Subject:Looking for Handeze gloves? A warning... From:Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca> To:techwr-l List <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com>, Craig Cardimon <ccardimon -at- M-S-G -dot- com> Date:Mon, 29 Oct 2007 09:15:33 -0400
In my previous post, I suggesting trying the HandEze Web site,
<http://handeze.com/>.
Unfortunately, I may have been premature. A second look revealed that
none of the pages except the ordering page were functional, which
suggests the site may be down temporarily -- or that the company may
be entirely defunct. The home page loaded with a "certificate has
expired" warning, but I ignored that because I see it fairly often
even for legitimate companies. But possibly it's the company, not
just the certificate, that's expired in this case.
An alternative might be a pair of fingerless gloves -- the ones with
the fingertips snipped off to various degrees of shortness. I had a
vague memory of there being fingerless rock-climbing gloves, and sure
enough, a quick Google turned up a great many alternatives. A quick
trip to your local outdoor equipment store might turn up something
suitable. You probably don't need the full high-tech abseiling/
rappeling gloves, but there are bound to be lighter versions that
provide warmth while wicking away moisture from your hands. Try
"fingerless bicycling gloves" too, for the same reason (e.g., http://
www.aerotechdesigns.com/gloves.htm).
If you find something decent, let us know how it works out for you!
