Nice one made of turtle fur. Turtle fur? Cute name for synthetic mumblesomething. Soft fleece without that nasty micro-fiber feel. Turtle fur wearables are made in Vermont. The silky soft fabric is sustainably harvested from the far northern turtles found on the shores of Lake Champlain. See also www.turtlefur.com The above is kind of old. I'm sure Turtle Fur has expanded, in fact they now have wearables in merino wool, which is harvested from merino sheep. The above note is pretty much where they started. |

I think you will find that the so-called "fur-bearing trout" or "beaver trout" are really a variety of grayling. (see Howard Frank Mosher, "On Kingdom Mountain") |

I only really notice how cold it is on the lift -- thank you, Mr. Adrenaline. Or maybe just Mr. Concentration-on-other-stuff... I use a balaclava double layer 100% nomex fine threaded no wind passes. never get cold with it, try to blow through your head sock my blocks any air. I can stand on mountain and be a gate judge and the only thing that gets cold is my boots from standing in snow. |

I actually did a yahoo search on turtle fur. It's a company in Vermont that makes winter wear for women and children. Turtle fur is not made from turtles and it's not made from fur. It's just their specially woven type of fleece. (In other words you pay more for something you can get cheaper at Wal-Mart.) Vote for Palin-Brown in 2012. Repeal the nightmares.
