Well I'm finally going to get heated gloves. I've tried many non-electrics, Hippo Hands ( which cut down the wind alot ), overgloves and the like. Even held off thinking the four new arteries to my heart might help with the circulation. Nope! Hands got cold on an unusually cool morning for this time of year, but about average for what passes for winter in the San Francisco Bay area.
So I went on a search. Reading all kinds of reviews and gathering all the data/prices/pros and cons for each manufacturer. Yes, Gerbling is not the only one out there. I found Widder. Great reviews, innovative applications, and more than competitive prices. Only one problem. All their warrentee's expire Dec. 31st, 2008. One person on a blog wondered what that meant. So, I called. Finally getting through, the person confirmed they are closing their doors as of 31 Dec.
If I was in pirate mode I'd say "Blast their eyes!"
Luckily I was in shopping and writing mode. But Dang! I do all this research and find what I want, then discover their closing. I am sorry to hear it. We now we have one less choice, and I must make a new selection.
Arrrrrrrr
