Lightweight gloves with a valve for warmth

MITTI are 60gr. lightweight, warming mittens that you can take with you on any mountain tour. Filled with recycled fleece on the upper side, they keep cold hands warm. Warm air can also be blown in through a valve.

The question at the beginning was:

What gives you comfort?

In a quick and iterative prototyping phase, I created several mock-ups where I experimented with the shape of the mitten and how the fleece inside behaves. The area around the wrist was tricky, as I didn‘t want to incorporate an elastic band and therefore had to make the entrance at the wrist “elastic” despite the woven fabric.
