gloves

The ski gloves that I did have literally fell to pieces at La Rosiere because of all those drag lifts so I had to buy some more in resort.

I bought some big, roomy Versant Nord gloves which are great but not very elegant. I can't remember what they cost now - it was an emergency! The French saleswoman said she has a lot of trouble selling ski gloves to women because they seem to want tight-fitting gloves that make their hands look small and elegant and therefore the gloves aren't so warm because there's no space for air pockets in them.

Mrs W seems to prefer mittens she says they are very warm :D

Mrs W is clearly a very sensible woman :D

She is that :wink:

In the deep winter I wear a thin pair of cross country gloves (Ruetsch) under my fairly standard snowboarding (Burton) gloves. Snug as a bug in a rug.

Thats kind of what my Reusch gloves have, an inner and outer. I can wear the outers only in warmer weather.
Mrs H has got some Reusch mittens and absolutely swears by them. She says the difference is amazing.
