GLOVES & MITTS Gloves and mitts come in a variety of styles and colours. Gloves can have a great deal of warmth but some styles are also used for grip moreso than warmth. If you are going for a good gripping glove grab a broom and try the grip on the shaft. Some gloves also breath which is good for heavy sweeping front-enders. Skips may also want a glove that stands out more so as to present a better target as well as making for a better scene vehicle for hand gestures to throwers. Most gloves have a velcro closure system (ah yes, the sound of velcro at the end of the game signifying the shaking of hands) but some do not and are better for people who want a less constrictive closure. Gloves are made of leather or synthetic material. Mitts are usually leather with lots of fleece inside. Some also breathe. Others have a smaller hand box which keeps fingers closer together for more warmth. Teachable moment: Let your gloves or mitts air out between games.
