A Brand on a Mission - Our Purpose
MITTENS FOR ALL
Our mission is to make a positive impact on families through our products and our contributions to organizations that set out to better our children's future.
We are proud to donate 20% of our profits to non-profit organizations who promote children's wellness in the winter.
We believe that everyone should have access to warm clothing. Our program, Mittens For All, will help contribute to that cause.
A MITTEN DESIGNED WITH KIDS & PARENTS IN MIND
Dedicated to the snow angels and snowball slingers
The igloo builders, sledders, and ski-run shredders
The queens of the mountain and kings of the rink
From crisp mornings at the bus stop to long nights around the bonfire
In flurries and polar winds, squalls and snowmageddon
We stand with winter kids, at home outside whatever the weather
ABOUT OUR PRODUCT
All children deserve to be comfortable and confident in nature. Chopper Mill mittens are made with premium materials including 3M Thinsulate, Hipora, goat leather and cordura performance fabric.
Our product manufacturing is managed by a Minnesota manufacturer who has a United States employed manager on-site in the factory in China. This individual oversees all operations and production of our product. Additionally, the team in Minnesota is in constant contact with that manager to ensure that our high ethical standards are met.
In addition to internal audits, 3rd-party organizational audits are also done throughout the year to ensure the highest quality working conditions. They are there to ensure lawful, ethical, humane & safe manufacturing practices.
All customization is done locally in Minneapolis, Minnesota where we hand cut, sew, and stamp every patch that goes on your child's Chopper Mill mitten.
re/PAIR® Plan
KEEPING FAMILIES COVERED WHEN ONE GOES MISSING
Childhood is too short, and winter is too long, for mittens that can’t keep up. So we created the re/PAIR® Plan to keep families covered when one goes missing. It’s just one way we help families do winter right. And we’re just warming up.
Designed for Childhood
MAKING COMFORTING COMPANIONS
When our son was 5 years old, he had a very special pair of mittens. They were warm and cozy and fit him perfectly. But the connection went deeper. His mittens were comforting companions. Wearing them, he felt ready for anything and excited to get out and go. He eventually grew out of the mittens. But he never lost his love of winter adventures.
DESIGNED FOR GENERATIONS
When kids feel comfortable and confident outdoors, they love winter more—and get more out of it. That’s what inspired Chopper Mill.
We’re building the world’s best mitten company for kids, crafting products worthy of the amazing people they protect.
Our mittens are designed for generations of outdoor fun, made to withstand anything northern winters throw at us.
"We absolutely love our Chopper Mill mittens! Our family got them at the end of the winter last year and my kiddos (6 of them, ages 10 and under) wasted no time breaking them in!.."

"Cannot say enough about these mittens. My kiddos (ages 2-12) wore them to our snowboard trip to the North Shore in MN in late winter. They were able to be out ALL day, in windy, blowing snow, and have warm hands. Not only are they stylish, personalized, and super functional, I love that we will be able to get a replacement mitten when one [inevitably] doesn't make its way home..."

"Best mittens we’ve ever purchased. Warm, dry, stay on, superb quality and design. My son loves to work and build outdoors and if the gloves are too cumbersome he won’t wear them. These are flexible allowing for all that good fine motor skill development without sacrificing warmth and protection. Worth every penny and more !! Not to mention, mama owned and developed . Can’t give enough stars ❤️"

"We have three children, ages 3, 9 and 11, and couldn't be happier with our choice to purchase these Chopper Mill mittens. The investment is well worth keeping the little (and big) hands cozy, warm and dry for hours of outside, winter fun! If you're on the fence regarding these, I assure you that you'll never regret investing in Chopper Mill after seeing the enjoyment in your children's eyes while simultaneously keeping their hands warm and dry during the long, cold winter months."
