|
Your gloves will not only protect you against cuts and scrapes they will also protect you from the cold and wet weather. When your hands are cold they don't respond as quickly as they should so you'll want winter gloves for the colder season and light gloves for the summer. Before winter arrives always coat your winter gloves thoroughly with a waterproofing. The same type you would use on your boots works on your gloves. You can also use Scotchgard. Gloves are very personal so choose gloves that you personally find appealing and comfortable. It's also a good idea to have a spare pair for any passenger you might have with you. 1.
