The Network mitt in the Howl range offers more durability in a premium mitt. Lets face it we all like to drag a hand or two when on a full on carve or dip a hand in the pow as you are screaming through the trees. This takes it toll on gloves but the Network is here to ehlp. For those riders who need a rugged mitt for their trip to the mountains with premium features like goat leather & warm & dry 10k/10k insert the network is a winnner. The Alpine grip palm & the tricot lining will help any rider keep them clean & dry plus real leather reinforcement to the tips & down the outside of the mitt keep these going longer.
