Little Leather Gloves

With autumn’s delayed cold slowly creeping in, it’s time for a stylish hand protection. How about a sweet pair of short leather gloves? An investment that will last you years to come, the leather gloves are both elegantly stylish and protective. My personal favorites are the cropped models in statement colours, like red, purple or blue, but the classic brown and black are also welcomed. If you plan on investing in just one pair, chose carefully and pick a colour that will match most your favorite autumn and winter combinations (coat, bag, boots), or just pick a wild colour and let them stand out! Here is my selection:

Wonny winter riding gloves utilized environmental non-toxic micro fober and high elasticity four way spandex for comfort sculpted, breathable. The high elastic sponge in key parts can alleviate the reaction force from handlebar, reduce damage to the palm of your hand conflict and, reduce riding fatigue. Thumb with cotton terry cloth wicking to keep the face dry. The hand back use high elastic Lycra knitted fabrics feel good, not tight. The fingers “small ears” and non-slip piece at cuffs designed humane, better to remove off the gloves and reduce deformation. The Wonny gloves is an essential riding companion.

What to take on your first ski holiday

The excitement of a first skiing holiday is fantastic. For most people it’s the realisation of the often quoted statement “I’d like to try skiing one day”. Once you’ve been you’ll wish you’d tried it sooner. However as the holiday approaches this excitement may be tempered by nerves over the amount of gear you’ll need to take in order to make the most of your first trip to the slopes.
Your first priority is to ensure you stay warm and protected. The weather at altitude can change without warning and you’ll need to be prepared for the conditions ranging from brilliant sunshine to freezing blizzards.
To ensure maximum warmth and the ability to adjust to warm sunshine the best practice is to dress in layers
Clothing
Let’s start from the bottom up.
Thermal underwear should be worn over you’re conventional underwear, especially if your only taking a couple of pairs for your vacation. Thermal underwear can sometimes be referred to as long Johns. Along with a thermal vest they resemble ladies tights and go underneath your salopettes (waterproof ski trousers) offering a great opportunity for cross dressing. Thermal underwear should be made out of a material which will transfer moisture away from you skin through the fabric so that it evaporates.
Your middle layer should consist of a tee shirt and fleece or maybe just a long sleeved tee shirt if worn with a thermal vest.
The third layer and potentially most important to the fashion conscious is the Ski Jacket. In common with most ski equipment I would recommend buying a Ski Jacket from one of the well known ski clothing/winter sports companies. A ski jacket from your local supermarket may look like a bargain but once you’re out in the snow you’ll be wishing you spent that little bit extra.
Ski Helmet
Even if you’re not planning to zoom down the slopes like downhill racer Bode Miller a Ski Helmet is an essential piece of ski kit. A decent ski helmet will primarily help to prevent head injuries but will also keep your head warm. It also looks a lot more professional than an old pompom hat.
When purchasing a ski helmet you need to ensure it fits properly. Measure the circumference of you head just above you eyebrows will give you the measurement you need for selecting the right size ski helmet.
Goggles/Sunglasses
Sunglasses are great for protecting your eyes and making you look cool on those fantastic sunny days in the mountains but if it gets windy or the snow starts falling you will need goggles. Always take your goggles with you each time you’re out on the slopes in case of sudden changes in the weather.
Gloves
One of the things most likely to make you want to head back to the hotel is freezing fingers. Proper ski gloves or mittens are necessary. It's worth investing in a decent pair.
Ski Socks
Along with the freezing fingers mentioned earlier freezing feet are likely to make you want to head back to your chalet or hotel. Select some good quality skiing socks to ensure your feet remain nice and warm. Make sure you try the socks on before you go away. You should be able to wiggle your toes to allow for good circulation once your ski boots are on.
Other pieces of ski equipment like ski’s and boots can be hired at the majority of resorts. Hopefully you can borrow most of the kit above from friends or relatives.
