The Warm Up
Ear Mitts® Bandless Ear Muffs
February/March 2007



PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL HAD IT WRONG!

Winter is here...As a blizzard roars across the Midwest and into the Northeast, bringing snow and ice and sleet...snow piling up to the rooftops...


This February has reminded us that
winter always comes!

Hopefully, now everyone will realize why Ear Mitts® with 100 Gram Thinsulate™ Insulation is winter's MUST HAVE accessory.
Remember, Ear Mitts® are tested to minus 60 degrees Fahrenheit!

"When your ears are warm, your entire body is warm!"SM

Thinsulate™ Insulation
Inch for inch, no other insulation keeps you warmer than Thinsulate™ Insulation. In fact,when you compare equal thicknesses, Thinsulate™ Insulation provides twice the warmth of other high-loft insulating materials and nearly one-and-a-half times the warmth of down.
