Economising…

[FISH BOY]

Right spec, right size, right price, wrong colour….

Don’t mind a bit of colouring in.

Got extreme in the name, so must be good. £30 (75% off) on a deal at Sport Pursuit.

I’m no artist, but pleased with the result.

I killed the green and the grey in the process.

well at least you will know they are yours and nobody will want to steal them

Have you heard of temu

Not quite Sitka, but worked ok.

Labeled as an extreme cold weather glove, I have to say they are pants. Was only -3 and both thumbs went completely numb - almost had to take my safety off with my teeth.

Individual ‘numb’ digits normally indicative of wrong fit/not quite the right shape in my experience? How was rest of hand/fngers? Years spent on the hills (worst weather/in a rescue capacity) taught me that even if a glove might feel ok “off the shelf” the difference in warmth between going a size up in the same type can be huge? Gotta love a wee bit of ‘modification’ in the interests of saving a few bob though - I’m all for it

Can't argue with the spot-on colours, though.

Rest of the hand and fingers were ok - just the thumbs. Literally my thumbs felt dead - had to put my hands down my trousers for 5 minutes to defrost them.

Tried that excuse in court once too……..

As I said, could be as simple as the fit being just a wee bit constrictive around the base of your thumbs which restricts circulation = baltic pinkies! Appreciate that it doesn’t solve your problem though….. could always try submitting them to the Tate Modern as ‘art’ & recoup your loss?

More likely they could be relegated to living in the truck as “guest backup gloves”

Oh the shame - not to mention the pain.
