Don’t Leave Home Without… Sealskinz Gloves!
A pair of gloves is a packing essential, Globetrotters, especially if you’re heading on a cold-climate ride – think The Scottish Borders Ride, Castle & Estate Ride, Icelandic Wilderness Expedition, The Patagonia Trail, Rocky Mountains Ride, Mongolia, Glenorchy Back Country Ride, Big Horn Cattle Drive, etc.
Sealskinz Ultra Grip Gloves come highly recommended by your fellow globetrotters, and it’s easy to see why. They’re waterproof, windproof, and breathable thanks to the stretch-knit fabric. And as the name suggests, they also have excellent grip. No more reins slipping through your fingers! The merino wool lining adds warmth and comfort, drawing moisture away from your skin, and as a bonus, they’re touchscreen compatible. No need to worry about cleaning them, either – these guys can go straight in the washing machine.
If you’re based in Australia, we recommend buying your Sealskinz gloves from Bogong Equipment, an independent outdoor store that ships directly from their Melbourne outlet.
And for our international globetrotters, you can buy these gloves direct from the Sealskinz website.
***Oh and don’t forget to check out our GT Apparel online store if you’re keen to invest in some new gear ahead of your ride!
