Great gloves and refreshing to see a local company that will stand behind their product! I purchased a pair of the Garbage Mitts in Iqaluit in February of 2020. They performed much better than my $200 Canada Goose gloves at a fraction of the cost. I work as a pilot in the Arctic and so these mitts definitely get used a great deal, basically every time I'm outside while working. Over the course of a year the leather on one of the mitts wore thin and eventually a hole developed in the palm. I reached out to the company regarding replacement of the damaged mitt. Within an hour Howard Raber, one of the company executives, wrote me back and offered to send me a new pair free of charge. As I live in Winnipeg, I said I'd just swing by to grab them. I went a couple weeks later and he was happy to show me around the facility, show me their "Arctic Mitts" which I'll likely purchase at a later time, and gave me a replacement pair of Garbage Mitts. It's extremely refreshing these days, where great customer service is such a rarity, to see a local company go above and beyond to stand behind their products. I'll definitely be a customer for life and recommend their products to everyone.
We recently purchased several pairs of these awesome mitts. I cannot say enough good things about them. Firstly the quality is top notch. Great style (who doesn't like the classic "garbage mitts" style?!), and a full range of sizes for the perfect fit. But the best feature of all, is the warmth. I have compromised circulation in one of my fingers which results in my little finger freezing within minutes on these cold Winnipeg days. I have tried many, many mitts over the years...none compare with these Raber mitts. None. Snow blowing, shovelling, walking, hiking...warm hands! Thank you Raber Gloves!
It seems rare these days to find a high quality Canadian designed product that is also made in Canada. Raber Glove, a long time family business in Winnipeg, checks all the boxes. I highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed.
Simply put, these are the best gloves ever. Second to none for durablity, warmth and comfort. Highly recommend any person that does anything outdoors in the winter purchase a pair. You will not regret it. Who better to produce gloves and mitts for Winnipeg winter's than a local Winnipeg company.
