Keeping the cold away with Storm Chase wrist & hand warmers
Sophie and I love supporting and finding out more about local businesses, especially those based where we live in and around the Newmarket area and with a recent ski trip and cold snap I have been able to put the Storm Chase wrist and hand warmers through their paces. This British made and designed product allows you to have complete use of your fingers whilst keeping them warm which is essential when out on the yard or while riding. They are cleverly designed with the cuffs being made of a thicker soft shell technical material which has a warm and soft feel against the skin, whilst around the hand is made of a more light weight and stretchy material. This fancy material is call Supplex and it has high water and wind resistant properties.
Anyone who works with horses during the winter months knows how cold your hands and fingers get from the elements and wearing normal gloves can be frustrating as you have to keep taking them off to do rug buckles, straps, tacking horses up and having to take them off to avoid getting them wet while filling water buckets etc; It’s a case of on off, on off. Not so with Storm Chase wrist and hand warmers and I think there is no better fingerless gloves than these. They are close fitting so you hardly know you’re wearing them and remain comfortable all day long. I had full use of my fingers all of the time, so I wasn’t wasting time taking gloves off and when it came to doing wet jobs I was able to simply role the black hand part back by slipping my thumb out and the wrist area is water repellent so any splashes just rolled off the material.
I can even report that my hands remained warm whist out hacking in less than ideal conditions, which for me is a must, as I find that my hands are the first thing to get cold and I didn't want to wear large thick gloves which would be bulky and make it hard to get a good feel on the reins (which is essential to make sure you are communicating correctly with your horse). I have also just come back from a skiing trip to France where I was the envy of all my friends with the Storm Chase warmers! I slipped them on in the morning before getting all my ski equipment on and since they are so slim line I was easily able to put by ski gloves over the top without having extra bulk in the palms. I love capturing my skiing adventures with a GoPro so I was removing my gloves to switch the camera on/off a lot but this was not a problem even in blizzard conditions as my hands remained toasty with the warmers acting as a barrier from the biting wind. Handling your phone is simple and quick as your finger tips are ready for action too straight away.
=I would highly recommend the Storm Chase Warmers if you spend lots if time outdoors working or doing outside pursuits. Having cold hands is unpleasant, sometimes even painful and wearing gloves is not always possible which is where this product can make a huge difference to you. If you shoot, fish, ride, run, dog walk, ski, cycle to name but a few sports, I believe these would be an excellent investment to you. Priced at £23.95 these are great value for money. They are well made and wash up like new again. Mother’s day is also round the corner and these would make a very practical and thoughtful alternative to the usual flowers or chocolates gift.
