2026 Winter Olympics

I'd agree with the esthetic opinion, but mittens on a string is the most truly Canadian feature about them. I wouldn't denigrate the practice on a forum frequented by generations of soldiers who did the same every winter.

Canadian Olympic branded mittens were apparently one of the best selling items of merch going back to the Vancouver games when HBC was the uniform provider.

The missus has several iterations of previous toques and mitts.
 
I have two traditions. First, every year, for Christmas I put a pair of socks in everybody's stocking. Second, in every Winter Olympic year, I put a Canadian Olympic team's piece of gear in as a gift to everyone n the family.

This year, Lululemon let me hit both traditions in one shot because they had Olympic team's socks as an item available for purchase. :)
