Tried a pair of these polar gloves yesterday when I was up with Arthur at Sureclean in omagh, they don't look like much but they are soo warm, I don't actually use gloves but if it gets much colder here in the north of Ireland then I very well may purchase a pair!! The inner layer (as a few have said) is a furry material which can be pulled out to wash if they become sweaty and the outer layer was described to me as basically the same stuff as protekacoat we use in vans! Unbelievable grip on the pole too, The two distributers for the gloves are Sureclean in omagh in Ireland and omnipole over in England, so don't think you can buy directly from joka themselves!! They seem pretty good, I'm sure we'l no more after a few months!!
