Aurora Heat

handmade in the Northwest Territories, reusable fur warmers, wild beaver fur, Indigenous knowledge, and natural warmth.

Aurora Heat, Inc. creates reusable natural fur warmers handcrafted in the Northwest Territories. Designed to slip easily into gloves, mittens, boots, shoes, pockets, or close to the body, they add an effective layer of lasting warmth and northern comfort without chemicals, batteries, or disposable waste.

Made from sheared wild beaver fur, Aurora Heat, Inc. products use the soft, dense underfur that naturally holds body heat close to the skin. This breathable, lightweight, and durable material provides effective insulation in cold northern conditions.

Rooted in Indigenous knowledge, northern living, and respect for the Land, Aurora Heat, Inc. supports trappers, Indigenous women artisans, and the economic strength of northern communities. Our near zero-waste approach ensures wild fur is used fully and respectfully to create long-lasting warmth from a natural Canadian resource.

Our beaver fur is sourced through Indigenous and Canadian wildlife stewardship across Canada, including the Genuine Mackenzie Valley Fur Program in the Northwest Territories. This program supports NWT trappers and promotes the responsible use of wild fur. Wild beaver fur is regulated under Canadian and international trade standards.

Beaver fur is abundant, sustainable, and deeply connected to Indigenous and Canadian heritage. Aurora Heat, Inc. carries this tradition forward through practical, natural warmth made with care in the North.

Visitors can purchase Aurora Heat, Inc. products in the Northwest Territories or order online, with shipping available across Canada and to the United States.
