Pow Photog: the snazzy new gloves that apparently explode awesome all over the place December 14, 2007
Posted by tcbp in : General , add a commentAs I mentioned in this post, I was ordering some new gloves. They just arrived today because DHL decided the snow yesterday was too scary and didn’t bother to ever actually try to deliver them.
Here’s how they look when the fingertips aren’t folded back:
First impressions are positive. They fit well, are tight but not too tight and they do a pretty good job of insulating my hand and blocking the wind. The folding fingertip design seems to work well too. Although the website said they used velcro, they are instead using a magnetic clasp type thing. I think velcro would be nicer in terms of not having to worry about clinking things with little bits of metal; but they secure with a satisfying clink and won’t get gunked up with fuzz like velcro. Below are some pictures with the tips folded away:
Hopefully I’ll get to put them to the test soon, but I think they’re going to work quite well. Anything is better than freezing hands on a cold windy day. Only time will tell if they were worth their price.
