RE: Looking for Handeze gloves? A warning...

["Cardimon, Craig" <ccardimon -at- M-S-G -dot- com>]

I think Handeze.com may have been gorked for some time.

I currently wear fingerless woolen gloves. Not really officewear, but
they work. 

I was looking for gloves that looked better in the office and maybe kept
you warmer. Handeze seemed like just the ticket. Someone else on this
list said you can find Handeze craft gloves at craft stores like
Michael's, and there's one 20 miles down the road.

I will let you know if I find them.

Subject: Looking for Handeze gloves? A warning...

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!
