Photography Minute

I’ve had the opportunity to get out into the field with my new pair of Freehands Gloves (see my initial review here).

Do I like these gloves?  Nope.  I love them!

These gloves have made my life so much nicer when out shooting in the cold.  Throw the gloves on, pull the fingers back and go.  No need to have one hand without a glove (which is what I used to do) or pull gloves off/on as needed.

I grabbed a few shots to show you what the gloves look like ‘in use’:

The gloves are great. The ends of the opening of the fingers is strengthened with extra thread (notice the green-ish thread at the openings) and the thumb and fore-finger have small magnets in them to keep the thumb/finger covers out of the way.

Here’s a few shots of the gloves on while holding my Canon 7D.

I’ve used the gloves three times now while in the field and can’t imagine ever going out again without them when its cold.   If you’re looking for gloves that will allow you to stay warm yet keep your fingers available for buttons and focusing.

Check the Freehands Gloves website out for pricing and availability.
