US GI OD M65 TF MITTENS NO/LINER USED

The U.S. GI M-65 Trigger Finger Mittens are a genuine piece of American cold-weather military history — purpose-built for soldiers operating in deep-freeze environments where standard gloves simply can't keep up. With a tough OD green cotton/polyester shell, a full leather palm and trigger-finger panel, and a long elastic gauntlet cuff, this iconic shooter's mitten has been keeping hands warm and weapons running since the Vietnam era. These are used military surplus in serviceable condition and are sold without the wool liners, giving your customers an affordable shell that pairs with their own insulating gloves or liners of choice.

The split-finger "trigger finger" design is the defining feature: the index finger is isolated from the main mitten compartment so the wearer can operate a rifle, sidearm, knife, zipper, or hand tool without exposing bare skin to the elements. That makes this a genuinely versatile piece — equally at home with hunters glassing a tree line, ice fishermen working a tip-up, snowmobilers, trappers, and military reenactors recreating Korea, Vietnam, or Cold-War-era kit. The OD green and natural leather color combination also has a strong vintage-military fashion appeal, drawing in surplus collectors and streetwear-leaning buyers who want the real deal rather than a reproduction.

Construction & Materials

• Shell: Olive Drab cotton/polyester sateen — abrasion-resistant and wind-blocking
• Palm, thumb & trigger finger: Full-grain leather for grip, durability, and weapon handling
• Cuff: Long elastic gauntlet that seals over jacket sleeves to keep snow and wind out
• Adjustment: Webbing wrist strap with friction buckle for a snug fit
• Pull tab: Sewn loop at the cuff hem for quick on/off with cold-stiff fingers

Ideal End-User Applications

• Cold-weather hunting — the trigger finger is built for exactly this
