens which stop snow from getting in, keeping little hands warm and dry! The best thing about MITT-ONS™ is the long fleece sleeve to the elbow attached to the rest of the mitt by a zipper at the wrist for easy access to hands. This also gives you the option of wearing them without the fleece sleeve. Other features are:

• an adjustable wrist strap;
• a fleece lining attached in the thumb and in the fingers part (so the thumb lining can't come out on it's own – how clever is that!);
• a grippy surface on the palm – pushing a shovel, holding on to a toboggan or grabbing toys is much easier;
• a rip-resistant tip;
• a cotton thumb for runny noses.

Jonathan and Daniel were both sent a pair of MITT-ONS to try out, and we've been having some perfect snow-play weather to test them! :) And, we've been able to play outside much longer than other times, as everyone is warm and dry and no one has snow in their mitts or sleeves, well at least the kids don't! :) Now, if only we could get something that would keep the snow out of our own mitts/gloves! :)

Although they're a bit big for Daniel, he's still been wearing them, and he's been nice and toasty. His whole hand fits in the “fingers part”, but he has that with most mitts anyway – it's hard to get his little thumb coordinated! He's so little there's more outerwear than boy when I send him outside! :)

The fleece sleeve goes past Jonathan's elbow (almost to his armpit), and helps to keep his arms warm. I love the wrist zipper – it's great for reaching in and pulling up shirt sleeves that got away! :) The adjustable strap at the wrist helps make the mittens go on a lot easier and fit better. And, just like his dad, Jonathan really took to the cotton thumb and loves to rub his drippy nose! :) (ewww!) When the kids come in and we pull off their MITT-ONS, their hands, arms and wrists are nice and warm and dry – something we didn't have with other mitts.
