Ultimate overmitts. Well worth having.

These are probably the only readily-available overmitts I've seen that cover the entire length of your arms. Why this hasn't been thought of before I don't know, but they are so useful. I'm not involved in kayaking or canoeing, but am always on the lookout for decent winter kit that I can wear when working with horses and around the stables.
As I'm a big fan of Transpire thermals which I've more or less lived in over many winters, I thought I'd give these overmitts a try. I found that they were big enough to wear thermal glove liners and fleece mittens inside - just what I need December/January time - and will comfortably fit over the sleeves of my thermal overalls. Self-locking drawcord buckles stop them from slipping down - excellent design.
Even though they are mitts, they still allow enough dexterity to carry buckets, operate water taps, fill haynets and do other stable jobs. They are definitely waterproof, plus they also keep out dirt and debris so my hands stay clean.
They also look suitable as overmitts for quad-biking / snowmobiling, but I haven't tried that yet.
Added to my existing Transpire thermal layers, these overmitts feel like another winner from Chillcheater and I hope to get many years' use out of them.
Incidentally, I still live in hope that Chillcheater might one day consider making Transpire thermal gloves - they would be perfect liners for these overmitts.
