Champ Mitt - True Black FAQ
How does the Easy-Cuff entry actually work?
Easy-Cuff is Crab Grab's entry system on the Champ Mitt. Instead of a tight gauntlet closure you have to wrestle on and off, the Easy-Cuff design makes slipping the mitt on and off throughout the day effortless. Crab Grab describes it as "addictively easy" for the constant on-off of a full snowboard day.
How warm is the PrimaLoft insulation in the Champ Mitt?
PrimaLoft was originally developed for the US military as a water-resistant synthetic alternative to down insulation. In the Champ Mitt, it delivers down-level warmth while excelling in wet environments. Combined with Waffle Grid Fleece liners and Hand Sandwich Construction, the Champ Mitt earns its Mid Weight PLUS classification for serious cold-weather performance.
Is the vegan leather exterior on the Champ Mitt actually durable?
Yes. The exterior uses AX Laredo, developed by Crab Grab as a direct alternative to goat leather. It matches goat leather for dexterity while providing exceptional durability and meaningful sustainability benefits. The King Crab Shell beneath it is the premium shell construction in the Crab Grab lineup, adding another layer of structural protection.
How waterproof are the Champ Mitts?
The Champ Mitt uses the 15K Dry-Claw Hipora membrane: a customized 3-layer waterproof breathable barrier that blocks liquid water while allowing sweat vapor to escape. The shell carries a PFAS Free DWR coating, and the heavy-duty woven nylon is laminated and high-denier. It's built for full-day exposure to wet snow.
What makes the Champ Mitt the flagship over other Crab Grab mitts?
The Champ Mitt stacks the best of everything: PrimaLoft insulation instead of standard HOT CLAW, Waffle Grid Fleece liners instead of Micro Fruzz, the Easy-Cuff entry system, AX Laredo vegan leather exterior, and the King Crab Shell (the premium shell in the catalog). It's the top-tier option in the Crab Grab mitt range.
