 Poster: A snowHead
|
After taking off my skis in a rental shop in Andorra I walked down the road (2 mins) only to realise I had left my sunglasses and gloves in there.
I went back only to be told, "sorry none here!".
I'm now one pair of Oakley's and and a very aexpensive pair of all leather Dakine gloves down!
i can get the sunglasses again but a really good pair of all leather gloves seem impossible to find.
I've tried S&R but theeir range is cr4p.
I want gloves for skiing not the gauntlet type.
Any suggestions?

Jumping Jack Flash, Hestra do some nice short leather gloves which aren't the gauntlet type. www.hestragloves.com

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

Leather motor cycle gloves fine for skiing (unless you really suffer from cold hands - most blokes don't seem to it's more of a girly thing  ) and a lot cheaper than so called "skiing" gloves.

Trenmold, Somebody told me this before that if you buy Climbing gear (Enter various other sports here) the kit is the same as the ski gear but cheaper!!

Jumping Jack Flash,
What sized gloves do you need. While looking for other things I've found a brand new pair of Large Sized Reusch Ski Gloves that are too big for me.
They are black with brown leather trimming. They have brown leather palms and brown leather inside the fingers. The back of the index finger and thumbs are also brown leather. The gloves are Goretex and Thinsulate.
If you want them PM me. I'll sell them for £30 plus p&p.

Jumping Jack Flash, I have Hestra efforts, a little gauntlet... not right up over the jacket though.
Don't know how much they were.
