Sealskinz Winter Mittens

£25.00

Reinforced palm; nose wipe; Velcro wrist adjustment; short cuff fits under waterproofs better than other mitts with larger cuffs; stunning price. But quite a short cuff, so you don’t get the wrist protection offered by others; no removable liner.

Trekmates Dry Classic Glove 2012

£25.00

There are a lot of gloves around the £25 to £30 price range, but the Trekmates Dry Classic Glove has a slight edge over some of them. It benefits from a waterproof lining and a good fit, which makes it reasonably dexterous. The palm is also a little more grippy than some, thanks to a textured finish. When you put ...

£40.00

These winter gloves feature a Gore-Tex waterproof lining; elasticated wrist and drawcord cuff; nose wipe; polyester pile lining; stretch fabric on back of hand for closer fit; reinforced palm; exceptionally close fit; wrist leash; narrow cuff fits under jacket sleeves easily.
