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.

My driest pair of mitts

I bought a pair while on a drive up to Ely for a snow carving event. I usually wear one pair of gloves a day during these events because I sweat through every fiber. These mitts, though, lasted the entire week. I swapped in a fresh wool liner every day, but the canvas shell was reliably dry.

After 40 hours of heavy activity, I started to see some wear on the leather and I rubbed off all of the wax. This was likely because the fit is a bit loose in the fingers, which makes gripping tools a bit challenging (they run big). To be fair, these weren't marketed for the use I put them through, but I will for sure buy a second pair when I eventually wear these out.

Uniquely cool mittens

I’ve been using these gloves for over two weeks. The weather in Alaska has ranged from -2 to 35 with rain and snow. I’ve been very impressed how warm and water repellent they are. They definitely run big so make sure to use the fit guide. Im 6’4” and 250lbs. I normally wear 1x- 2xx gloves. I bought these in large and they fit perfect.

Good mitten

Well built mittens, feel like they should last a long time. I normally wear size large gloves but got these in medium. I use jersey gloves or ragwool liners inside and the fit is good.

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.
