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 :-)

The Glove Bargain Of The Year

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
See these gloves...



Well, I was just in a Squires garden centre (don't ask) and I happened to notice a big display of these gloves in with the gardening gloves. I thought it was a bit odd DaKine going into gardening so I took a closer look and realised they had clearly bought a job lot and didn't know where else to stick 'em. Then I noticed the price... £4.99 a pair Laughing

So, a DaKine glove with a Goretex liner and water repellent leather palm for £4.99

They only had them in XL but they fit me perfectly and I'm normally an L.

So get down there: http://www.squiresgardencentres.co.uk/ there might be one near you and they might have a similar display. Buy 10 pairs for the price of one. You can just chuck 'em off the chairlift and laugh your head off.

Right now I imagine there's a convoy of cars heading down from the north Laughing

I'd love a pair and have been looking for some decent gloves for a while; these would be the right size for me.

Any chance you are visiting again in the near future and could pick up another pair or two?

Looks like Squires are mostly near That London which is a little far for me, but if any kind snowheads are going to one I would happily pay postage if anyone can pick me up a pair in size L, please (that's the size I normally wear in DaKine, I wear sise M in others). Ta!

rob@rar, twas the Badshot Lea branch but I don't go that way very often.

If it's a long way, best call them up and see if they'll mail order. Only had XL but, like I say, more like an L. Must've been 100 pairs.

I can only think they've been wrongly priced - ie the decimal point in the wrong place.

One small correction... the blurb on the display card mentions Goretex liner but also says Hipora - also a waterproof, breathable fabric. I reckon they have Hipora liners.

OK: I'm not so far away so I'm now planning to tootle over and buy a few pairs. I know, I'm a lovely chap. If you do want a pair, e-mail me BY THIS FRIDAY MORNING with which size you'd like. You can have them for the price on the ticket, however you will have to pay postage plus a bit extra as getting there will cost me a fair bit. When I say a bit extra I mean a few quid, depending on how many people want them.

Any size you like as long as its XL (which is really more like an L). Repeat, they only have XL.

andersont, well, normal-sized hands probably. My hand is about 9.5 cm across (just above the "Love & Hate" on my knuckles) - I would measure around the hand but this is a metal ruler. Anyway, I'm a L usually in ski gloves or golf gloves and these fit perfectly. By the way, you are the bravest person I know Laughing

My use experience with Hestra's has been limited to their childs range, but I can't say as I am overly impressed with them on that basis. They've kept my kids hands no warmer than other makes, and they are severely small around the wrist in terms of fitting the hand into them - a fault I've also found on trying on adult pairs.
