I’m a little peeved right now. I bought a pair of thinsulate gloves on 12/24, and I just consigned them to the trash can – after about 30 days of use, these things were Wrecked. Absolutely In Tatters.

The seam along the thumbs Hulked out, tore across the palms, and the side seam on one opened and started trailing nauga like a kite’s tail. And this is not Hard Use. They didn’t break the bank, at around twenty bucks, but .

So Hep me to the true jive, boys. I need a pair of gloves that are tight enough to manipulate goods in the EDC (i.e., getting train tickets out of a pocket), keep a reasonable warmth in temperatures above freezing, won’t turn into bum gear in a month, AND – here’s the tricky bit, I think – are relatively waterproof.

Anybody selling clues this afternoon? Thanks!
