Cinch Youth Mitt - Bones FAQ
Are the Cinch Youth Mitts actually waterproof for all-day snowboarding?
Yes. The Cinch Youth uses the 15K Dry-Claw Hipora membrane: a Crab Grab customized 3-layer waterproof breathable barrier with a microporous structure that blocks liquid water while letting sweat vapor escape. The shell also carries a PFAS Free DWR coating for surface water repellency. It's a fully waterproof build, not just water-resistant.
How warm are the Cinch Youth Mitts for cold mountain days?
The Cinch Youth uses HOT CLAW 100% recycled insulation paired with Micro Fruzz liners and Hand Sandwich Construction, which concentrates thicker insulation on the back of the hand where heat loss is greatest. It's a mid-weight build: warm enough for full mountain days without overheating during hard laps.
What youth sizes do the Cinch Youth Mitts come in?
The Cinch Youth Mitts are available in Youth S, M, and L. They're sized specifically for smaller hands, scaled down from the adult Cinch design rather than just being adult smalls relabeled. Crab Grab describes them as "legit mitts" built in youth-specific sizing, not a reduced version of an adult product.
Are the Cinch Youth Mitts made with sustainable materials?
Yes. The HOT CLAW insulation is 100% recycled and carries OEKO-TEX and BLUESIGN certifications. The shell fabric is OEKO-TEX certified and BLUESIGN approved. The DWR coating is PFAS free, and the mitts are Prop 65 compliant. Crab Grab has built meaningful sustainability credentials into even the youth version of the Cinch.
How grippy are the Cinch Youth Mitt palms?
The palms combine Grab-Ready coated palm surface material with PrimaLoft Grip-Control palm insulation underneath, which uses fibers structured to minimize lateral sliding for an anti-slip, stable contact point. The palm shell itself is Battle-Proof: 100% closed-cell PU that's durable, grippy, and waterproof in one material.
