Now is the time to prepare for skiing, not one week before your ski trip.
Here is a small ritual I do in October to my ski gloves in order to thank them for all the warmth they give me!
As you wear your gloves,,the lining and insulation "compacts" and also bundles at the finger tips!
Just feel the tips,,,,,you will note a "thickening" !
First heat up gloves with a 1-2 minute "hot air" session !
Then take each finger tip on gloves and "massage" out that bundle. Try to move insulation material down finger to palm area.
In palm area you will note little insulation since holding poles has "flattened" this zone. Again massage this area and try to move insulation towards center of palm.
Of course after massage session,,,,finish off with some "Dubbin Rub" ! In my country Dubbin is a waterproof/leather conditioner!
The gloves will thank you with warmth all winter long!
Next post will be about massaging your pants and jacket, so get them ready for the "spa "session !
