Product description

MATCESAR keeps small hands warm and dry through winter play, nursery journeys and snowy outdoor days, with a waterproof recycled-nylon shell, Thinsulate padding and a soft fleece lining. The front zip opens the mitten fully rather than requiring a child to force their hand through a narrow opening, which is what makes getting them on and off quick enough for a toddler or preschooler to manage with minimal help. Elastic at the wrist and around the top edge holds the mitten securely in place, keeping snow and rain out during active play, while a hook-and-loop strap fastens to the D-loops found on MINI A TURE jackets and snowsuits so the mittens stay with the coat rather than disappearing at the end of a session.

The 12,000 mm (WP) rating describes the outer fabric's resistance to water pressure, but it is the construction as a whole that determines whether a mitten stays waterproof during real use. Taped seams would be needed to make the complete mitten genuinely waterproof; without them, water can still enter through the stitching during prolonged exposure to wet snow or rain, so MATCESAR is highly water-repellent rather than fully waterproof. The fluorine-free Bionic Finish Eco treatment helps light rain and snow bead away from the surface, extending the time before moisture reaches the stitching.

Thinsulate padding provides insulation without the bulk that restricts finger movement in heavily padded mittens, while the soft fleece lining sits comfortably against the skin. The 8,000 g/m²/24h breathability rating helps moisture from active hands escape rather than building up inside the mitten, reducing the damp feeling that can follow energetic outdoor play in less breathable handwear. A 50,000+ Martindale abrasion result supports repeated contact with snow, ice, playground equipment and the ground, which is the kind of wear mittens meet when a child is playing rather than simply walking.

The mitten shape, with all fingers together rather than separated, holds warmth more effectively than individual-finger gloves do for younger children, and the simple construction makes them easier to pull on without needing to align each finger correctly. Reflective details rated at 70 lux keep hands visible to drivers from up to 300 metres in low light, adding a safety element during early-morning or late-afternoon journeys.

Technical Overview

• Waterproof-rated outer fabric (12,000 mm WP); highly water-repellent rather than fully waterproof due to untaped seams
• Windproof construction blocks cold air from reaching the hands
• 8,000 g/m²/24h breathability helps moisture escape during active play
• Thinsulate padding adds warmth without restricting finger movement
• Soft fleece lining sits comfortably against the skin
• Front zip opens the mitten fully for quick, independent dressing
• Elastic at wrist and top edge keeps the mitten secure and seals out snow
• Hook-and-loop strap attaches to D-loops on MINI A TURE jackets and snowsuits
• 50,000+ Martindale abrasion rating withstands repeated outdoor wear
• Fluorine-free Bionic Finish Eco treatment beads light rain and snow off the surface
• 70 lux reflective details keep hands visible to drivers from up to 300 m in low light
• 100% recycled polyamide outer

Wash inside out at or below 30°C on a delicate cycle; tumble dry on low heat. Fasten the hook-and-loop strap to the jacket's D-loops before heading out so the mittens stay together with the coat.
