After years of repairing gloves that have been sliced by edges of skis, I have decided I need new gloves. I found a pair of 'what-felt-fabulous' gloves for outdoor activities called Skinz - with goat hide palms and felt very warm, very light and had a good grip! Before I buy these for skiing (it says they are suitable :lol:) has anyone else used them? and felt fabulous?? (and I can name at least 2 people who are going to make a funny comment about this!!) Go ...!!
Rather a bad day on the slopes than a good day in the office!

I got a set of Sealskinz gloves for chrimbo and cant wait to try them out.
Have tried the waterproof/breathable socks for hiking they are fab and keep your feet bone dry no matter what you walk through, also have a bobble hat that is really waterproof and breathable.
Its really good kit

There ok, I use them for cycling in the winter and have also used there water proof socks.... I wouldn't say there the best gloves on the market but there cheap enough and will do the job. I use northface gloves for skiing in, the thin wind proof ones which I prefer to the sealskins ...
