VALLERRET WOMEN’S NORDIC PHOTOGRAPHY GLOVE

www.photographygloves.com €75 / $80

Vallerret launched its first photography glove in 2015 and now there’s a range for winter 2018/19. Sized and shaped for female photographers, the Nordic is lined with merino wool and has Thinsulate insulation. The clever part, however, is that the tip of the forefinger and thumb can be flipped back. Magnets hold back these tips while you control your camera. Non-slip material on the palm side helps give you a good grip and each glove has a small pocket to hold items like a memory card. One even has a tripod release plate key on a lanyard.

Some of the white Thinsulate insulation sticks out of the flip-back openings, which spoils the look a little, but overall these are smart gloves that keep your hands warm. Vallerret is a Norwegian company and it classifies the Nordics as suitable for a mild winter, so they should be fine for UK winter weather.
