Gloves / Mittens / Lobster Claws...
Nov. 10th, 2008 09:52 amI need to get me some gloves. Or something like gloves. I have reasonable around freezing / fairly waterproof gloves, but even at these temperatures they aren't great for biking, not great for weapons work, and if it gets much colder they won't be great even for forms work when I'm moving around alot. (Where I practice there is a lot of wind.) Though I have layered gloves and fingerless mittens to reasonable effect in quite cold weather.
Good gloves for biking and weapons work are my highest priorities. They don't have to be the same gloves, though that'd be a bonus. The last couple of joints of my fingers tend to get cold in my current gloves even when working out, which has we considering mittens or lobster gloves... but then, I *hate* not being able to make a decent fist (but I'll live) and not being able to feel my sword well is a real problem.
Suggestions? I guess I could hit REI once I get to Seattle, but I'm still training outside pretty much every day (if it's really muddy I train in the basement).
