    I swear sometimes for growing up in ND my beautiful bride is citified. Some of the stuff she has never heard of pr is it just me???? I have a pair, my 91 year old neighbor has talked about them, my wife's mother even knew what they were, yet my wife claims to have until yesterday never heard of "chopper mittens". The good old leather mittens with nice warm cloth liners. Have you heard of them, or what do you call them?

    Choppers is only thing I've heard them called.

    It's been a while since I've heard them called that, but then again, I hate mittens, and use gloves.

    I've never heard chopper referencing gloves. Only bikes, helicopters, and AK47s.

    Well then, C'mon up here!

    Be sure to stop along the way and pick up a pair. We used to wear them for the serious winter weather (-0) when we were playing outside. They were warmer than the just plain wool mittens and the leather added quite a degree of waterproofing. For awhile anyway!
