Proper curling mitts make all the difference between being comfortable on the ice or suffering from cold hands. This morning I found a replacement pair of my all-time favourite curling mitts at O. W. Sports, located at 32 King St. in Uptown Waterloo across from Waterloo Town Square.
These mitts are made by Kombi, and the model is the XC Glide Mitt with Ultraloft insulation. They are thin cross-country skiing mitts with a nylon back and a leather-like synthetic palm, and feature stretch fleece cuffs. Warm and comfortable but without the bulk, they are absolutely great for brushing. They’re also available in four colours, including black with pink trim.
I’ll be happy to show them to anyone who’s interested in what I wear on the ice.
