Snowsled

In severe conditions, a layered system is really important, with the number and type of components being determined by the activity and expected weather. Needless to say, each components must be of a size to match the others.

Inner Layer

Often, but not necessarily, this needs to be a fingered layer if you need to use your fingers. Otherwise, fingers keep warmest if they are in a mitt, where they provide each other with warmth.

Glove Options:

• ‘Thinny’ or ‘Powerstreach’ gloves from Terra Nova terra-nova.co.uk
• Baselayer gloves from Outdoor Designs outdoordesigns.co.uk

Mid Layer

Depending on requirements, this may also be the inner or outer layer. If it is a mid layer then it would often be a mitt, with a sufficiently large opening for easy access for the gloved hand.

Options:

• Tyrol mitt or glove from Outdoor Designs outdoordesigns.co.uk

Outer Layer

As an outer layer of two or three, this should always be a mitt. Large, easy access for the hands is an important requirement, which is rare to find in normal production products (apart from the Snowsled handbags, shown). For safety sake, it is useful to hang them around the neck, from loops on the cuffs - you can’t risk hand protection blowing away!
The Snowsled ‘handbag’ system allows for very efficient management of hand protection.

• The outer shell is pure cotton Ventile fabric- extremely breathable and ideal in dry cold environments. Spandura fabric palm cover for superb wear resistance.

• One handed tightening at cuff.
• Elasticated back of hand.
