WOMEN’S GLOVES

TESTING CONDITIONS

Fiona tested the gloves on a number of cold, wet mountains in Scotland, walking and running and managing winter hardware as well as a flask of hot tea! She has Raynaud’s, which means she relies on warm gloves and mitts year-round. All gloves were weighed on her digital home scales.
