Insulated Pogies<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Golly do my hands get cold easily. And when they get cold, it’s hard to brake; it’s hard or impossible to open snack wrappers; it’s hard to access and put on layers. So yeah, pretty vital that I keep my hands operational.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Design process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    First, I traced out the profile of the dropbar, hoods, and levers. I used this as the starting point to rough out initial patterns, basically two vertical sides, two wedges to create width, and a cuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From these patterns, I built a mockup from some scrap tent fabric to test out the fit and identify any clearance issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After a few minor tweaks, I constructed the first functional prototype, which I’m currently field-testing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    The Design & Remaining Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The first prototype is made mosly from a 10 denier WPB (waterproof\/breathable) fabric and is insulated with a layer of 4oz Primaloft Gold. The leading edge\/top have 1\/8″ foam in place of the insulation to help provide some shape while still being insulative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After some early spring testing here in Montana, I’ll make my final fabric selections and construct the pogies I’ll use on the Divide. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
