US GI COYOTE OUTDOOR RESEARCH LINED MITTENS USED

Authentic US GI-issue Outdoor Research extreme cold weather mittens in coyote brown, built to the military specification for cold, wet, and windy operating environments. These are the real deal — originally issued to US service members and passed through the surplus channel, not a modern remake. The unmistakable embroidered OR logo on the back of the hand and the coyote colorway confirm the ECWCS-era contract origin.

Designed as the outer shell mitt in a layered handwear system, these mittens combine a waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX® shell with a durable leather palm, insulated back-of-hand panel, and a fleece-lined interior. The result is serious cold-weather protection for hunters glassing from a stand, ice fishermen, snowmobilers, backcountry skiers, winter hikers, and anyone who works or plays in genuinely nasty weather. For preppers and cold-climate outdoorsmen who prefer proven military-issue kit over consumer-grade gloves, this is a strong shelf item.

Construction & Materials

• GORE-TEX® shell — waterproof and windproof, keeps hands and insulation dry in snow, sleet, and rain
• Full leather palm and thumb — grip, abrasion resistance, and a natural leather patina that ages beautifully
• 170-gram EnduraLoft™ insulation on the thumb and back of hand for lightweight, packable warmth
• Moonlite Pile fleece palm lining — compression-resistant loft that stays warm even when you're gripping a rifle stock, ski pole, or throttle
• Anatomical, boxed-finger construction with a 3-panel thumb for real dexterity — you can actually work zippers, buckles, and triggers
• MonoCinch™ gauntlet closure with shock-cord and toggle to seal out snow and drafts
• Removable wrist leash so a mitt pulled off for a quick task doesn't disappear into a snowbank

Who It's For

Cold-weather hunters, winter campers, ice anglers, snowmobilers, ski tourers, tactical and military surplus collectors, and everyday wearers who want a rugged, coyote-brown mitten with legitimate military-issue provenance. The clean coyote colorway also plays nicely with earth-tone winter wardrobes for the fashion-leaning customer who appreciates authentic technical outerwear.

Condition — Genuine Used Surplus

These are previously issued and will show honest field-use character — light scuffing, softening of the leather, minor discoloration, and the occasional field mark are part of the story. All functional components (shell, insulation, closures, leash) remain serviceable. This is authenticity, not a defect — and it's exactly what collectors and end users of genuine surplus expect.

Important

Liners are not included. These are the outer shell mittens of the layered system. Pair with an appropriate fleece or wool liner glove for the intended cold-weather performance — a natural add-on-sale opportunity at the register.
