Gear Review: Barts Ski Gloves
The UK is feeling very spring-like right now, so it may not be the best time to tell you that I’ve got my hands on a pair of Barts Ski Gloves to review and put to the test.
Typically for me, I got them just a week after my trip to Scotland in February for a long weekend of winter climbing and I’ve not been near snow since. So, I promise to write a second review once I’ve been able to use them thoroughly.
In the mean time, here’s the lowdown:
The gloves feature a waterproof and breathable Dryshell outer and Dacron insulation which makes the gloves both flexible and incredibly comfortable when putting on for the first time. They come in a choice of black or white with a solid Velcro closure. For just under £15 (as at April 2011), they seem like really good value for money.
My old pair of gloves let me down in the Scottish Highlands, letting water through as I scrambled up the steeper slopes. I look forward to my next adventure with the Barts Ski Gloves.
As promised, I’ll let you know how I get on.
Until then, you can check these gloves out yourself at Chelston Direct. You can also find Chelston Direct on Facebook and Twitter.
Disclosure: I didn’t get paid to review these gloves but I do get to keep them. If they weren’t worth keeping, I’d tell you.
