So I just spent a week skiing in my new Helly Hansen jacket, and I was pretty amazed by its breathability. Despite working up a sweat, I always stayed dry. (Full post here)
Meanwhile, while my torso stayed completely dry no matter what, my hands were constantly SOAKED.
This was obviously annoying, and is leading towards a pretty unbearable smell. But even worse, when the temperatures started to drop, it got downright dangerous. On a few 7 degree windy chairlifts, my wet hands started to feel like ice blocks, and I even started losing feeling in all my fingers.
All this got me thinking, do they make breathable gloves, similar to my HH jacket? I'd think keeping the sweat out would go a long way towards keeping the warm in.
