Smitten For These Running Mittens
Despite Monday’s random hit of 70 degree weather (Al Gore, you may be on to something)…temperatures are starting to drop which ultimately saps motivation to run outside. Like most things in life, my interest of course peaks when there are new clothes or gear to focus on!
Think convertible top minus the red mustang – the Saucony Ulti-Mitt ($38) uses super light material to provide extra protection over the hand from wind, rain and cold while still allowing for you to detatch part of the “mitt” and fold up under a hidden pocket by the wrist…leaving your hands free in the DryLete glove beneath. I like this feature because it’s impossible to fumble for anything with a hand in a mitten plus the thumb and forefinger have a separate slit that folds over to expose the pad of the finger for more dexterity. The glove…errr..mitt…also has a LED light attached for when you’re running in the dark (these days, i.e. 4pm)
