Commuting by bike in winter? These tips might help
by Martin Jungfer
Want to be able to use your phone outside without your fingers getting chilly? Keen to invest in timeless, durable accessories that look pretty? Sounds like you need Ugg’s Seamed Tech gloves.
We all know the dilemma. The temperature’s hovering around zero and your fingers are aching from the cold. But despite the chill, you keep fumbling to take off your gloves. Your phone’s vying for your attention again – with a message, an e-mail or something new popping up in your Instagram feed. There’s always something to swipe. It’s a vicious circle. A circle, however, that’s super easy to break out of.
Don’t worry, I’m not about to advise you to do a digital detox. Instead, I want to recommend a pair of gloves that have turned out to be a winter must-have for me.
Lambskin’s the key to keeping your hands and feet warm on cold days. And this is exactly what the Seamed Tech gloves are lined with from the fingertips to the turned-up cuff. Frostbitten fingers? No chance. Plus, these trusty gloves are water-resistant.
Smooth leather patches on the underside of the thumbs, index and middle fingers mean you can easily use your phone’s touchscreen. So, there’s no more faffing around with your gloves. And no more communication-based FOMO.
I’ve already explained that brown is the new (better) black. It’s less sombre, just as timeless and, contrary to some preconceptions, goes with everything. If you still haven’t warmed up to brown, the Ugg Seamed Tech also come in light grey, beige and black.
