 Poster: A snowHead
|
Some of my ski gloves have a soft "velour" patch on the side of the thumb. I've always wondered at the purpose.
Is it designed for goggle wiping ? Or snot wiping ? Or both (though that would require one to remember which was used for which purpose !) ?
What is the collective SnowHeads wisdom on this ?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Goggles.
I have a pair of gloves where the trigger finger tip can be peeled back an inch and velcroed in place. Great gloves, but woe betide you if you absentmindedly decide to wipe your nose on your gloved finger and happen to meet the hook side of the Velcro on your sensitive little nose holes.

Snot smeared liberally over your goggles does prevent misting though

Snow works well for that too. Just for anyone who might go touring out of range of a toilet the day after a curry...

@deerman, snot wiping for sure. A couple of years back Dakine referred to theirs as a 'mucus retention mechanism'.
