Gloves are something of a problem for photographers. We need to wear gloves thick enough to effectively keep our hands warm, it is after all hard to operate the camera with numb fingers, but not so thick that the gloves themselves reduce our dexterity.

For years I’ve been using Sealskinz Dragoneye gloves which are suitably dextrous, waterproof and warm enough for most East Anglian winters but not warm enough for somewhere like Iceland in the winter and it was while searching for something that was, that I came across the Heat Company whose range of gloves looked to fit the bill perfectly.
