Purchased winter mittens many years ago and quality is unsurpassed. About 4yrs ago I purchased a Karl Merino wool cardigan which I would wear several times a year for special occasions. This March I happened to notice all the seams had developed little holes, see picture. I contacted Wintergreen and asked if this is what I should have expected. Their response was "Our merino wool line is 100% wool, typically other brands are blending their wool products to increase the durability over time, but we have gone another route. After a few years of use they will lose a degree of durability."I let then know I have not seen this with any of my other 100% merino wool products from Icebreaker, Smartwool or others and told them I was disappointed and felt this was a faulty product. They replied "We appreciate all the feedback you have provided and have passed this conversation to our product development and production management teams."Needless to say I will not purchase any more merino wool products from Wintergreen and would caution other folks to be aware of this problem.Also, I posted a review on their website which they refused to post which again leaves me very disappointed in this company.All I can see is buyer beware when it come to Wintergreen Merino wool products.Mark

Without a doubt the windshirt is my favorite piece of gear that has been an almost every day carry! Exemplary design good for most occasions

My wife absolutely loves her anorak and it is very warm and great looking. The only problem is a defective zipper that malfunctioned after wearing it for only 3 months. I understand that it has been a year since we purchased it but it still looks like new and as I mentioned has had very little use. Now we have to pay for a new zipper plus shipping both ways. Disappointing.

I now own a number of items made by Wintergreen and I am extremely impressed by all of them. Their quality is top notch and I like knowing that I am supporting a local business that really believes in its product. The staff are friendly and very helpful. This is one of my favorite stores to go to when I am in Ely. I recently purchased one of their fleece Anoraks and I think it will be the only winter jacket I wear from this point forward. If it gets really cold I can always wear it over my Hygge.

Potentially the strangest review but I will change it. I am about to order The Expedition shell in Loden, partial zip. It looks amazing and your reviews are impeccable. Of course, looking at your sizing chart I realised (like I didn't know) that I need to lose a few KG (8) to be an M. I am going to take this as being my inspiration to lose those KG and own and amazing anorak!!!

In preparation for spending months working outside in Alaska, I had no clue where to start for finding suitable clothing for being out in the elements. Thankfully Wintergreen became my one stop shop for all things winter clothing! I was able to find thoughtfully constructed clothing, made for folks to thrive in very harsh winters. Every piece of clothing from Wintergreen has blown away my expectations of durability and they have so many amazing colors to choose from too! I'm delighted with the clothing I've gotten from Wintergreen and can't recommend them enough! The staff at Wintergreen are incredible and helped me so much in finding the best garments for layering and optimal warmth. The expertise and knowledge of their products is unmatched.

Thank you so much Sophie for your help in ensuring that my son received his pants in time for his trip to the boundary waters. I was so impressed with the quality, fit, and all the thoughtful details that went into the making of these pants.

This is not my real name, but I did send a note directly to Wintergreen management about a month ago using my real name. I purchased a Wintergreen coat 2.5 years ago for two reasons, I wanted to support a Minnesota company AND I needed a warm winter coat. I walked my dog every day twice a day for the past two years through December of 21 wearing this coat. The fit, the insulation, the craftsmanship was terrible. For example, the lining was so loose and bulky when I put the coat on it would come out the sleeve. The hood was more like a tube/bucket. I kept wearing the coat thinking it was me. I needed to wear four layers (literally) to stay warm, there was no insulation or too little to make a difference.Finally, in December I had enough. I wrote the company on their website (heard nothing back) and gave up on the coat. I purchased a Columbia winter coat and couldn’t be more pleased. I hate dumping on a Minnesota company, but my experience was terrible and I would never buy a Wintergreen coat again. I donated my coat to Goodwill, maybe someone in a warmer climate can put it to use.

INCREDIBLE staff-- so helpful. My husband and I are here in Ely for a week to ski, dog sled, and ice fish, so we needed some winter clothes (we're from GA, where it's 70° and humid in December!). We rented from them, and we were so satisfied with the quality!! The clothes were clean and intact, and the price was good (way better than buying clothes we'll never use again). The only thing we had to buy were regular mittens to go under the windbreaker over mitts-- they were only $25/pair, and we used them without the over mitts when we were skiing. SO WARM AND COZY. Definitely use their rentals if you're going on any kind of excursion in or near Ely.

The quality on the clothing/gear is second to none. The front of house, and back, employees are amazing. This is a true American business, I love it. Yes, it’s expensive, but they pay their employees well and the clothes is built to last.

There is outdoor clothing, and then there is the field tested, thoughtfully designed, handcrafted-with-quality that is Wintergreen. We're talking heirloom quality, and yes, in some cases price. But you'll not find better clothing for the cold.

It was at least 10 years ago, only the second time I had been in Ely--and we walked in the store without knowing anything about Wintergreen.. I ended up buying a pair of double-layer fleece mittens.I'm STILL wearing them today, and they STILL keep my hands warm while snowblowing or walking in really cold weather. Amazing! Wonderful mitts...
