Hands Have To Be Warm!The whole subject of which winter gloves is really determined by what you will be doing. Downhill, cross country, boarding shopping, picking up kids, evening out. You know the drill, you need several choices and depending on what else you're wearing will set to an extent what type, color and construction of glove we're talking about. Women's winter gloves is a vast territory! Guess, I'll just plunge in and see what I can find for you. First, let's pick up a dressy pair of gloves for about town that still have some warmth in them for a nasty cold day round the shops. Go to LL Bean's for a pair of cashmere lined Italian leather. They come in either black or brown. Good looking and I think they will be warm too with a cashmere cuff also. The Bean item number is TA198481 and the price is $49.
Staying with Bean for a moment, let's get a serious pair of ski type animals so you can brave anything. Taking the kids tobogganing or doing a bit of bumps and grind on the slopes yourself, these should work well. They're Gore-Tex Insulated Gloves item TA259533 with a waterproof yet breathable Gore-Tex liner, Neotec palm and fingers and a pullcord adjustment that you can make function with one hand. $39. Only available colors in black. Let's go to Saks for a pair of Short Silk Lined Gloves. Versatile two-button length in butter-soft lambskin. About 8" long. Silk lining. A slew of colors. Their # 0400335862531 $72, on sale for $50.40
