Arctic Wave has created a sustainable children's jacket with built-in mitts. No more losing mittens, since they are a part of every jacket we make. The kids have the option to have their hands free or use the mittens with these warm and durable jackets. A little about how we got here... Like many moms of young children who live in a colder climate, I have bought what feels like hundreds of mittens/gloves over the years. Where do they disappear to? How is it possible to lose that many individuals or pairs of mittens? I equate it to the mystery of disappearing socks... Although the clips, strings, and snap solutions are all great, those pesky hand warmers seemed to keep disappearing. I thought there had to be a better way. How could I make our mornings less stressful and chaotic? How could I prevent my three kiddos from losing one or both of their mittens on what seemed like a weekly, or daily basis? How could I prevent their little wrists from getting snow on them every time they played outside? I searched and couldn't find what I wanted: a warm, sustainable children's winter jacket with attached mittens. So I started sketching, asking my kids along with friends' kids for guidance on color schemes, design, functionality, etc. because let's face it, who else will give you the most direct and honest feedback you could ask for?! From there, on to production and sample after sample until we got the design right! And so Arctic Wave was born...
