Most gloves already have something like this on them do they not

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

Only one pair of ours have. Stupidly, it wasn't something I even considered when I bought them

In which case the product you identified would probably do the job. Tends to be a standard feature that I look for on gloves these days

thanks for the tip - just bought some. I'd say only about half of ski gloves come with lanyards. I've got some good gloves that don't so these are ideal

@Ruddster, Thanks. I saw those, but it just worked out a little cheaper to get the others as there are six of us - and I wasn't sure if they were adjustable.

How about elastic from one glove, up the sleeve and down the other side like your mum did when you were at school

@martinm, I did that last time for the kids and it was a nightmare! The elastic kept stretching and the gloves were swinging around and getting in the way

The reason I didn't go for those is that it didn't look like they are adjustable.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Interesting they're sold in threes. Lucky there are six of you.

They stretch, and available in different sizes. Just buy medium for women and large for men, you can't be far off.

This must be a product for problem that I'm not that aware of! 11 seasons in and we have never dropped a glove on a chair lift.

@flangesax, I've never dropped a glove either, but I bet I would on the first day I stopped carrying a spare pair with me!

 never dropped them off a chair but have dropped them in the powder when fiddling with cameras etc - why is it that you always seem to get snow in the tips of the finger whenever that happens? Grr

Got some gloves with these on last year. Never lost a glove, but they are the greatest invention ever!! Don't knock em till you've tried em.

I had some cheapo gloves from Decathlon a few years ago (still going strong) - there's an elasticated loop on the cuff of each and they're brilliant. Simple idea - so simple I stitched my own version of this amazing invention onto my more expensive 'branded' gloves, works a treat and no dropped gloves.

@endoman, I'm not knocking them but certainly won't buy them without ever having the need (or is it like fully comp car insurance... I'm still in the dog house for that!)
@Hurtle, any normal day... Ski pass, cash, lip balm, sun-stick, phone, done!
[edit]It does mean my nipples get a bit cold though![/edit]

@flangesax,

I just add my own using bits of elastic - either stitching them in or threading them through the labels in the cuffs (if the labels are the double-sided types that facilitate that).
I find gloves with loops are particularly invaluable for taking photos - no need to worry about stuffing them somewhere when you slip them off. Also handy for toilet breaks .

thanks for the link, bought these as the other half got some from Technique Extreme last season and I borrowed them but when I went to buy they were out of stock.
The Hestra ones were maybe twice the price but that's only an extra £2, they are better quality and the free delivery took a whole one day. Excellent.

Yep, I had these from Decathalon and can you believe one of them came off the glove! Mind you it was probably after circa 200 days use and the gloves were worn clean through the leather and gaffa tape by then.
So I had to go buy more!!
