A frustrated father of twins invents a better mitten!
Not much changes your life more than having kids rightWhat about two kids at the same time! That's what happened to our founder Drake, twins, a boy, and a girl. Not only did this profoundly change his life but it launched a company....Veyo Kids.
When Drake's twins were old enough to "get out and play" he quickly became frustrated with how hard it was to get kids dressed and out the door, and then once they were out in the snow how quickly they got cold, or snow went up their sleeves or in their gloves.
"Kudos to every parent who has ever gotten a child ready to go play outside…and particularly in cold weather. I mean honestly—what goes on firstThe coat and then the glovesOr the gloves, so that the coat sleeves stay over the glove cuffs" - Drake
Drake thought that maybe it was just him, maybe he bought the wrong glovesHe scoured local stores and couldn't find what he wanted. What's a guy to doWell, Drake's a problem solver so he unearthed the sewing machine from the basement and went to work. Dozens of prototypes and three years later we introduce Mittyz.
Mittyz Sizing
- Small: 6 Months - 2 Years
- Medium: 2 - 4 Years
- Large: 4 - 6 Years
If your child is near the top of the suggested age range then feel free to bump up to the next size. Even if the glove is a bit too large upon arrival, your child will grow into it in the blink of an eye! We have intentionally sized our gloves to run a bit big as well as we have found that having a bigger glove is far better than having one that is too small!
