The mystery of the lost gloves

Hiking along the Pacific Crest Trail I came across a pair of gloves in the middle of the trail. I didn’t think to pick them up and catch up with the hiker who lost them, so I left them there. 5 miles up-trail a hiker named Ben asked if I’d seen them. Had I picked them up I could’ve saved him the 5-mile journey south to get them. So, when I came across this pair of Head Outlast Ski Gloves at the 2020 Vision trail angel spot I picked them up to see if I could catch up with the hiker who’s lost them. Nobody was around so they must’ve forgotten them and I’d be able to catch them up. Nobody turned up. Luckily, they came in very handy for the San Jacinto Mountains.

 

What are they like?

A little beaten up, but they’re incredibly warm and very waterproof. Without them, I would’ve been in a lot of pain with freezing cold hands in the San Jacinto. They’re not easy to move your hands in, but when cold snaps came along I’d put them on and save my hands from the freezing temperatures and they were far more effective than the skimpy Solomon mitten gloves I got in REI.

 

Value for money

I’ve searched around and it looks like they don’t even make these gloves anymore. Hopefully, they’ll come back in the Amazon link I’ve shared.

 

Whose gloves are these?

If these are yours, I’d love to get them back to their rightful owner! Drop me an email and I’ll send them over, wherever you are!
