HEAT 2 SOFTSHELL

Use for photography, works great.

Planning for our almost month-long cruise down the Danube, Main, and Rhine Rivers, I needed a pair of gloves or glomitts that would keep me warm, dry, and allow full access to working my DSLR. After much research, it appeared that the Heat 2 Softshell was the way to go…and, it WAS! They have been so handy for the weather and with my Canon. 6” of snow and 14* in Prague; rain in Passau and Regensburg. I love all the mitt’s features, but the one(s) I most appreciate are the removal loops. Every pair of gloves and glomitts should have these. A close second place in features is that the mitts are made with a substantial ‘keeper’ grommet and utilize a small carabiner for keeping the mitts together. All of our other gloves/mitts have a tiny plastic keeper with a pliable plastic clip that easily allows them to become separated and lost…but, NOT with the Softshell! While not used as often as the four half fingers, the Velcro-secured thumb cover is very necessary, on occasion. The strategically placed magnets keep the mitt part free of interfering with camera operation.
When we found that my wife’s gloves were inadequate for the trip, she did her own research, not finding much in the ‘women’s’ catalogs. I suggested the 2 Softshell, she tried on mine, and immediately ordered her own pair. She, too, is ecstatic with our purchases. Thank you for a great product.
