Old and shabby......

[snowbeach]

but they still do the job!
Ok I've had to sew them and even glue bits closed but they keep my hands warm and dry (well most of the time!)
I think they are over 15 maybe 20 years old and I haven't lost them yet so I'm still using them!
Good value I say!

PS: they are Reusch -30 Gore-tex Thinsulate

Yes, that is a heck of a good value. I have a pair like that. But, mine are looking so disgustingly dirty ... I feel like I need to retire them. Mine are purple also and they are still the most comfortable pair I have.

That was a great brand!!

Still around! I see the whole line of them at local ski shop (lots of racer stuff).
Inspired by fun thread title, I photographed my circa-1977 (older than many, if not most, members here?) Grandoe all-leather mittens, purchased to replace a similar pair that got rope-tow-destroyed in my early skiing years. Obviously, they haven't seen much wear but are carefully "preserved for posterity."

I love those mittens!

I had a pair of Grandoe mittens for.... oh about 8 years I guess? I just threw them out last year after much pressure from the husband. To be fair, the palms were almost entirely duct tape, but they were still SO warm.

Lol. I dunno. I've skewed on the younger side of many Diva meetups, and I went on hunger strike on Christmas Eve 1977.

Because . . . .?

New sibling came along. (okay, I was young then, but my point is, I think the majority of the ladies who have shown up at meetups have recollections of 1977)

Oh I got your point - just wanted to know the story of the hunger strike. And I, too, remember 1977. 14, braces, awkward - wish I didn't remember!

1977 was my first year U of Carleton ... I'd rather forget that year. Nothing against the U - just my choices!
