While I can think of fewer things colder than being at altitude up in the mountains in the back of a bird as a crew chief or gunner, I can think of my own time humping a belt fed and laying in the cold and snow for hours on end waiting for bad people.\u00a0 Yeah, the aircrews might get this before anyone else, but I can think of other MOSs that can use it as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve started a long term review on these, and they work just the way the pictures show.\u00a0 However, they are so warm that I&#8217;ve found I need colder weather to really get a solid review up.\u00a0 Check back in another month or so, and I&#8217;ll let you know how they do when the weather gets extra nasty.\u00a0\u00a0 Click the picture for specs from the manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[nggallery id=470]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">more<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/military.outdoorresearch.com\/gov\/or-gear\/handwear\/gloves-and-mitts\/fr-swoop-mitt-shells.html\">http:\/\/military.outdoorresearch.com\/gov\/or-gear\/handwear\/gloves-and-mitts\/fr-swoop-mitt-shells.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Waterproof breathable FR shell designed for extremely cold conditions at high altitudes without compromising dexterity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developed for pilots and aviation crews in extremely cold conditions at high altitudes, the FR shell of the Swoop System<sup>\u2122<\/sup> provides the ultimate protection from flame and melting for shorter duration missions, all air crews, and missions returning at night. These shells are waterproof and breathable with superior tactility and dexterity for mechanical environments where precision is essential. The FR goat-leather palm is water resistant and provides a solid grip.
