It’s a random decision-mitt wearers can’t figure out why anyone wouldn’t take advantage of the heat generated by fingers huddled together, while glove enthusiasts are boggled as to why anyone would compromise the dexterity and shaka-bility of gloves. Luckily, manufacturers are starting to make models in both mitt and glove versions, so no one should feel left out this season.
As for this winter’s trends, expect to find even more slim and low-profile winter gloves than before-hallelujah!-A.F.
Burton
Approach glove or mitt in blu tang/firecracker red, $45
Both versions from our friends at Burton come with a removable fleece liner and Thermacore insulation-toasty in even the most wicked nor’easter.
