judynorth Posted March 22, 2009 #26 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Here is another option for fingerless gloves: http://www.wristies.com/ This past Christmas I made them for all our photographer friends and they love them. I bought a yard of polar fleece for less than $8, made several pair and still have fleece left. They work great to keep your hands warm on glacier days but keep your fingers free to work the camera. I actually used a full glove on my left hand and a wristie on my right hand. My DH and I shared one pair. :D My full gloves are fleece with leather palms and are made by Head. They are light weight but warm. I got them at Costco several years ago. I think the most important piece of clothing for AK is a breathable, waterproof, hooded jacket. I have an LLBean Gore-tex jacket and love it. It worked great on our 2nd and 3rd AK cruises. I sure wish I had had it on our 1st AK cruise. I got very wet in my water-resistant jacket.

Never heard of these. They would be so easy to make. Thanks for the link and idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
