Learn about our Insulated Pogies
Our go-to for keeping hands warm and happy in winter. These Pogies are insulated with Primaloft Gold to create a cozy micro-climate around your hands. Slip them over trekking or XC-ski poles to stay warm. A magnetic zipper at the bottom pops open when you need full dexterity for tying shoes, grabbing a snack, or snapping a quick selfie.
Primaloft warmth, waterproof shell
Insulated with a layer of 4 oz Primaloft Gold insulation, one of the most efficient synthetic insulations available. The insulation is sandwhiched between a waterproof breathable shell and a taffeta lining.
Temperature range
Everyone runs differently, and what's toasty for one might be finger numbing for another. We usually pack our Pogies as temps drop below freezing. Very warm-handed users may be fine with just the Pogies into the single digits, but most will want light gloves underneath. If your hands run cold (like ours), plan on a liner near freezing and add gloves as temps drop.
How to use
- Slide your hand through the cinched opening and adjust for a comfortable fit - avoid overtightening.
- To use with poles, slip the pole through the magnetic opening at the bottom and let the magnets snap shut. A little shake may be needed.
- Most people keep the Pogies attached to their hands, but you can also leave them on the poles. Keep the wrist opening loose. This lets you slip your hand in and out, especially with oversized Pogies.

Sizing
Measure the length of your hand from the base of your palm to the tip of your longest finger to find your size. If you think you'll wear a light glove or liner under the pogie (we often do), measure with the glove on.
- Small: 14 - 17cm | 5.5 - 6.75"
- Medium: 17 - 20cm | 6.75 - 8"
- Large: 20 - 22cm | 8 - 9"
There’s plenty of flexibility with sizing, but here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Size up for XC skiing or if you plan to keep the Pogies attached to your poles.
- If you’re between sizes, sizing up usually works best. If you’ll mostly use them without poles, consider sizing down.
- Pogies that are too big will still work, but they can feel floppy without poles and the magnetic closure can be harder to open.
- Pogies that are too small may feel restrictive, can pop open more easily, and may make the magnetic edge more noticeable against bare skin.
Notes/FAQ:
-
How do I open the magnetic opening?
Spread your hand apart; spread sideways with your thumb and pinky while also pressing forward and up with your other fingers (this helps keep your thumb and pinky closer to the magnets). It can take a little practice before it comes naturally. -
Do I need to seal the seams?
We generally don't seel the seams on our pogies. We're usually using them in temps below freezing, plus the seam will keep most moisture out as is.

Product Availability
- In most cases, items that are available to add to your cart are in-stock and ready to ship. Please refer to the shipping tab or page for expected fulfillment times.
- Some items may be marked as "Avalable to backorder," "Made to order," and/or show a lead time. In these cases refer to the information on the product page for expected fulfillment times.
- For items that are sold out, please refer to the production calendar and the Q & A below for more information.
Q: When can I expect the item I'm interested in to become available?
A: For most items, please refer to the production calendar at the bottom of this page. This calendar shows when we expect to work on more substantial products. For some accessory products, production may not always be scheduled in advance and availability may be unpredictable.
FYI: If you do not see the item that you are interested in, then we do not know when it may become available (We're often not scheduled far out in advance and don't have a private schedule beyond what's shown!).
Q: Can I pre-order, back-order, or reserve an item?
A: We don't typically reserve products, however there are some exceptions to this. For example, if someone orders an in-stock Cirriform and wants to also order an out-of-stock Bug Shelter for it, if the Bug Shelter is expected within a couple weeks, we'll usually make arrangements to reserve one of the Bug Shelters and hold the order so shipping may be combined.
On occasion, select products may be available to back-order or pre-order. When this happens, that status will be shown on the product page. If you're signed up for the stock notification, you will receive a notice that the item is available to back/pre-order.
Q: Can you let me know when the item becomes available?
A: Yes. On the product page, enter your email address in the space provided to be automatically notified when inventory becomes available. If you don't see where you can do this, please let me know; sometimes there's a fluke in the settings and the field doesn't show. Please note that the email notification could get filtered out as spam. You can try to 'whitelist' info@yamamountaingear.com to make sure the email comes through.
NOTES ON USING THE CALENDAR
- For products shown on the calendar, you can typically expect the item to be made available towards the end, or soon after the period shown on the calendar. Sometimes, however, some items may be listed earlier in the period. For example, if the calendar shows that I'm working on tapered tarps, certain sizes may become available earlier within the period with other sizes coming later.
- Items that specify "ongoing production" mean that we are continually working on these items and doing our best to maintain inventory. If the item or a particular size is sold out, you can expect it to likely become available soon.
- Please note that you can change the month shown on the calendar using the arrows at the top.
