I've always fancied a pair of those brown leather dress gloves you see
the officers wearing at a 'do'. Like to know where they were sourced.
For shooting I use Damart gloves, my fingers get too cold for
fingerless, I wear the long cuff, full glove version.
Coldest I've ever been was in the Cairngorms. I made a mistake, carrying
on when I shouldn't have. Then I failed to find the Shelter Stone. Then
I made ANOTHER mistake; instead of stopping and digging a snowhole, I
headed uphill towards another bothy some distance away. Then I almost
missed THAT...
I was too cold to sleep and was still walking like Gort when I got back
to Glenmore the next day. Never been so stupid since (I was only 19).
