Gloves that are pretty handy

As winter approaches there are 2 things that you don't want to "save money on". The first is footwear and the second are gloves. There are not too many people that are heard saying, "My feet and hands are cold but that doesn't really bother me that much". Regardless of the type of gloves that you are used to wearing, the one factor that detracts from the best designs is that of the seams. The thing with gloves is that the seams go around each finger and the fabric is sewn toward the inside detracting from the dexterity of the the glove and warmth. Enter Komperdell, whose seamless glove design is truly revolutionary. Seams are only found around the wrist where the Merino wool liner starts. Oh yeah, there's a Merino wool liner even on the lightest weight glove and also come with a Lycra insert to wick the sweat away. Go to the website and check out exactly how much Austrian engineering can actually fit into a pair of gloves. It was nominated for the 2007 Volvo Sports Design Award...don't know what that is but sounds impressive. The newest glove will be available for Christmas.
