Last winter we had the best/worst weather depending on who you ask, at the first sight of snow me and the hubster got decked out in our best winter gear and headed out to play! Sadly, after a good solid hour of snow ball fights and snow man construction, my hands were soaking and freezing, turns out my snowboarding gloves only had a life span of 15 years (nothing’s built to last these days). Although we probably won’t see the same amount of snow again for the next 10 years, I refuse risk of not being able to enjoy it to the max when it does come, the Dainese All Weather Activity (AWA) Gloves look like the perfect companions for enjoying the bad weather.

Available in Extra Large, Large, Medium, Small and Extra Small, they run a little small, so we advise you to get a size larger than you would normally chose. These are the first medium gloves that have fitted my tiny hands. They come in one design, Stretch-Limo, which is an attractive navy with black detailing, they are nice and light at just 250g, and come with a host of useful features to keep those fingers toasty in the bad weather. The AWA keeps the profile as slim as possible while maintaining the right amount of D-Thermo insulation for warmth, the outer is constructed from a D-Dry fabric to keep out the wind and rain whether you are on the slopes or heading out for Christmas shopping.

To keep you connected and allow you to take photos to show off your winter adventures these gloves have touch screen compatible index and thumb finger tips on both hands which work surprisingly well considering their large size, you can easily text you friends for snowball reinforcements. Other features include reinforced palms (great for carrying snowboards or shopping bags), undercuff design, zip closure, soft fleece lining, hook and stings for hanging and attaching to clothing as well as reflective detailing for visibility. These gloves are comfortable, warm and non-restrictive the only addition we would like to see is a lens wipe on the thumb or finger to make them even more suited for the slopes. RRP £116.50
