 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi folks, I'm off to Lapland in a couple of weeks. Been before, and love it- but I do remember cold fingers/hands being a little tiresome some days.
Thinking about getting some mitts, from a search around on here Hestra and Black Diamond Mercury seem well regarded, but ouch- they're quite expensive!
Any recommendations on anything similar?
If it comes to it, I'll just go for the Mercury's- but thought I'd check first of all...!
Right, back to planning my snowmobile routes...

Kinco 901Mitts. Wear them with a silk inner glove and lovingly caress them with some glove balm for waterproofness and they're brill. Spyderjon and livetoski probably have them. Added bonus they form part of your lumberjack fancy dress/kink sessions

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

Buy some when you get out there? One member of our party found his gloves to be inadequate for the low temps. All the gloves stocked in the local shop were designed for the local conditions. They were Finnish brands, none that I'd heard of, but they still get use on chilly days eight years later.

Hmm that's an idea. I know it's not the cheapest place by any means which I guess would be my only reservation. Shall dwell on that..

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

beats cold hands... a pity to spend so much money on a holiday to only have frozen fingers...

Think I'll go with what I've got, and if it's especially cold might just get mitts while I'm there.
If I buy expensive mitts now, I can guarantee it'll be no worse than minus 10 when I'm there  (maybe that's a reason to buy 'em!).

Bought some nice mitts in Tog 24 in the end for just under £30. Look perfectly decent and well designed for skiing with all the usual "bits".
With liners they should be nice and warm, though seem plenty warm without!

Yeah I've got a few already I'll take along. The forecast, although a bit early (going this weekend) is looking less cold than it has been, thankfully!
