Skogen Tiny Mitten

The Öjbro Skogen Tiny Mitten is a 4-layer wool mitten sized for ages 0–2. Soft and breathable, it keeps little hands warm without bulk, while a fleece lining adds extra comfort for cold-weather outings.

The Skogen pattern celebrates Sweden’s “everyman’s right” with a playful scene featuring the moose—king of the forest—chatting it up with a clever raven.

Use:  These mittens are made for serious cold, with a four-layer construction so warm that Öjbro marks them with their Varning Varma Vantar emblem—“Warning: Warm Mittens!” Each layer works like a mitten within a mitten, trapping insulating air for maximum warmth without extra bulk. The design is also wind resistant while still breathable, and the dense wool patterns add a touch of extra warmth.

Use:  These mittens are designed to keep your hands very warm in the coldest temps. The 4-layer construction is so warm, Öjbro has given it their Varning Varna Vantar emblem! What does that mean exactly? 

Varning Varma Vantar translates to Warning: Warm Mittens!

The triangular emblem that you'll see on these mittens emphasizes that there is something extra special about them: technically, they consist of 4 different mittens in one.

Each “mitten” has its function and the air trapped in the "mittens" and in between provides the best possible warmth without becoming unmanageable. It is the so-called "trapped" air that warms the mitten.

Thanks to 4 layers, the mitten is wind resistant, which in this case is better than windproof. Wind resistance lets the hand breathe.

The patterns are primarily aesthetic, but because they are built up with wool threads, the most content-rich patterns like this one are slightly warmer than the others.
