 Poster: A snowHead
|
I was sitting in a gondola a couple of weeks ago and the lady opposite me unzipped the back of her ski glove and took her hand out, which was encased in a sort of silk or polyester glove liner. While the glove sort of hung below her wrist she could take her phone out, or just let her hands cool down a bit.
I thought what a great idea. I sometimes suffer from sweaty hands and like to take my gloves off in gondolas, but the insides of my gloves get damp and it's hard to put my hands back in. these gloves would be perfect for me. Anyone have ideas on what brand these would be, or what they would be called?

Probably just a glove on a leash and a liner. You certainly don't need a fancy new pair to achieve this. Lots of gloves have leashes but, if your current gloves don't, you could easily attach them with a couple of stitches; then buy whatever liners you like (silk, merino, synthetic etc), and you now have a "glove system" rather than a boring 'pair of gloves'.

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

Yes, I could, but this was def a zip across the back of the hand just below the knuckles, so the entire cuff of the glove remained attached. It was almost like the glove was more a shell than a glove, or maybe a shell with some insulation. If I wear inners my hands just get too hot.

There are some very thin inners availble though.. I don't see why they'd be any more sweaty than a built-in system (though I agree that it would depend on the puffiness of the original outer; some gloves in the shops look like sweat factories to me.. I steer well clear of them!)

The problem is that silk wears out and can be torn very easily - I just wear removable silk liners in my gloves and replace them as necessary. Gloves remain on a leash so you don't lose them (Hestras). A zip on the back of the glove sounds like somewhere you'd normally put a heat pad.

Look like a good idea. My hesta mitts have leashes and I'm pulling them off all the time to let them dangle, which does get in the way sometimes. Plus I'm terrified that one day I will forget to put the leash around my wrist, and my mitt will go sailing down off a chair into some gnarly area that I'll be forced to into to find said mitt.

I have 2 pairs of these. They are brilliant. I bought a new pair of Hestra Lobster Mitts at the end of last season and they have been on once as the 10Peaks have become my default choice. They work very well and as I'm sure @Little Martin, can testify are great when teaching. They don't have liners so I assume the lady must have had her own.
