Batty Bat Bat


B.I.T.D. Steamboat style we proudly wore these dumb ass mitts that had a bat on them.  Ray Lang was the rep for them and somehow he convinced us that having a mitt stop at your elbow along with a giant bat on your knuckles was cool.  Maybe they weren't but when we saw Tex and Goodwill running them, well we kept our mouths shut and our hands warm.  The problem with Batwaves was that you never blew thru a pair.  For the most part, they were indestructible so over the course of a couple seasons, you never had to replace your mitts.  Maybe that's why they went out of biz or maybe a hand grenade is cooler than a bat?  Well last night on SnowboardSeattle I read that they were back and the product looks just like it did in 94.  I think I got to get me a pair just for Rays sake.
