Description

These traditional style waxed canvas choppers with the removable chopper liners option allows quick drying and simple replacement of your insulation. The waxed canvas Choppers offer water resistance and are built from 10.10 oz. field tan canvas. The liners (available separately) are made in the USA by Fox River. They're currently available in size large, blended 50% wool, 50% acrylic. Our buckskin is locally sourced and has a durable yet supple texture. All of our buckskin comes from real, wild deer hides, so each one is a little different, making your pair one-of-a-kind. There may be some scarring in the leather, which is natural with a product that comes from the wilds of North America, and it helps make your Choppers just that much more unique, more authentic and more personal. Frost River mittens and choppers are sized to be roomy -- just right for frigid Minnesota winters. Take a look at the sizing chart in the image gallery to see which size of our mitts will fit you best.

    Raw Reliability

The Frost River Guarantee: These mitts and choppers are tough. But if you wear ‘em like they’re work gloves, expect that they will eventually wear out. We guarantee all our reliable softgoods to hold together, that the hardware will do its job, but don’t mistake that for a claim they’ll last forever. We stand behind our work and take pride in making good stuff. However, if you use anything made from canvas and leather long enough and hard enough, you’ll need to eventually repair it, and sometimes replace it. When that time comes, we hope you choose to replace it with another Frost River item. What’s the guarantee cover on mittens? We’ll cover that the seams will hold, the elastic will stay in place, and on the Great Northern Choppers the brass clasp will last and work as long as the mitts hold together. Other than that, repairs for holes, rope-tows chewing through, or dogs discovering the deliciousness of your mitts etc. would fall under the “repair at a reasonable rate” clause if they're still repairable.

Run big

The gloves are too big for my hands even after using the sizing chart. Order a size smaller. Wish I could return and get different pair.

Best chopper mitts!

My husband loved these so much we bought a pair for our son too. We were grateful for the sizing chart and others telling us how large they run.

Husband and Son Love Them!

When MN has its typical bone chilling winters these choppers are up to the challenge!

Nicely made but they run very large

I ordered these mittens in small for a gift hoping they would fit an average size woman but they don’t (unless you put a very bulky liner inside). And unfortunately, they don’t come in a smaller size. The large size is ridiculously HUGE so they don’t fit my husband either (as they were intended as a gift, it is my fault for not measuring his hands and looking at the sizing chart). Will exchange them. I wish it would state that they run so large in the product description.
