Gloves are the answer…

…and you know that for sure.

At the recent TW event in Hammersmith, one of the presenters mentioned the phenomenon of ‘chubby hands’, a side effect of walking for any distance with your hands dangling fairly purposelessly by your side.  The use of walking poles has been identified as one preventative measure.  However, I have a pair of fingerless sailing gloves that seem to do a pretty good job.  I bought them sometime ago for kayaking (never got on with pogies), but I’ve often worn them for running too.  They have an elasticated strip around the wrists with velcro to secure them.  Mit gloven, nein chubby hands. 

Apologies to any native German speakers.
