Cold-weather hand protection therefore became an essential part of the aircrew equipment system.\n\nOur N-4B is a carefully made reproduction inspired by U.S. Air Force cold-weather flight mittens of this period, recreating their distinctive oversized mitten construction, extended gauntlet cuffs, adjustment straps and insulated design.\n\nThe long gauntlet-style cuffs provide additional coverage around the wrist and lower arm, while multiple adjustment straps allow the mittens to be secured over cold-weather flight clothing. The insulated construction is designed to reflect the heavy-duty cold-weather equipment used by high-altitude aircrews during the early Cold War period.\n\nTwo color versions are available:\n\n• Olive Green\nClassic military-style nylon shell with warm insulated mitten construction.\n\n• Dark Blue\nDark blue nylon gauntlet construction combined with black leather hand sections, reflecting the distinctive appearance of early U.S. Air Force cold-weather equipment.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Large","offer_id":51259804745895,"sku":"N4B-5","price":58.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":51259804778663,"sku":"N4B-6","price":58.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/7788\/1767\/files\/f6ef611b-il_fullxfull.8432845641_b0pi.jpg?v=1787709358","url":"https:\/\/rtwbheritage.com\/products\/n-4b-flight-mittens-reproduction-korean-war-era-usaf-cold-weather-gloves-military-aviation-winter-mittens","provider":"RTWB Heritage Clothing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
