Gloves
Dec 19, 2019 23:43:33 #
Lost a pair, today at Costco, bought replacements. Thinking about camera use. Thin, good fit, inexpensive ($14.99 - $3.00 Coupon) Got home, a hidden benefit - they are Touch screen compatible (a pad on each index finger). A feature of no value to me, but possible to touch screen users. Spyder Core Conduct Glove. Item 2000510 More info or photos on request tomorrow.

Thank you for the tip! Ordered a pair online from Costco and will use them at the gym for gripping those slick chrome bars and answering the cell phone.

Will not keep your hands warm at all. I also would advise you to purchase hand warmer packs. Cheap and they do work great. These little packets are activated by bending and shanking, keeps hands warm for hours. I shoot league ice hockey games and after shooting 3-4 games my fingers are shot, even with the heat packets. Can't feel the buttons and that stinks. I also have heavy gloves with the fingertips that open, these stink too.
Never had a pair of gloves that really works and allow you to operate your camera and keeps hands, fingers working. Good luck and keep us posted how you make out with these gloves.

Having lifted for years, I doubt these will work well for that, the palms are smooth and rather slippery. Cycling gloves are not bad for the gym.

What does, shanking, mean? I have never heard that term before. Do you mean, shaking?

In this context, you are likely right, a typo - but shanking is a golf term and can also refer to a prisoner stabbing someone with an improvised knife.

"Shanking" - a term used in prisons for using a "shank" to stab a fellow inmate or guard. If you shank a heat pack though it will just make a mess so better to shake than shank. Come on guys. Enough of the snark.

I'm 76...about 70 years ago...just before the vaccine was available I got polio which mostly settled in my right hand. It's still usable but much weaker than my left and does not like temps below 50 degrees. For my 76 birthday...my daughters went thru B&H and ordered 2 pair of their most expensive photography gloves, one pair over $100 and the other around $80. They both kept my hands warm but were so thick and heavy I was afraid I would drop my D500 and really couldn't operate the buttons even with the fingers that open. I returned the gloves and ordered a much cheaper and thinner pair, and also use the heat packs. Works much better. Now to figure out how to spend that B&H store credit. lol

I knew about the prison meaning having been the recipient/victim of a miniature shank in the form of an industrial staple one of the inmates inserted in my back with the use of a home made blow gun years ago. Of course there are very capable inmate made shanks in use/possession by inmates every day. Not being a golfer I had no idea of that meaning. Thank you.

I can understand that completely. Occasionally when dressing out big game animals and when my hands are cold and I have lost some feeling due to the cold I have worked up inside the animal and cut myself, minor wounds-no cause for alarm or gleeful shouts of joy from anti hunters, when I wasn't wearing gloves. Most of the time I don't wear gloves for that purpose because they just get filthy and bloody while not keeping my hands warm.
Have a Merry Christmas,
Dennis

I agree 100%...heat packs works wonders.Have neuropathy in hands and have a real low tolerance for cold. Heat packs are very good, I use HOTHANDS Long Lasting Heat....buy 10 pairs hand warmers in the bag.
