Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Tan Leather Gloves

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
You know the ones, guides and instructors wear them. I prefer all leather gloves but have to resort to duct tape after only a few weeks whereas this type seem indestructible. Where can you buy them? Of course I should probably have started a new topic "how to carry skis" but couldn't handle the humiliation that would follow! Embarassed

PsychoBabble, if you want a little more upmarket Quechua/Decathlon do fine ones (about €25) or the general store just outside Jackson Hole, Wyoming do really nice deerskin ones (for about $12).

Thanks everyone. Next question "cool or uncool?" Or does asking the question mean I'm uncool for not knowing the answer? Damn this skiing lark is complicated!

Cold I'd guess. Short gloves with not much insulation. Recipe for cold hands in winter. OK for spring skiing maybe.

PsychoBabble, Cool? Very warm, on the coldest day in December they were very warm, At Easter they were possibly a bit too hot! Very Happy I guess it depends if you want to look like a tourist or a 'local' Toofy Grin
rob@rar these arent any old gardening DIY gloves theses are insulated gloves designed to keep hands warm in winter, as issued by CdA to their staff as part of their uniform Very Happy

rob@rar, My ones have Thinsulate insulation and a fleece lining, they are as warm as any ski glove, warmer if you need to touch anything metal since the leather is much thicker.

Bought these this year, cost me €20 from the Quencha shop in Sallanche/Passey and after about 35 days use now they have been lovely and warm and are nicely broken in (reckon they will be good for aprox 100 days total but I'll have to let you know at the end of next season) Smile

richmond, who said I cared? Just curious! Anyway the correct answer was"cool when worn by a mountain guide, seriously uncool when worn by a middle aged punter (me)". Laughing

PsychoBabble, sorry; I should have said, 'One is uncool for caring.'. I suppose I just resent the fact that there is no point in me even asking if any item of clothing or anything else of mine might conceivably be cool.

richmond, which probably means you are "uber cool"! There is in fact a thread on "coolness" which is why I mentioned it in 1st place. snowHead
